Daryl Hall & John Oates: Abandoned Luncheonette (Atlantic SD 7269)

John Swenson, Crawdaddy!, June 1974

ATLANTIC RECORDS has the habit of taking original material and placing it in the context of an incredible array of session musicians. When they're working with top flight songwriting, the result can be sublime, an apt description for Abandoned Luncheonette, the second album from two Philadelphia songwriters, Daryl Hall and John Oates.
