I love Chuck. Seriously. I read Chuck Dauphin’s stuff from MusicNewsNashville.com every single day. He shits out CD reviews like nobody’s business. He must listen to music 23 hours out of the day and it amazes me that he never runs out of words. Hell, I have LITERALLY been staring at my LSM column for the past 2 days and I can’t seem to wrap it up. Damn those real writers.
Where was I? Oh…I saw Adam Hood tweet this article from Billboard.com and discovered that Chuck wrote it too! He’s everywhere. Anyway, he likes Adam Hood so that makes me like him more. We should all get together for a cocktail sometime.
Anywhoo…apparently Chuck also does this whole “615″ column thing on the Billboard website. He’s unstoppable. (Oh, 615 is Nashville’s area code. I knew that…because I am hip.)
The critics have been buzzing over the past few months, and with good reason, about the music of Adam Hood. The Alabama native has been receiving a lot of attention due to his musically diverse album “The Shape Of Things.” Hood said that this is the type of attention he likes.
”I can’t explain how good that makes me feel,” said Hood. “This is the second studio album that I’ve released, and probably the fifth album in a chain. Going through it, you always want to be true to yourself and your music, art, and craft. You also want to be true to the people that come out and see you, and you never know what is going to happen. I never know if people are going to say ‘This album is terrible.’ So, anytime I can get a good pat on the back, I’ll take it.”
Hood was recently in Music City filming a new music video. He was quick to share the details with Billboard.com.
“Today’s shoot was for the second single from the record, ‘Hell Of A Fight.’ The premise of the video was to kind of take my struggle and my fight and intermingle it with footage of a girl who is a waitress, and we also used a guy who was at Home Depot, and a guy who worked in a garage — struggles that we all go through, to be honest with you with the fight of just trying to make a buck, and trying to support your family. We just tried to show the struggle of what we all go through.”
