Review: Live at Cornerstone by Adam Again

By Matt Crosslin

ADAM AGAIN
LIVE AT CORNERSTONE
2000 M8 Music
2001 Galaxy 21 Music
Review by: Matt Crosslin
There are two versions of this live tribute show floating around out there – both pretty much out of print. The original version was released by M8 records as a three disc set. It included live sets from 1995 and 1997 as [...]

Review: Perfecta by Adam Again

By Matt Crosslin

ADAM AGAIN
PERFECTA
1995 Brainstorm
Review by: Matt Crosslin
Perfecta is the rawest and (at times) loudest Adam Again disc. One reviewer even called it “the book of Job of music.” This would be a very apt description. Gene’s voice is pretty desperate at places here – whether he is asking himself what to do when [...]

Review: Dig by Adam Again

By Matt Crosslin

ADAM AGAIN
DIG
1992 Brainstorm
Review by: Matt Crosslin
This is where it started for me with Adam Again… the first album of theirs that I ever heard. This album, along with L.S.U.’s The Grape Prophet and Pray Naked by The 77s, also helped me transition from a diehard metal-head punk to a person with well-rounded musical tastes. [...]

Review: Homeboys by Adam Again

By Steve Ruff

ADAM AGAIN
HOMEBOYS
1990 Broken Records
Review by: Steve Ruff
This is one of my favorite records that Adam Again did. With each release these guys grew as a band and you can hear the depth come through on every release. Again, for me, Gene’s lyrics were always genius. The songs that he chose to cover really conveyed [...]

Review: Ten Songs by Adam Again

By Steve Ruff

ADAM AGAIN
TEN SONGS
1988 Broken Records
2002 Lo-Fidelity Records
Review by: Steve Ruff
Ten Songs was originally released in 1988, and then re-released in 2002 through Lo-Fidelity Records. A definite classic that is probably the hardest to find anywhere. While still recorded with programmed drums, this record was a definite step away from their first release. Ten songs just [...]

Review: In a New World of Time by Adam Again

By Steve Ruff

ADAM AGAIN
IN A NEW WOLD OF TIME
1986 Blue Collar Records
Review by: Steve Ruff
The first release by the band who would become a staple in alternative Christian music. This is by far the most varied record that AA put out. Dating all the way back to 1986… but it was still unique and different for its [...]

Review: Prayers & Lowsongs by Greg Lawless

By Steve Ruff

GREG LAWLESS
PRAYERS & LOWSONGS
2000 Galaxy 21 Music
Purchase: eBay
Review by: Steve Ruff
Greg Lawless is perhaps best known as the guitar player in Adam Again, but this solo effort was completely different from what you heard from him in the band. Lawless actually recorded this solo album before Gene Eugene passed away in 2000. It wasn’t released [...]

Coming Soon To A Jazz Trio Near You?
Story by Steve Ruff

Talking to Greg Lawless was really cool. He is by far one of the most gracious guys that I have been able to speak with, and he was extremely nice and very eager to help out in any way that he could. [...]
