Adams County Banjo CD
"Tom Adams is among the precious few banjo pickers who can blend the most melodic of rolls with the flashiest, straight-ahead power licks. In short, he does it all."

Sing Out! Magazine
"This album will undoubtedly broaden people's perception of the creative breadth of Tom's music."
– Ian Perry,
Banjo Newsletter
from the notes by Tony Trischka —
"The Right Hand Man returns, and this is very good news for banjo players of every hue and stripe, as well as all lovers of exquisitely crafted acoustic music.
From straight-ahead bluegrass to poignant ballads to Celtic to blues, this music evinces originality, solidity, and emotion.
A man who is never satisfied, Adams is always looking for the indefinable and unreachable top of the banjo mountain, always searching for the perfect solo. Adams County Banjo is as close to the top of the mountain as you're likely to get. It's a masterpiece."
