Album Notes

"Adams' instrumental interpretations of traditional Christmas fare are simple, peaceful, and evocative.. serene meditative acoustic melodies that avoid the usual holiday vices"

"These traditional songs are a unique yuletide decoration of sound that deeply touches the heart."

Paul Adams music is quite varied. He has 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, and now he releases his sixth CD, THIS CHRISTMAS.

Although his albums range from World, Jazz, New Age, and Electronic, THIS CHRISTMAS showcases his acoustic side. The purpose of the project was to create an "acoustic ambience" gentle in mood utilizing Guitars, Mandolin, Dulcimer, and Native American Flute. With a nod of similarity to his critically acclaimed album A VIEW FROM THE PLAIN, Adams paints a drifting and warm Holiday Vision that will burn in the hearth of Christmas fires for many years to come.
