Terry Allen showed Adam that songs could be weird and true all at the same time and that hint of inspiration lingers on each and every album that Adam makes today. She often appears with him at his "Down-Home Song Swaps" show where songwriters get together and play each other's songs so that audiences can get a different feel for the music.

He has risen from the dreaded no-name status in the business, to opening for the likes of Todd Snider, Little Feat, Charlie Robison, and Lucinda Williams, who all have an immense appreciation for the music he performs and writes.

Adam's songs range from sounding bluesy to folksy and the lyrics are spread out into a wide array of topics. Some of the most frequent are love and outcasts which always make for a great country tune. With comparisons being made between Adam and legend John Prine, things can only be looking up for this Texas jewel.

Full Albums Adam Carrol; Has Released:

• "South of Town"
• "Lookin' Out The Screen Door"
• "Live At Cheatham Street"
