King, Bonnie Raitt, Keb\u2019 Mo\u2019, Dr. John, Grateful Dead\u2019s Jerry Garcia, and many others, proudly presents his brand new studio album. His first new release since 2009\u2019s Stomp The Floor, Look What The Blues Has Done For Me is Adams\u2019 debut with Cleopatra Blues, the LA-based imprint that also includes the Grammy nominated bluesman Kenny Neal alongside James Montgomery, Leo Bud Welch, Reverend KM Williams and more. With this new album, Adams proves that the blues only gets better with age as Adams and his band bring the goods on 13 new compositions including the standout tracks \u201cHelpin\u2019 Hand Man,\u201d the gospel-tinged \u201cIf You Let Me Love You\u201d and the phenomenal title track!    <!--more-->  <\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Adams says, \u201cMy goal on this CD was to record the best blues songs I could write and be sure that I feature my guitar and vocals. I did not want a big production, as I listen to some of the older blues artists, such as B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James and others, many times they only had a four or five-piece band. That\u2019s what I\u2019m aiming for, on Look What The Blues Has Done For Me.\u00a0My style, my sound.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1503414471323_52835\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">To celebrate the career of this extraordinary blues troubadour, the new album includes a full-length bonus disc of tracks from Adams\u2019 \u201870s LPs, none of which have ever been made available on CD! PLUS the jazz-funk dance single \u201cYou Got The Floor,\u201d which went to #1 on the UK Disco Chart in 1981!<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-bottom: 0in;\">Catch Adams performing at the KJAZZ Hollywood Blues Bash in the historic Ford Theatre on September 9!
