The West Virginia wildman shows the other side of his talent, tackling a batch of early country standards and quirky originals in his usual one-man-band style. As far removed from modern country as you can get,
Adkins originals like "Gonna Have Me a Yard Sale," "Song of Death," "Of Course Not," "Leaves of Autumn," and "Tomorrow I'll Still Be Loving You" sit alongside
Bill Monroe's "I Hear a Sweet Voice Calling," Hank Williams' "You Win Again," and
Johnny Cash's "I Still Miss Someone" for a roughcut set that's rife with high and lonesome charm. ~ Cub Koda
