Being raised in southwest Louisiana with zydeco bursting out of every juke joint has given C.C. Adcock a different take on standard four-bar blues. The Lafayette-raised Adcock, a guitarist, singer, and songwriter, doesn't play straight-ahead blues; his music is heavily laden with unconventional blues-rock melodies and zydeco rhythms. The many thousands of miles he has logged touring with the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:2bmixwMZXlkl2sbIbOfviq">Bo Diddley</a> and Stanley Dural (better known as <a href="spotify:artist:31ioFU3ADV6npBP7ykNvtF">Buckwheat Zydeco</a>) show through in his playing, which is fiery, intense, and most of all, danceable.
Charles Clinton Adcock spent his teen years supporting musicians like Dural, <a href="spotify:artist:2bmixwMZXlkl2sbIbOfviq">Diddley</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:1B8vzl6kObOf1cxN4myLS1">Bobby Charles</a>, touring with them when he could. His demo tapes with British producer Tarka Cordell caught the ears of some executives at Island Records, and he was signed to a deal. Adcock recorded most of his debut album in his native Lafayette and in studios in Los Angeles, featuring local musicians like <a href="spotify:artist:2qmpfeyFFJJeOzSF6ZJ0oo">Tommy McLain</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:5jDAOFds32yPxpwhahKIU0">Warren Storm</a>. On his self-titled major-label debut for Island Records, a 1994 album, Adcock fuses a smorgasbord of styles, including Louisiana blues, zydeco, Cajun, and classic R&B into a musical gumbo that is uniquely his own. He puts his own musical stamp on songs by <a href="spotify:artist:4f9WzVkgm5FoJW8lGGmHkG">Art Neville</a> ("Fool to Care"), <a href="spotify:artist:0j4pxInmdtF4bYQj0VVpbz">Arthur Alexander</a> ("Sally Sue Brown"), and Gene Terry ("Cindy Lou"). Six years after his first album, Adcock resurfaced with a reissue of his debut, but this time around called it House Rocker. Four years later, he released Lafayette Marquis on Yep Roc. ~ Richard Skelly, Rovi
