"It's really cool to have the music surround me all the time living in Nashville, " Adam says. "I feel really comfortable with the people that I've met. I've become friends with these guys, and the songs are born out of that camaraderie."

One of the songs created from Adam's songwriting circle is his first stateside single, "Crazy Days." The tune hits home with Adam, who often finds himself away from those he loves for long stretches.

"It's about a guy that's really busy, like me, who has to go out on the road," Adam explains. "He makes a promise to the girl that he's with that, 'I'm going to come back for you. He makes that promise, and they go out to that place they met -- back to the crazy days when they laid a blanket out on the beach, and first fell in love."

As heard on "Crazy Days," one of Adam's greatest assets as an artist is his distinctive vocal style. As the rest of the album unfolds, Adam covers a wide range of emotions with ease, from the intimate confessions made to a new lover in "Then She Cried" to the call to blow off steam from a hard work week in "Get it While the Gettin's Good."

"I've always had a gravelly, deep voice," says Adam. "Even when I was a little kid, it was high but had a husky tone to it. Through the years, my voice has matured. It's gotten stronger. I feel like I'm coming into my own with the songs I'm singing and the way I'm singing them."

Adam's desire to make music burns bright on this album and he's quick to give credit to the spark that lit that flame on songs such as "What Would Jesus Do" and the transcendent look at the end of life with "When I Get There." In fact, he says it's the fuel for his entire musical career.

"I believe God put me on this earth to sing," Adam admits, "He's blessed me with a gift, and I'm just so honored to share it with people. The important thing is that people understand I'm telling my story on this album. I've had more creative control on this project than ever before. Looking back on these songs, I can say without a doubt, 'This is me'." (02/08)
