Blake has just completed an album called Mr Adams' Blues, recorded at Riverland studios in Valhermosa, Alabama. It is a full band production on which he plays all the instruments save drums, and one that gives nods to some of his favorite artists. It is the product of years of life, love, longing and heartbreak, recorded on cassette tapes, "reams of notebook paper and a veritable grocery aisle of restaurant napkins". It recalls the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel, with a touch of AC/DC and Led Zeppelin. The drums were played by local pal and multi-instrumentalist James Irvin on most of the album, with Nashville's Tom Drennan handling the drums on one track, a rocker called Straight and True.
