She’s Gone
Hall and Oates “Abandoned Luncheonette” Atlantic Records (1973) Produced by Arif Martin Hall & Oates second record which includes “She’s Gone” and, maybe my favorite, “Las Vegas Turnaround.” Also here is “When the Morning Comes,” “Had I Known You Better Then,” “Lady Rain,” “I’m Just A Kid,” “Laughing Boy,” and “Every Time I Look At You.” Great studio session players here include Hugh McCracken (Guitar); Bernard Purdie (Drums); Ralph MacDonald (Percussion); Joe Farrell (Oboe, Tenor Sax); and Richard Tee (Piano). I got this record when it came out and it brings back lots of memories. And a cool cover!
