Jason Adamo’s new CD will make friends of us all

Several years ago, this reviewer took his then-girlfriend (and now wife) Chelle to see Alan Jackson at the Pacific Amphitheatre.  The opening act that night was a new band called the Zac Brown Band.  The excitement he felt that night is akin to what he’s feeling after his first listen to the new CD …And Friends by the Jason Adamo Band.

Adamo has crafted a masterpiece that should launch him and his band into the stratosphere of mainstream music.  He wrote or co-wrote all but one of the seven tracks and has put together a team of musicians that are highly skilled in their craft, including Mark McKee, who mixed, mastered, produced and engineered this masterpiece.

From start to finish, this is a CD you can put on repeat and listen to over and over.  Although every song is amazing, this reviewer’s favorite track is “Let Go,” with its incredible musicianship and a Keith Urban influenced sound.  This song could launch the band and belongs on country radio now.

“Game of Love” has a Lumineers feel to it, and is probably the second best song on the CD, followed closely by the first track, “Beautiful Believer.”  “Believer” was a co-write with Brett Young, and Adamo’s performance brings out all the beauty of the tune.

Another worthy cut is “Oliver,” which Adamo wrote about his sister’s adopted son.  The truth is that there are no bad cuts on this CD, and it should appeal to all true music lovers.

We are proud to highly recommend this CD and encourage all music lovers to call their local stations and demand they play the Jason Adamo Band.
