MySpace Artist Of The Week: Jerry Adams

I was referred to Jerry Adams’ MySpace profile by Brody when it came to writing this week’s MySpace Artist of the Week feature. After a quick glance at his profile, I noticed Jerry Adams considers himself country. Not repackaged pop, not rock, just good ol’ country. A quick listen to his music confirms that he sure enough is what he claims he is. There isn’t much information to be found about Jerry, other than a Robert K. Oermann review that says:

I know absolutely nothing about Jerry Adams other than the fact that he’s one fantastic singer. When you track him down, tell him he’s a Music Row DisCovery Award winner.

JERRY ADAMS/Haggard State Of Mind
–The lyric name-checks such Hag hits as “The Running Kind,” “Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down,” “Sing Me Back Home,” “Misery and Gin,” “Daddy Frank,” “Carolyn,” “Silver Wings,” “Mama Tried,” “Are the Good Times Really Over” and “Yesterday’s Wine.” Believe it or not, he manages to weave them into a story. And what’s even better is that he’s a wonderfully expressive honky-tonk singer fronting a note-perfect honky-tonk band. For a shot of real country music, slap this one into your playlist.

Jerry has a few albums under his belt from the mid 90s and not much since then. On January 30, he is set to release the album that Oermann references above. Go check out Jerry’s MySpace profile and let us know if you like his sound.
