Album Notes

Paul Adams music is quite varied from acoustic instruments (Dulcimer, Acoustic Guitar, Dobro, Mandolin.), to Ethnic and exotic instruments such as Didjerido, Percussion, Synthesizers, Banjos and Sitar. Leo Kottke, Adrian Legg, Michael Hedges, are influences. New Grass, Folk, Jazz Grass and New age are the colorations.

He has also been a maker of stringed instruments for many great musicians (Daryl Hall, members of Stevie Wonder etc.), A producer for Ray Charles arranger David Hoffman, a poet and writer.

His multi-genred approach has seen ELECTRONIC MUSICIAN Magazine to call his work "sophisticated and gorgeous!"


TOWER RECORDS PULSE Magazine says, "A heady blend of world fusion, willfully eclectic".

The composing range is from SERENE to FUNKY, depending on the album.

Expect the unexpected.
Then listen.

You'll hear why his albums have been acclaimed throughout the world.

Good hearted gorgeous music!
author: Steve Ryals New Age Retailer Magazine
... an excellent guitar player with sweet pure warm tone and dazzling technique! If I had to label this album, I'd call it somewhere between new age country, and semi-acoustic folk funk, but that still wouldnt do it justice. This is good hearted simply gorgeous music with humor thrown in. I so enjoy a fresh perspective and Paul has provided that in spades with A VIEW FROM THE PLAIN!

Adams is proving to be something of an under-rated and substantial artist. The guitar is offered in a completely unique way that paints an aural picture of the plains. Fans of the fingerstyle guitar in an impressionistic manner will be delighted.
