Before dominating charts around the world, Daryl Hall & John Oates were crafting heartfelt, genre-blending songs that reflected their Philadelphia roots and deep love for soul, folk, and American pop. "Philadelphia Daze" is a handpicked vinyl compilation that captures the raw charm and emotional depth of their early recordings, before the polished hits, but already rich with harmony and heart.
Side A features introspective gems like “ A Lot of Changes Comin’”, the bluesy “Deep River Blues” , and the contemplative “Past Times Behind”, showcasing Oates’ melodic instinct and Hall’s expressive songwriting. Tracks like “In Honor of a Lady” and “The Provider” round out a side full of warmth and soul. Side B leans into the duo’s emotional core, with standouts like “Angelina” , “The Reason Why”, and the enduring fan favorite “Perkiomen”. From the tender “They Needed Each Other” to the reflective “A Truly Good Song” , "Philadelphia Daze" offers a rare and intimate portrait of Hall & Oates before they became icons - a soulful glimpse into the roots of the best-selling duo in music history.
