Sixes and Sevens by Adam Green

Released: Mar 18 2008

There’s areason that you should listen to this album with an open mind. There’s a reasonyou should set aside everything you might know about the person who made it andpretend you have no idea who he is.

Adam Green might justsurprise you with this record. He’s been making music since he was 14 yearsold, beginning as co-founder of The Moldy Peaches, whose music can mostrecently be heard on the soundtrack for the hit film Juno. With each recorded output over the years, Adam’smusic has progressed and grown. Maybe the progression was small at times, andmaybe the change was not always noticeable by the new listener, but theevolution on his upcoming fifth album, Sixes & Sevens is very significant. 

Sixes &Sevens takes influencefrom a variety of sources…Nashville honky-tonk, bagels, Don Cherry, a gospelchoir, Bonnie & Clyde, Sly & The Family Stone, Exile On Main Street, Dr. John, chinese food, LosAngeles/palm trees and more. It’s the sound of an artist taking in the things around him for inspiration. 

Before the recording of this album began, Adam took a trip to Nashville for another project he was working on, and during that time he was hanging out in honky-tonks, and spending time with some old-school musicians and producers –letting their history soak into him and influence his ideas for his own record. 

Maybe it was that countrified laid-back time that allowed Adam’s singing voice on thisrecord to be much more chilled and delicate. Sixes & Sevens has a mellow charm all its own."It's kind of inviting I think," says Adam, "I wanted to make an album that you could play in a car and drive across country, and it would be like a road trip album."
