Adam Hood’s Different Groove Album Available September 22
NASHVILLE, TN – American Roots Artist Adam Hood has released the fifth single, “Buzzes Like Neon,” off his upcoming album, Adam Hood’s Different Groove which is available on September 22. Set to a punchy melody, the song is a tale of a small-town singer-songwriter traveling to gigs in cities much larger and more chaotic than he’s comfortable with, and longing for the serenity of things back home. Alabama native and Sony Music recording artist Ella Langley is featured on the track. The new music is available for streaming and download at https://go.adamhood.com/BLNel.
Circa 2005, while playing for free in the Midwest, Adam Hood was feeling homesick and wasn’t accustomed to big cities, city blocks with tall buildings at every turn. The large neon Western Auto sign atop a building in Kansas City was the inspiration for this tune.
“The idea for ‘buzzes’ came from a night in Kansas City in the middle of a long run of solo shows early in my career,” said Adam Hood. “I was missing home and could see the Western Auto sign from my motel room. That inspired the first four lines. This song has stood the test of time as well as any song in my catalog. Ella came in and gave it a really cool ‘Stevie Nicks’ feel that I love!”
“There’s a light in the city
Standin’ 5 miles high
I’m crossing that river
There’s a girl on my mind
And it’s high atop the buildings
Flashing Red
It’s just one more reason
She’s stuck in my head
And it buzzes like neon
And it makes me feel fine
the way she leads me on
It’s a real good sign…”
“Buzzes Like Neon” was co-written by Adam Hood and Stephen Moos with production by Gordy Quist. It was recorded and mixed at The Finishing School in Austin, Texas. Serving as Engineer and Mixer was Jim Vollentine, with additional engineering by Gordy Quist. Mastering was done by Chris Longwood and additional recording by Davis Nix.
Players on the single included Adam Hood (lead vocals and acoustic guitars), Richard Millsap (drums and percussion), Trevor Nealon (pianos, organs, synths), David Jimenez (lead guitar), Nick Jay (bass guitar and background vocals), Matt Tedder (additional guitar) and Gordy Quist (background vocals).
