Artistfacts:
| He has been labeled a "new Dylan" and "the Kurt Cobain of alt-country." Like both, he claims he doesn't want stardom. |
| He first gained notoriety as the singer-guitarist for the North Carolina band Whiskeytown. |
| He recorded his first solo album with the help of some friends like Gillian Welch, Steve Earlem and Emmylou Harris. That album earned him more friends, like Elton John. |
| Adams makes a policy of stopping his recording at midnight. This allows him plenty of time to go out to bars before last call. |
| His first influence as a writer was Edgar Allen Poe. By the time he became a teenager, he was very into Jack Kerouac. |
| He used to buy CDs based on what band T-shirts his favorite skateboarders wore. |
| Before Whiskeytown, his first band was called the Patty Duke Syndrome. Patty Duke was an actress who won an Oscar in 1962 for her appearance as Helen Keller in The Miracle Worker. She briefly had her own TV show, called the Patty Duke Show. |
