Product Details
by Peorian Paul Adams
In The Land Where I Come From is Adams' first vocal album (An interesting irony being it's his primary instrument.) that brings beat, song, and poetry together with "bop" and mysticism. The range runs from jazz to etherial Tibet, and offers one a sense of swing and hope, that runs through time and space. Dave Hoffman blows an absolutely phenomenal trumpet over Adams' scat poem " I Wanna Dance" and Kit Watkins' (From Happy The Man and Camel) magical solo on the tune " Cowboy" (Adams' "ode" to old progressive rock masters ) is like an elf on ice skates. Other guests include Dr. Kyle Gregory who also blew some great horn, Doug Knecht on mandolin , and Mark Smith on drums and percussion.
"Adams has some of the classiest and most stylish and enduring instrumental albums around. He's been toying with a vocal album for some time and In The Land Where I Come From is well worth the wait.. The temperature is cool and poetic. The restraint, the singular focus has the contained power of a race horse being led to the starting gate, or the way one's heart races long after the dream!" - Carol Wright, New Age Voice Magazine
