The nine songs on this CD reach a level of beauty both in Madeline’s voice and the music
accompanying her. While still maintaining her beautiful folk style, she has also expanded to incorporate
new elements: drums, piano, bass, backing vocals, and more complete the serenity of this very enjoyable
album. But it is still undoubtedly Madeline’s voice that sets her apart from other singer/songwriters.
As clear and precise as handbells with just the slightest country twang, its haunting quality is the perfect
vehicle for her smart, sensual lyrics. Madeline Adams was raised in the vibrant music scene of Athens,
Georgia, and began performing her songs by the age of sixteen. Her 2003 Plan-It-X release Kissing and
Dancing is now in its third pressing and has earned her national recognition and a loyal fan base. To date,
she has been on eleven national tours and has been billed alongside acts like Nedelle, Jens Lekman,
Antony and the Johnsons, Robyn Hitchcock, Calvin Johnson, Tilly and the Wall, and David
Dondero.
