Peter Bradley Adams sings those kind of soft, country-folk songs that fill the spaces in my soul that James Taylor used to fill. No, he doesn’t sound like him in the least. This isn’t a comparison to that once great artist. Peter Bradley Adams is all on his own a wonderful folk singer and a tenderhearted lyricist. My ears prick up at each phrase, excited with what will come. Yeah, the stories are that good, the delivery that pleasing. This singer/songwriter has admittedly slipped under my radar with his debut, self-titled, EP and his first LP, Gather Up. I’m onto him now though, and even late to the party on Leavetakng, I can feel that this one will be with me still by the end of this year when I’m deciding on my best of list. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it to his show last night at Uncommon Ground, so if you did catch him let me know! I’m hoping he comes back to Chicago soon. I’m simply captivated by his latest album. Go get it now if you, like me, love beautiful guitar work and probing lyrics you will want this album. The song they are promoting, “Always” is a bit TV show-ready but go over to his MySpace for more, I must say, better songs that showcase his talent….buy Leavetaking here. Oh and I should mention he was formerly half of eastmountainsouth, if you ever followed that duo, xoxo
