This Is My Happening: The Bird and the Bee Salute Hall and Oates

Regarding the upcoming Hall and Oates tribute album, band members are squelching rumors of hipster tongues implanted in cheeks. Greg Kurstin said, "There’s definitely no irony. They’re great songwriters and these are great songs.” and Inara George adds, “It was exciting to discover what an amazing singer Daryl Hall is.”

The upcoming tribute album, Guiltless Pleasures Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates will be released on Blue Note Records March 23.

Guiltless Pleasures Volume 1: A Tribute To Daryl Hall And John Oates track list:

1. Heard It On The Radio
2. I Can’t Go For That
3. Rich Girl
4. Sarah Smile
5. Kiss On My List
6. Maneater
7. She’s Gone
8. Private Eyes
9. One on One

Does Greg Kurstin ever take a break?! I'm glad he doesn't, 'cause I enjoy his work immensely. The Bird and the Bee had done quite a few excellent covers over the years. Take a listen to the Rihanna cover "Please Don't Stop The Music" and the Bee Gees cover "How Deep Is Your Love" to get an idea. This is going to be great!
