Phunk Shui


Phunk Shui is a 2002 rock album by John Oates who is best known as being part of the rock and soul duo Hall & Oates. The album was originally released on August 20, 2002.
The Phunk Shui CD was released four more times, with bonus tracks added each time. On October 29, 2002, a Japanese version added the bonus track "Mona Lisa's Eyes". Two more bonus tracks were added on November 18, 2003, for a new USA version. In 2006, a DualDisc version of Phunk Shui was released under the title John Oates Solo – The Album, The Concert.
