The members of The John Oakes Band just keep coming out with new, dance-friendly music in a style all their own. With a follow up of their debut CD, The John Oakes Band''s newest CD, I''m An Acorn, I''m A Tree, introduces a contagious, "anything goes" style of funk rock. This CD features lyrical tracks including "City Girl, "Chupacabra," and "Auf Wiedersehen" as well as two live tracks. I''m An Acorn, I''m A Tree also features dance step instructions for the band''s signature song, "Do The Oakman!", which was written by bandleader, John Oakes. This interactive song has gotten the best of them up and boogying! The John Oakes Band is led by the seasoned and multitalented John Oakes as well as members Rich Adams, Bob Albert, Eric Seiz, Edison Trujillo, Michael Robbins, Mike Alfano, Jason Loughlin, and Shannon McCandless. Every track on the CD is a refreshing eclectic twist of foot-tapping, hand-clapping, honest-to-goodness music.
