Adam Fears - You Get Me
- Adam Fears’ “You Get Me” is an album that mixes country and true blue rock and roll into one kickin’ collection of songs. While attending Texas A & M University, Fears formed the Brazos Valley Band with his best friends, culminating in the band sharing the stage with some very famous entertainers. “You Get Me” has an amalgamation of musicians primed and ready to give listeners a blast of country rock that is not to be missed. With Lee Gibson on rhythm guitar, Greg “Fiddler” Holt on the fiddle, Johnny Stanton on bass and Scott Metko on drums, Adam Fears will blow listeners away with their combination of rock and country.
The first song has a rock guitar vibe and heavy drumming comes in later on in the intro to really start things off. The male vocalist then kicks the song into high gear as he sings about things an ordinary guy does to relax. “If you got a blue collar job…If you got mud on your boots…If every Friday night you go to your favorite watering hole. You get me, what I’m all about. I like to get a little loud, sing a little louder, honky tonk rock and roll.” This is a feel good song for any listener who knows what it is like to come home from work and want to just unwind.
The second song begins with simple guitar strumming, which makes for a straightforward and pleasing rhythm. Then drum work brings a downhome vibe to the song as the vocalist goes on about an escapade that he and his friend undertook. “I put some holes in a small town stop sign as we watched it fly right by…We loaded it up in the back of this truck…Then, the lights went out. We were long gone when the cops got there. That’s how it goes in the middle of nowhere… As the midnight air filled up with red and blue…Then, the lights went out.”
The sixth song has powerful guitar and drum play in the intro, which coincides with the message of the track. The vocalist goes on about the free-wheeling he and his friends engaged in during their younger days. “17, runnin’ free. It was all we could do to stay out of trouble and we weren’t too good at that. We were too young to get into the bars…We were drivin’ fast and lovin’ slow. You couldn’t tell us anything we didn’t already know…Livin’ large in a small town. New wings gettin’ off the ground…Back when the world was 17.” It sounds like the vocalist is reminiscing about a fabulous time in his life where he was carefree and did things his way.
“You Get Me,” from Adam Fears, is a record that will give listeners a boost of adrenaline with a country and rock swirl. Every song tells a story, chronicling what life is like in a small town.
