Adam Hood is a self-avowed maker of Southern songs. “One of the t-shirts I sell at every show simply says ‘Southern songs’ and that's a good summary of what I do. It's what I've always done." When Hood’s lyrics are not actually checking off the names of cities around the South they still speak from the perspectives of the best of our Southern writers. "It's southern music," he says, "That's what it represents: the soulful side of southern music, the country side of southern music, the genuineness of southern culture, and the way I grew up.”
