About this month's episode:

Eli "Paperboy" Reed and Alan Gorrie

Daryl Hall and Boston singer/songwriter Eli "Paperboy" Reed, who is about to release his Capitol Records debut, Come and Get It, immediately discovered they had something in common before joining together for the 27th and latest installment of LFDH. As a special added attraction, Average White Band's Alan Gorrie sat in on bass, helping Daryl and Eli cover one of the group's biggest hits, "Pick Up the Pieces." Both Daryl and Eli are stone soul music freaks, with Reed's odyssey taking him from a preternaturally mature teenage R&B shouter from a Boston high school to a Mississippi Delta juke joint, from Sunday morning gigs behind the organ at a tiny South Side Chicago church to headlining the coolest clubs in Brooklyn with his red-hot band, The True Loves.

In this episode Daryl and Eli collaborated on a set that includes a cover of Hall and Oates' "It's Uncanny," from their 1977 No Goodbyes "hits compilation" for Atlantic Records and legendary Philly street corner band The Volcanos' "Storm Warning," an H&O outtake originally intended for the 1990 album, Change of Season, now included on the recently released Sony Legacy box set, Do What You Want, Be What You Are.

The performances also includes the Reed originals, "Take My Love With You," "I Found You Out," "Pick a Number" and "You Can Run On," and covers of AWB's "Pick Up the Pieces," Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford's "I Need Your Loving Everyday," The Falcons featuring Wilson Pickett's "I Found a Love" and Chicago soul duo Mel and Tim's "Starting All Over Again," a song covered by Daryl and John for their 1990 Change of Season album.

I cannot believe that Daryl is 63 holy crap he looks great...he looks 43.

Seeing Alan Gorrie put the first smile on my face. Next, hearing Charlie on sax with the other horns delighted me. Then Eli transported me back to when I was a little girl sneaking down to the top step of the basement to listen to the "grown folks" play records on the "hifi" What a treat, I love the 15th...thank you all! Now I want BBQ.

Who says you can't go home again? Listening to Eli took me back to my teen years in the late 60's and all the great music I loved. Pick a Number and Storm Warning were two faves from the show along with Found A Love. I will definetly be following Eli's career in the future. Daryl you were right on target once again....OUTSTANDING SHOW! BTW I love you and T-Bone discussing the artists and the music.

What has God wrought? I looked at this kid who looks like he is 12 wearing an Ozzie Nelson sweater and I figured this would be a lost episode...My God...what a talent.
