How the Music Critic Score works
Steven Adams started Singing Adams after his old group, the Broken Family Band, broke up. Good Luck, the second song on this second album, could be a spirited defence of his former combo's failure to turn cult success into a means of giving up day jobs. "Damn their eyes!" he sings in the faces of foes real or imagined, before insisting that being "blindsided" by everyday existence hasn't harmed his determination to "start again instead of giving up".
Never stating the obvious, an album that is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. Jude Clarke 2012 Singing Adams is the current project from Steven Adams, formerly of mickey-taking turned actually-really-good Cambridge country and western outfit The Broken Family Band. Following last year’s debut Everybody Friends Now, the four-piece (Adams joined by Matthew Ashton on guitar, Melinda Bronstein on drums and Michael Wood on bass) returns with album number two.
