Music Minute: Adam Hood - Adam Hood's Different Groove

 Southern songwriter and artist Adam Hood has offered fans the perfect gift to celebrate the arrival of autumn with the release of his newly-updated 2007 album, Adam Hood’s Different Groove. The blend of country, soul and American Roots music showcases Hood’s years of matured musicianship, reimagining the staples of his catalog with a fresh perspective.

The first time Adam Hood recorded Different Groove, he had never crossed the Mississippi River, much less set foot on a plane. He was very green and it took him three years of traveling to and from California to record the album. Midway through recording, he began his three-year Leon Russell adventure, opening shows for Russell’s band all over the country. Just Hood and his drummer. Like all of us, his life has changed drastically in 15 years. Professionally, his style has evolved, his guitar playing has developed, and a number of the record’s songs have taken on a life of their own. 

“After spending some time with The Band of Heathens, I felt like Gordy Quist would be the producer to give the album a new ‘groove,’ explained Adam Hood. “We recorded this version at The Finishing School, in Austin. The release of Different Groove was monumental in my career and something I’m still proud of. I hope that anyone that has a connection in time to the original version finds a home for this new version as well.”

"Songs as timelessly good as these deserved a revisiting with Adam's soulful voice and stories at the center of it all. We tried to just keep things groovy, greasy, and honest, very much like Adam's personality and hopefully creating a timeless sound to go with all the years of living now baked into these songs.," stated Producer Gordy Quist.

About Adam Hood:
The tapestry of Southern music in America is rich, vivid and diverse. Adam Hood is an artist who exudes that substantial musical lineage each time he straps on his Telecaster for a show or picks up his pen to write a song. 
Hood has carved out a career that has taken him from playing for tips acoustically in his hometown as a teenager to fronting a band on the biggest stages of roots music. Adam Hood has a yearning deep inside, a calling, to share his take on what country music should sound like. It is a soulful and profound version of the genre that mixes in elements of assorted styles to create something uniquely Adam Hood. A sound he describes as “southern songs. “It’s southern music,’ Hood relates, “The soulful side of southern music, the country side of southern music, the genuineness of southern culture, and how I grew up. It’s what I’ve always done.”
While Hood’s songwriting profile has continued to shine over the years, his own recorded and touring output has remained a vital part of the broader country music landscape. The freshly sober family man recording inside the same walls as the musical icons of his youth, the go-to songwriter of the moment when an artist wants something with grit and groove, acclaimed live performer that’s packed out thousands of venues…all of it is found in the music Hood wrote for this record. “Music should get under your skin and make you think and make you feel,” he exclaims, ”Some people get what I’m saying, some don’t. I want to say what I feel and hope others feel the same way.”
