American singer-songwriter-guitarist Adam Douglas (1981) was born and raised in Oklahoma. In 2008 he moved to Norway and settled in Harestua in 2017. His debut album 'I May Never Learn' was released in 2015 . In 2016, Douglas won the Baltic Song Contest in Karlshamn and in 2017 the Stjernekamp music competition on NRK. For his 4th album ' Better Angels ' from 2021, he wins the Spellemann Prize in the blues class.
'Dancing For The Moon', Adam Douglas' new album, was released at the beginning of November. He is accompanied on this album by a large number of excellent Norwegian musicians.
The opening song, Wish I Had Not Said That, a song by JJ Cale from 1981, is sung in a nice, laidback way by Douglas. The beautiful bass tones are from Manus Reksjø . The tempo increases in Stop, Drop And Roll , which features fantastic music from the Norwegian musicians.
The singing is exuberant in Plenty Of Time, None To Waste. Mari Birgitte Bølgen Halvorsen 's violin and Thor-Erik Fjellvang 's Wurlitzer are also pleasant to the ear. True Blue is a relaxed song with a tight rhythm section and the backing vocals of Charlotte Bredesen .
Déja Rendezvous , with a psychedelic intro, is a wonderful country song, mainly due to the duo vocals of Douglas and Solveig Slettahjell . The singing is strong and the accompaniment is excellent again in the mid-tempo He'll Be Alright. I Need A Cigarette is solid(er) with that tight rhythm section and a beautiful guitar solo.
Douglas' duo singing with Christel Alsos is beautiful in We're All The Way, written by Don Williams. In the exciting Maybe Someday the beautiful harmonies of Charlotte Bredesen and Lars Andreas Aspesaeter stand out. In the soulful Closer To You , Douglas proves once again that he is an excellent singer.
Conclusion:
'Dancing For The Moon' is a beautiful album by a great singer.
