    Born and raised in Arkansas. Deployed right now with the Arkansas flag hung on the wall. I can't wait to go back home.

    As a displaced Arkansas delta native, I just found this song and can’t even begin to describe the homesickness this pulls out of me. Grew up in southeast Arkansas where the landscape is just like this. Really means a lot to have a song and video that gives a little love to my homeland. Not to mention John’s voice is amazing.

    It doesn't get any better. Purest, most American genre, John Hurt's Guild. For my money, this is the best song I've heard from John Oats.

    I'm an Arkansan all the way through! So when I heard this song, all I thought was: "It's so nice to see others that are finding the same beauty in Arkansas as I do!!" 💟💕💟

    This is where I'm from. This song is everything about that natural state. The trails, the rivers and creeks, the wide delta up in Jonesboro where I went to college. All of it! The hidden parts of Little Rock. The land outside of Fayetteville where I spent a decade of my life. I'll never be shed of Arkansas, and I don't want to be. I hope I end up there again one day. Arkansas runs deep in me, John. Thank you for this song.

      It is a beautiful song, and being from Arkansas, I would like to say it brought back memories of having to work in those cotton fields, where my family made their living raising cotton back in the 50's. As a young lad I remember having to pull a cotton sack 10 hours a day, picking cotton by hand, no mechanical cotton pickers back then, but I wouldn't change a thing.

We need the voices of those who know the heart and soul of this beautiful country to sing their songs and mayb, just maybe, be a clarion call to the youth of our nation and the world about the blessings we all share. This song is a great start but we need more, much more!

    On the off chance this will be read...by John Oates...saw you at the beautiful Stephanie Weill theatre, your first time in Sheboygan last night. Fantastic...but you experienced the phenomenon here... Wisconsin folks are slow to build their enthusiasm for "new" music/sound. Once you are in, you are in for life. The small but welcoming and appreciative audience were there because it was you and *not* Hall & Oates. Hearing many of your influences...Philly, folk, Colorado, etc., in your live show, I love roots music and your treatment of it, but all this said...you did You Make My Dreams Come True in Sun Records style. That was fresh, fabulous, and fun! (I would buy that record, is what I yelled from the front row but the group celebrating a couple's engagement drowned it out). Please make that album...or at least you tube a few session songs... Disappointed, I was hoping you would do a meet and greet... I bought your memoir and read it... Sure would have liked to have met you and have you sign it to me. I look forward to catching another show in the future. Thank you for coming to Sheboygan!
