You could call Keith John
Adams a troubadour for these times, if that didn't make him sound
absolutely ghastly. Former singer of the much-missed-by-a-chosen-few
Zuno Men, this latest solo release is filled with effortless songs
that you feel pour from Keith's guitar like sand from an escapee's
trousers. His voice on the poppier songs has that London suburban
twang that suggests he's a bit of a lovable rogue without being
some kind of mockney horror story. While on a quieter moment such
as "In Love" it has that palms-outward honesty that you can't help
falling for. He also manages to make whistling seem cool. And his
tunes flit between frantic guitar "chuggers", delicate almost baroque
finger-picking, shambling marching band pop, and exubrant piano
knees-ups. No one else could get away with declaring themselves
a sex pest and leave you smiling. More.
