Arkansas is the state across the river from Mississippi and Tennessee, on the opposite bank of the delta that has so hugely influenced American music. The state of Arkansas may not quite have the status of Memphis or the Mississippi Delta, but the state of mind there is no doubt akin.
Music legend John Oates has released a robust new album named for the state, one that does Arkansas proud. He’s put together a solid set, a survey of traditional Americana from deep blues to classic country-western. In fact, Oates designed “Arkansas” around a theme – American pop hits in 1920’s and 30’s, with a special focus on his hero, Mississippi John Hurt, whose songs are widely covered on the album. The project actually started out as a tribute album but expanded to include songs from other artists who were contemporaries of Hurt, along with a couple of Oates originals.
For Oates, who is best known for his #1 pop hits and longtime collaboration with Daryl Hall, the album is a return to his roots. He began his career as a folk/blues musician in Philadelphia in the 1960’s, before turning to the “blue-eyed soul” sound that defined Hall and Oates.
Oates put together an “A Team” of Nashville cats including Sam Bush on mandolin, Russ Paul on pedal steel, Matt Smith on cello, Guthrie Trapp on guitar, Josh Day on drums and Steve Mackie on bass. The first-rate band certainly adds authenticity to the effort, but Oates himself is a strong roots artist, having recorded several recent albums under the Americana umbrella. In a recent interview, he noted, “The album is the expression of everything I’ve done up to this point.” We concur.
The album opener Anytime is pure ragtime, the tune written by Herbert “Happy” Lawson and originally sung by Emmett Miller in 1924. It sets the old-timey tone and is handled perfectly by the band.
