The tapestry of Southern music in America is rich, vivid, and diverse, and Adam Hood is an artist who embodies this substantial musical lineage each time he straps on his Telecaster or picks up his pen. Rooted in his Opelika, Alabama upbringing, Hood’s musicality and soul-stirring lyrics are guided by the wisdom earned from thousands of miles spent on the road chasing musical adventures from coast to coast.Adam Hood’s deep yearning to share his take on country music has led him to craft a sound uniquely his own, what he calls “Southern songs.” It’s a soulful and profound version of the genre that blends elements of assorted styles, reflecting the authenticity of Southern culture and the way he grew up. “It’s Southern music,” Hood relates. “The soulful side of Southern music, the country side of Southern music, the genuineness of Southern culture, it’s what I’ve always done.”Though Hood initially made waves as a performer, it’s his songwriting that has truly set him apart over the past decade. An impressive roster of artists, including Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Whiskey Myers, Cody Jinks, Travis Tritt, and Riley Green, have recorded Hood’s songs, adding a new layer to his formidable career. Yet, his own recorded and touring output remains a vital part ofthe broader country music landscape.Hood’s 2022 album Bad Days Betterwas recorded at the famed Capricorn Studios in Macon, Georgia, with Brent Cobb at the helm. The historic studio’s halls, once inhabited by legends like Otis Redding, The Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band, and Charlie Daniels, helped Cobb and Hood guide this project. Released independently by Hood, Bad Days Betterweaves his present day among the echoes of his heroes and biggest influences, creating a sound, style, and moment that isall his own.The album features an exceptional cast of collaborators, including Brit Turner, Richard Turner, and Charlie Starr of Blackberry Smoke, with background vocals singularly provided by Miranda Lambert. This deeply personal collection of songs reflects Hood’s journey through life’s hills and valleys, with lyrics that are raw, honest, and vulnerable. “I speak more than I want to sometimes,” he admits. “It makes me nervous to play it because I know it’s a vulnerable moment.” But it’s this vulnerability that adds another layer to the Southern musical story Hood continues to write.Following the Bad Days Betteralbum, Hood released his most recent album, Different Groove,produced by Gordy Quist at The Finishing School in Austin, Texas. This album further solidified his reputation as a versatile artist who can seamlessly blend various Southern sounds into a cohesive and compelling narrative.In 2024, Hood teamed up with Brent Cobb yet again to release four digital singles: “Beat That Train,” “Bills in Alabama,” “Here to Tell Ya,” and “Stage Lights.” These songs showcase his dynamic storytelling and his ability to connect with audiences through vivid, heartfelt lyrics and authentic Southern soundscapes.Adding to his list of accomplishments, Adam Hood celebrated his first #1 in Texas with “Can’t Stand Leavin’,” and in October 2022, he made his Grand Ole Opry debut, a milestone that underscores his growing influence in the country music world. He has also recently recorded songs with Ella Langley and Miranda Lambert, showcasing his ability to collaborate with some of the industry's top talents.Adam Hood will always be found where there’s a stage, sharing his version of country music. The essence, emotion, spirit, and institution of Southern music reside in Hood’s soul. He will continue to write, perform, and share that mastery with his audience for years to come. “Music should get under your skin and make you think and make you feel,” he exclaims. “Some people get what I’m saying, some don’t. I want to say what I feel and hope others feel the same way.”
