You can hear sound samples at CDUniverse.I really like their version of Al Grren's "I'm Still In Love With You"...it's better than I expected.

btw,why is everybody making an album of old classic songs? Rod Stewart,Queen Latifah,Michael McDonald,Chaka Khan and now Hall and Oates.I'm not necessarily complaining,but I just think it's amusing.

not have it, but I will

Because they don't want to write original material, for whatever reason.

When you posted the track listing of the H&O album some weeks back I was skeptical of some of the songs they were covering. I always dug Hall & Oates' own Soul music, but covering Teddy's "Love TKO"?? I wondered how that was gonna turn out.

I heard it in its entirety recently. It's really not bad at all. It didn't make me want to change the station. Now I'm even more curious as to how the other songs turned out. Especially "Rock Steady," "What You See Is What You Get," "I'm Still In Love With You," and "Used To Be My Girl."

I'm still skeptical (especially about "Neither One Of Us"), but not as much as I was.

I have to admit,when I first saw the tracklist,I was a little skeptical too.I love Hall and Oates and they have done their share of soulful songs in the past,but it's always a risk to remake classics by the likes of Al Green and Gamble and Huff.This project could have been an embarassing fiasco...lol...but based on the sound samples that I heard,it sounds pretty good.I will definitley go out and buy this CD.In a few days,I'll write a detailed review.
