Johnny Adams - Man Of My Word Audio Cassette Release Date: August 18, 1998
Adams kept cranking out solo albums for the Rounder imprint and this one was the ninth such effort, finding him in tip-top shape vocally and in full command of his consummate powers. In addition to top-notch new material from Dan Penn ("It Ain't the Same Thing"), Carson Whitsett ("Bulldog Break His Chain"), Bobby Charles ("I Don't Want to Know") and Jonnie Barnett ("Going Out of My Mind Sale"), Adams takes on William Bell's "You Don't Miss Your Water," Brook Benton's "Looking Back" and Percy Sledge's "It Tears Me Up." Closing out the album is a duet with Aaron Neville on the gospel chestnut "Never Alone."
September 14,'98 was a sad day for the friends of Johnny Adams. The world lost one of the greatest blues and soul singers, ever. When he recorded this wonderful album, it seemed that he had won the fight against cancer. 'Man Of My Word' will stand as his musical legacy. He went back to his roots, to straight-forward New Orleans style blues and r&b, no jazz, no 'late-night-feel'. This is the blues in its purest urban form, performed with itensity. Just beautiful and absolutely essential!
