Butch Walker shines with Daryl Hall

A couple of weeks ago I checked out the episode of Live From Daryl's house featuring Butch Walker as the guest artist.  The show took place in late 2012.  The chemistry between Butch and Daryl is great throughout and the band feeds off both of them.  Of all the tunes they play, the one I keep coming back to for another listen is "Say It Isn't So."  It's up on YouTube these days so you can check it out right here.  Great rendition of a great Hall and Oates classic.  Enjoy and don't hesitate to comment.
