Critiques of
et al. |
|
"...a songwriter of
exceptional talent and perception. I expect him to make a serious impact
on the pop charts or on Broadway..."
-- Charles M. Young,
Executive Editor, Musician Magazine |
|
"…a uniquely gifted
composer. His songs are powerful, perceptive, even provocative… a
sensitive and intelligent performer. This is music everyone should
hear."
-- Mike Stoller, Songwriter/Producer, Leiber & Stoller |
|
"...articulate,
clear-thinking... with something to say... the
U2-school-of-conviction... songs with sincerity... excellent singers
[with] great tonal quality and not a bum note among them."
-- The Music Paper |
|
"Look out, Whitney
Houston."
-- Toronto Star (on
Wendy Boulding) |
|
"Sophisticated"
-- Betty Comden & Adolph Green,
Librettists (on Let It Go) |
|
"Ambitious"
-- Gary Katz, Producer for Steely Dan (on ver bal o sis) |
|
"Awesome... really great,
hooky melodies."
-- Amy Lennard, Singer/Songwriter/Guitarist |
|
"Stand Up has such quiet power, I keep expecting it to be
snatched up as a banner by all the world's dispossessed. This anthem for
the mentally ill may be the most concise and convincing evidence of
Adam's consummate gift as a songwriter. Listen to the way he sets up the
simple grace of the song proper with the desperate, defiant harmonies in
the intro and bridge. Simple, solid and wide open, Walls Start
Falling is as inspirational and supportive as a writer or singer
could ever hope for. I think more singers we know have asked to do this
song than any other."
-- Peter Stoller, Singer/Songwriter/Producer |
|
"Great stuff!
Remarkable quality and consistency for mastering
material from so many sessions and situations."
-- Jonathan Keezing, Guitarist/Songwriter, Passion
Records

"He
cites Gentle Giant as an important
influence, including on his CD
et al. -- specifically the song ver
bal o sis, whose GG elements are
evident."
-- The
Official Gentle Giant Website ("Music
by Gentle Giant Fans")
