Personnel: Daryl Hall (vocals, mandolin, keyboards); John Oates (vocals, guitars); Jerry Ricks (guitar); Bill Keith (pedal steel guitar); Mike McCarthy (bass guitar, percussion); Jim Helmer (drums). The only sensible way to approach Hall and Oates 1972 debut album is to think of it as their baby picture. Which is another way of saying that little on it sounds much like the music they're famous for, let alone the Philly soul and doo-wop that inspired them. Instead, WHOLE OATS sounds exactly like the music that dominated the charts at the time it was recorded, e.g. sensitive singer/songwriter stuff (think James Taylor meets Laura Nyro) and city-boy-country rock, sort of Poco-lite. It's all very pleasant and well crafted, but obviously the best was yet to come.
The pre-eminent white soul duo of the 1970s and '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates ruled pop radio for years with their hook-ridden hits. The pair eventually moved beyond their initial inspirations--primarily Motown groups like the Temptations and Philly soul artists like Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes--and incorporated pop, rock and disco into a sound that managed to be both commercial and soulful.
