The Trouble with Adam

Description

The Trouble with Adam is an album by the British folk group Exordium, released in the UK on Face To Face Music in 1972.

Adorable British folk LP with strumming 12-string acoustic sound and delicate male/female harmonies. Very simple, pure, understated approach with just guitars, bass, tambourine, and plenty of excitement and charm. Exordium has written a good deal of their own material – «Revolution Man», «Mary Dry Those Crying Eyes», «Subway», «People All Around», several others. The songs included that are remakes («Put Your Hand In The Hand», «Jesus Met The Woman», «Glory Glory») sound refreshing in their distinctively British interpretation. They even put a jamming folk twist on Gershwin’s «Summertime». Great band name. Great title. Great black and white cover photo of an apple core. A great album!
