REVIEWS

Solid album
author: Jerome Barthelemy
Another Terry Robb disciple releases an album. Adam album is in many ways similar to Aric Riley. Fingerpicking country blues that owes a lot to Mr. Hurt. I do hear a lot of Big Bill Broonzy in Adam's work as well, and that's always a good thing in my book. Looking forward to seeing what Adam releases in the future.

Album gives a great examples of Adam, the guitarist, rhythimist & songwriter

No Sun Around Blues has a great mix of acoustic blues well presented. The artist, has choosen instrumentals with dynamically powerful fingerstyles and rhythms! Adam's own songs, both instrumental and vocals, will entice the listener to keep an eye on this performer, for "good" measure.
