Great condition! Thank you and it's a great cd.I bought as a gift for my fiancé. He loves blues! Great cd

If you need something with great gritty vocals and amazing guitar you will like this guy. Reminds me of the 70's when everyone played the guitar and sang. His previous album, 6th Street is one of my favorites but this one is great as well. He has a great voice and combines it with lyrics that really speak to your soul. Give it a shot. This is NOT romantic or rock music...just good stuff to listen to when you need something good to listen to.

Saw Adam as the intro act for Miranda Lambert the other day at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa. Unfortunately, they weren't selling any of his cd's at the event, but you can buy them here. I'm more of a pop or rockabilly fan than country. He really reminded me of a young Bruce Springsteen (so that's pretty good company to be in). Guess he comes from Opelika, Alabama (saw he was having a lot of tour dates in that area after disconnecting with Miranda after Des Moines). Wish him all the best on a long, successful career. He really is a professional singer!

Just got it and can't stop listening to it!!! Way to go, Adam!

Hood's been making music for the better part of a decade, having released his first album, the solo blues live set 21 to Enter back in 2001. His second full-length (he released a four-song EP in 2004) was produced and arranged by Pete Anderson and originally released in 2007 on Anderson's Little Dog label. This re-release gives the album a national re-launch, adding three acoustic takes to the ten Hood (and Hood/Anderson) originals. As might be expected with Anderson co-writing and producing, the songs don't hew to the acoustic blues of Hood's debut, and as the title suggests, there are several different grooves here. The most notable change is that Hood is now backed by a full band with Anderson picking strings, Michael Murphy on keys and a potent bass and drums rhythm section. Hood sings electric country-blues, singer-songwriter country-folk, and a country-tinged version of the adult alternative mainstream sound of John Mayer. The album's killer track is the moody country lament "Late Night Diner," with Bob Bernstein's pedal steel and Anderson's laconic electric guitar providing moving accompaniment to Hood's sorrowful song of broken hearts and broken lives. Accordion and a second-line beat give "Vornado" a toe-tapping Cajun edge and show how moving Hood sounds in rootsier settings. 3-1/2 stars, if allowed fractional ratings. [©2009 hyperbolium dot com]

All of his music is wonderful, he has a song for me to jam to every day of the week! His lyrics also touch every emotion that I have ever had.
