Adams County Banjo - Tom Adams

Advantages: its a LIVE blink 182 album!
Disadvantages: dont let the rents' hear it

...The Mark Tom and Travis show was a one off mini tour of the US. The Album is a mixture of tracks from Enema Of The State, Dude Ranch and Cheshire Cat all performed live (obviously). The track listing is as follows; Dumpweed Don’t Leave Me Aliens Exist Family Reunion – (Very funny) Going Away to College What’s my age again? Rich Lips Blew Job –(funny!) Untitled Voyeur Pathetic Adam’s Song Peggy Sue Wendy Clear Carousel All The Small Things Mutt The County Song Dammit – (classic!) Man Overboard –(recorded in the studio) Followed by 30ish bonus tracks featuring Mark and Tom doing what they do best! If you are easily offended then don’t buy this album. In-between each track Mark and Tom banter on about sex, masturbation, incest and getting an audience of 15000 people to scream... Read review

Advantages: Great stuff
Disadvantages: Hearts breaking can be messy and depressing

Adams is obviously the primary voice on this CD, he also plays both the acoustic and electric guitars , the harmonica , the piano and the banjo as well as being responsible for most of the material. But he also has an eclectic brood of collaborators ...

(Argument with David Rawlings concerning Morrisey) This is a strangely endearing dialogue that lasts for a few seconds... Read review

Advantages: strong songs
Disadvantages: could have been more varied

...Bryan Adams has been making albums for an age now and you worry if anything he releases will represent anything significantly different to warrant a purchase. This album is certainly more of the same from Adams, and as such nothing really stands out but all the songs are good and easy to listen to. The very familiar soft rock style is evident throughout, but Adams does add a greater element of pop making a lot of the tunes that more catchier for example in the excellent ?When You?re Gone? with Mel C. There are also a fair number of slower moving ballads in line with Adams previous work such as ?Cloud Number Nine? and the soothing ?Inside Out.? This is another good album from Adams, not outstanding, but he shows that he still knows how to make music.... Read review
