John Oates interview and performance at the Rocky Mountain News

When people think of John Oates, it's generally as in "Hall & Oates," and he's not surprised. His new album, 1,000 Miles of Life, is only his second solo album. The co-writer of Maneater, She's Gone, Sara Smile, Every Time You Go Away and other Hall & Oates hits has been prioritizing his life, whether it was moving to Colorado years ago or raising his family. Besides promoting his solo album (and its slew of guest artists, such as Bela Fleck), Oates is setting up a trio of songwriter workshops at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen for next year with himself, Tift Merritt and other writers playing songs and telling the stories behind them. He stopped in at the Rocky last week to talk with pop music writer Mark Brown about music and life - and to play some as well.
