music fan needs music education.......2006-03-29

a wonderful disc you should never be without, however statements that resemble-" better than REK, Townes, and Buddy Holly" are patently absurd. adam carroll is a great texas artist that definitely doesn't get an iota of the credit he deserves, I might compare him to REK (on a long shot). however when the Beatles appear on Ed Sullivan and ask in amazement-"was this the same stage that Buddy Holly played on?" it helps you realize the landscape change that some artists can make happen. but opinions are opinions, different strokes for different folks. in any case.........buy this album

Diamond in the Rough.......2006-03-24

Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is an underground Texas singer-songwriting legend in the making. A bold statement, true, but Adam Carroll justifies it and then some with this great release. Quietly and humbly, Adam lays down some of the finest folk bluegrass you'll hear anywhere. More than just another name in the sea of Americana upstarts, Carroll's music breathes pure American down-home spirit and back-porch storytelling. Without ever having met him, this album brings his personal style of songwriting and playing to you as if he were playing in your own backyard. Tongue-in-cheeck wit, an earnest appreciation of contemporary traditionalism, and a healthy smattering of romance is laid down with the perfect balance of worldy maturity and small-town naivite, making this disc - and Carroll as a whole - something you'll find yourself coming back to for more and more. I can't give this release enough stars.

Great album---great songwriter.......2005-09-15

This is a great album by Adam Carroll, a Texas songwriter in the veins of Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark or even John Prine...clever wordplay (Legs,Snow-Cone-Man), poignant observations (Race-Car Joe and humor (Screen Door, Ol Milwaukees Best, Legs again) all help shape this album...
It's just the guy and a guitar and seems as if he's just whipping an old piece of paper out've his gig bag and playin' the next song on the list for a group of friends and the first 6, really all of them, just go by so smooth that, on a first listen, one may think they're listening to someone they've known for years... Adam Carroll is a 30 year old Guy Clark, and this album from several years back is already a classic on my shelve---

Ol'style wordsmith.......2002-11-09

Adam Carroll plays Texas folk music with witty, intelligent lyrics that bring John Prine to mind. What you get here is an acoustic guitar, some accordian, a steel guitar, and harmanica. No drums or bass, just a guy, a couple of friends and his sense of humour. The reason you don't hear too many artist's like this is because there's not many who can pull off this stuff anymore. You gotta be a natural. Exellent disc.

Down-Home Charm.......2002-01-11

This is a fine CD, on which Adam overcomes the production of the absurdly overrated Lloyd Maines. Maines is smart enough here to stay mostly out of the way, which results in a very personal release. "Amanda's Song," "Rosemary's Song," and "Girl with the Dirty Hair" all shine here, and "Mr. Sno-Cone Man" can't help but draw smiles with each listen. This little-known singer-songwriter deserves a listen, and if he frees himself of Maines, he could really go places.
