ABOUT ARKANSAS ALBUM

The
project originally began as a tribute to Oates’ idol, Mississippi John
Hurt. During a series of Nashville recording sessions, it evolved
organically to become a unique collection drawing from a wide range of
Oates’ musical influences. Asked about the style and sound of Arkansas, John says, “It’s like Dixieland, dipped in bluegrass, and salted with Delta blues.” 

Recorded
at Addiction Studios in Nashville, the album was produced by Oates and
David Kalmusky. Oates teamed with an amazing group of accomplished and
rising stars in the Americana music world, “The Good Road Band”. The
impressive lineup on the record consists of Sam Bush on mandolin, Russ
Pahl on pedal steel, Guthrie Trapp on electric guitar, Steve Mackey on
bass, Nathaniel Smith on cello, and Josh Day on drums and percussion.
With this incredible band, Oates shines a light on music from America’s
past long before the birth of rock ‘n’ roll.
