Abandoned Luncheonette is where Hall & Oates found their voice, a warm, soulful second album presented here on CD.
Released in 1973 on Atlantic, it pairs Daryl Hall and John Oates with producer Arif Mardin, who brought a polished, sympathetic touch to their blend of Philadelphia soul, folk and soft rock. It was not an immediate blockbuster, but it has since become one of the most admired records in their catalogue, the album many fans point to as their finest hour.
She's Gone is the centrepiece, a slow-burning breakup song that builds from a quiet, aching verse into a huge, gospel-flavoured chorus; it became a hit when it was reissued later in the decade. When the Morning Comes opens the record with an easy, sunny groove, and Las Vegas Turnaround, written by Oates, is a breezy, jazz-tinged portrait of an airline stewardess.
The title track brings a more reflective mood, with lyrics about a roadside diner left to fade away, and the arrangements throughout lean on acoustic guitars, soft keys and close, harmonised vocals.
Long before the big eighties hits, this is the duo at their most intimate, and the songs still sound remarkably fresh. Put it on and the warmth of those vocal harmonies does the rest.
