John Oates has had a long and storied career with Daryl Hall, but his solo career contains many special music journeys of its own. Oates’ latest is an inspiring three-CD set entitled “Good Road to Follow.” There are many interesting collaborations and explorations that take the listener far and wide across southern fields and endless highways, with Oates as a musical tour guide of sorts. Roots, soul, country, Americana – meet your new summer road trip CD, courtesy of Joan Oates, whom Chris spoke with recently for “Music.”
