While Adam Hood is well-known in the Texas and Red Dirt Music scene today, it all started for him in his home state of Alabama. Many musicians and songwriters in the scene harken back to a time period in their lives (that usually coincides with their college years) when playing music became a possibility for a career. Not for Adam Hood. Adam was already playing a weekly gig, paying $150, at the ripe old age of 16! So, to say he’s a veteran of this music thing is a fair assessment. I’d first been introduced to the music of Adam Hood when I ordered a Dell Computer back in 2004. Pre-loaded on to every Dell Computer that year were a handful of songs from several artists. To my good fortune, and with “A” being the first letter in the alphabet, Adam Hood and his song, “Play Something We Know” was at the top of the list. I was instantly a fan, and the rest, as they say, is history.
