Customer Reviews

good debut
This is the album that kicked off a great career. It may not be the greastest album they made but it's not bad either. It's obvious that they were looking for there sound. I would reccomend this for die hard fans like me.

Good...but the best is yet to come
"Whole Oats" is Daryl Hall & John Oates' first album. With this album, Hall & Oates were experimenting with various musical styles-from folk music standards on songs like "All Our Love", "They Needed Each Other", "Southeast City Window" and "Thank You For...", to rhythm & blues standards on "Fall In Philadelphia". It is this kind of experimentation that makes this CD wonderful to listen to. "Lazyman" features the theme line "is your a** getting sore?" and "Goodnight And Goodmorning" was later covered by Cecilio And Kapono. The CD's cover featuring an opened oatmeal box isn't bad, either. Better buy this CD before Atlantic decides to shelve it.

WHEN HALL AND OATES WERE JUST "WHOLE OATS"!
This is a little know album by Hall & Oates. The album is not the typical H&O stuff from the 80's, but it's an excellent album which includes one of their greatest songs ever! 'Fall In Philadelphia' is an exceptional song which is worth the price of the CD on it's own. An interesting debut from the Philly Soul Duo.
