NASHVILLE, Tenn. Average Joes Entertainment recording artist Adam Wakefield will release his debut, 12-track, full-length album, Gods & Ghosts, November 30, 2018. Produced by Wakefield and Scotty Murray, “Gods & Ghosts” is available for pre-order here.
From the poignant and vulnerable title track to the soulful, upbeat “Breaking Strings,” the album shows a side of Wakefield he doesn’t often yield to fans.
“I picked twelve of my best songs, called up three of my favorite musicians, and recorded the album I have been waiting my whole life for,” said Wakefield. “This is the first time I’ve had complete freedom to record the songs I wanted, in whatever way I wanted. The process was scary, but so rewarding. There’s a long list of people that have supported this record and put their faith in me to produce something extraordinary, and I truly believe we did the songs justice. This record represents the truest version of me.”
The album features three singles released earlier this year – “As Good As It Gets,” “Dry Days” and “Cheap Whiskey & Bad Cocaine,” plus nine other tracks – all written or co-written by Wakefield.
“The roots-music community’s newest renaissance man,” (Rolling Stone), Wakefield first turned heads after a run on NBC’s The Voice, where superstar Blake Shelton said of the singer, “It’s guys like you that get me so excited about the future of Nashville.” His first post-show release, single “Blame It On Me,” quickly garnered over 1 million streams on Spotify.
