Album Review
Roots rock that leans more towards the easy listening side, which could also very well possibly appeal to the young pups due to its modern production — you could certainly say that's a fair assessment of the second full-length effort by Peter Bradley Adams, 2008's Leavetaking. In a time of popular music where an increasing amount of new releases are becoming more and more slick, it's a pleasant surprise to hear stripped down music — focusing heavily on Adams' breathy singing style and understated guitar and piano playing. This aforementioned approach that Adams specializes in is probably best sampled on the album opening ditty, "The Longer I Run," while he also offers such "late night listening" tracks as "Keep Us," and even replicates Rufus Wainwright's signature vocals (that is, if Wainwright was a guitarist rather than pianist) on "Under My Skin." Leavetaking would provide the perfect soundtrack at your favorite local coffeehouse.
Customer Reviews
A touching, heartfelt and beautiful album
Why artists such as Mr Adams aren't riding-high in the charts is beyond me (rhetorical - we all know the answer). Then again perhaps it's a good thing, because it makes discovering such an understated gem of a record all the sweeter. A little bit folk, a little bit newgrass with a roots-acoustic undertone - Leavetaking is a stunning, delicate and hugely listenable piece of work. Just check out the haunting piano refrain of Los Angeles, or the heartbroken Always - this is music to while away a summer's evening. Both uplifting and moving - buy this album now, you won't regret it. Viva la itunes - I have whiled away many pleasurable hours discovering many awesome new albums over the years (just bring your prices down a little - please!).
Lovely lyrics
Peter Bradley Adams' graceful melodies are lyrical and painfully beautiful, yet unlike many other artists of this genre, he refrains from the truly melancholy. A pleasure to listen to whilst sipping earl grey and reading books.
This is what music is
I stummbled across Adams and it sums up everything that i enjoy in music. His flawless voice is incredible, this music is something to pass your day with. Simply stunning.
