Johnny Adams: There is Always One More Time
ByBillington surrounded Adams with some of the finest musicians in the Crescent City and helped him choose material that accentuated the warmth and elegance in his delivery. The two collaborated on a total of nine albums, most of them excellent, at least half of them in a jazzy blues vein. This retrospective CD includes 13 tracks from all nine releases, plus a duet with Ruth Brown ("I Don't Know") and a previously unreleased Doc Pomus-Dr. John composition ("Happy Hard Times"). It's about as diverse a CD as you'll find in the blues bin, offering mellow jazz ballads, funky blues cuts, plenty of horn-fueled R&B tracks, some organ-steeped numbers, and a gorgeous gospel cover.
Adams' voice is constantly compelling on this CD, but credit also goes to the top-flight blues and jazz players who back him, including Dr. John, Aaron Neville, Harry Connick Jr., and Walter "Wolfman" Washington.
Johnny Adams was one of the classiest blues and R&B singers of all time. If you're a fan of sophisticated R&B, There Is Always One More Time belongs in your collection.
