Kirk Adams “Little Elevator”

A few weeks ago, I pulled a CD from the bookcase and took it to the car with me. I was in the mood to listen to something new as I traveled from here to there. Little did I know that the the second track on the CD would be spinning in my head every time I cooked a meal for weeks. “Under The Weather” is an unbelievably catchy tune. I don’t know all of the words so I make up new ones to fit the melody. I can remember “Under the weather rain or shine.” Then I find myself trying to think of what rhymes with shine. I come up with all kinds of things. I usually end up singing something about a behind. That rhymes.

Today as I aggressively drove through the streets of downtown Saint Petersburg, track 9 stood out to me. “Halo” is not an aggressive song. It distracted me from the idiocy occurring on the road in front of me long enough to make me smile. It has a quirky quality that reminds me of my college days.

If I listed all of the songs I like on “Little Elevator”, I’d end up listing every single one of them. I like the CD because it expresses real situations in a way that doesn’t depress me. The often sad lyrics are balanced out by the humor in the music. Kirk Adams–who must have an interesting perspective on life–wrote all of the songs on the album and played many of the instruments.

“Little Elevator” would be a great addition to your music collection. Check it out here.
