Chris Adams - The Damage II (Back Cover)
Chris Adams - The Damage II
"The Damage" is full of emotion, actually it's bursting with it and the sorrow and sadness soon takes a firm grip on you. This man has got a voice, one of those that creep under your skin, and despite the album preferring the mid-tempo or the slow songs and employing the fiddle and mandolin as well as the electric and acoustic guitars it is a Rock record. Because it's not a complex record, theres's no complicated textures, no frilly arrangements, it's as simple as it can be, as direct as possible, as Adams avoids shallowness, avoids false pathos, he's ernest and sincere. He is a believer. Believing in the power of Rock music, universal Rock music, free from fashions and designs, Rock music that can overcome the failures of love. He's healing himself as much as he can heal us. But don't expect the new drug, the prophet, the guru. Contrary, he is as vulnerable as we are. But he has got a hold ... it has got six strings and a couple of vocal chords. And he has got hope, not like the lost traveller in the desert has hope to find a waterhole. It is hope spiritual, something that has to do with vibrations, something that the so-called primitive cultures are still experiencing, something we, stupified by civilisation, numbed by the media, crippled by politics, have long lost.

Chris Adams lyrics are easy to get, they've got to. He is singing about the basics of existence. About love. "The Damage" is telling us about the destructive power of love and negative emotions, of marks of weakness and marks of woe. It's also telling us about the strength of love and its ability to overcome.

By the way, don't hear "The Damage" in portions, take some time, play it once completely and then play it again. You'll be playing it again and again.

The Guardian
"The lazy warmth of Chris Adam's voice"

Mojo
"Chris Adams is somewhat of a recluse"
