Jay Boy Adams
James Wallace "Jay Boy" Adams (born December 8, 1949) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Lubbock and San Antonio, Texas, known particularly for storytelling in his songs.
==Early years==
Adams was born in Fort Worth but reared in Colorado City, the seat of Mitchell County south of Snyder in West Texas, where his father was the local Chevrolet dealer and a rancher.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jay Boy Adams biography )〕 Upon graduation in 1967 from Colorado City High School, he entered the University of North Texas at Denton, then North Texas State University, which is known for its arts and music curricula. There one of his English classmates was Don Henley, later with the Eagles. Adams also met Gary Nicholson while at NTSU. Adams went to Dallas, to hear the guitarist Bugs Henderson, who played an impact on Adams's musical development. He fondly credits the late nights spent listening to Henderson for the neglect of his college studies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jay Boy Adams to perform at Texas Theater )〕
With hopes of a musical career of his own, Adams left UNT after two years and moved to Houston. There he met John Carrick whose mother was the owner of Sand Mountain Coffee House. His first solo performing was at Sand Mountain along with Carrick, Bobbie Jo Gentry, Jerry Jeff Walker and others. Adams and Carrick formed "Hayseed" a short lived band experimenting with original songs and then performing in and around Houston and at Alan's Landing. Once there, Adams met the guitarist Billy Gibbons of The Moving Sidewalks, and played at The Cellar.〔 In late 1969 he moved to Midland where he joined the house band at The Chateau Club led by Johnny Heartsman. Adams credited Heartsman as a major influence. He attended Howard College, a community college in Big Spring, Texas, with the goal of improving his grade-point average so that he could re-enter a university. Meanwhile, he lost his draft deferment during the Vietnam War.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Interview: Jay Boy Adams )〕
In March 1972, Steve Moss, a friend secured Adams a spot with the ZZ Top band in Lubbock. That summer he gained entry to Texas Tech University in Lubbock to study music and English. ZZ Top's manager, Bill Ham, soon invited Adams to play for the band at the Municipal Auditorium in Dallas. By 1976, Adams had signed with Atlantic Records, which in 1977 released his first music. After two albums Atlantic did not renew his contract. Late 1980 manager Bill Ham sent Adams to Capricorn Records in Macon, GA to record. His last recordings were done there with Paul Hornsby producing. Early 1981 before the album was completed Capricorn Records filed bandruptsy. Probably his best unfinished work to date was locked away in the legal vault. He and his band continued to perform and tour but by 1982 Adams had had enough and withdrew from the music scene. Adams is known for his ability for storytelling in song, a mixture of blues, rock and roll, country, and folk music. In those years, Adams often spent more than half of the year in concert tours.〔 He performed not only with ZZ Top, but the Allman Brothers Band, Marshall Tucker Band, Joe Cocker, and many others. In the Cocker band for a time was a saxophone player, Bobby Keys, originally from Slaton in Lubbock County, who began touring with many bands as a young teenager. Keys and Adams had not previously met but toured together for a time with Cocker.〔 It had been years since Bobby Keys had seen Lubbock. Adams invited Keys to return and play with his band at the first Joe Ely Tornado Jam.
