JAMES NEWTON ADAMS    BUY CD FROM AMAZON     BUY MP3 FROM 5000 RECORDS   CORE (2007)   A third strike for this Notting Hill songster. Two years after his second album "Comeback Crazy" this new offering hits the nail on the head and proceeds to hammer it through the wall! Tracks including Easy, Mess You About, Good Times and Sunny Day, are just some of the fresh ingredients in this spicy album. Just add some punchy drums, pounding bass, sprinkle on some flavorsome Les Paul licks, sizzle for 42 minutes and you have the ultimate experience that is the JNA sound. Soulful upbeat rock, like pouring full fat milk on your cornflakes.   When James realised he was in some way related to 17th century genius Sir Isaac Newton, he wondered why he was never any good at Maths, but then one day it occurred to him that perhaps his talents lay elsewhere. After all he was a Musician, a Blacksmith and an Artist. Most of his life, people hadn't taken him seriously, in fact, he hadn't taken himself that seriously.   It wasn't until he met Sascha Panknin, the washed out bassist from the Fantastischen Vier and a longhair guitar picker from the "West Side" of Portobello Road, 'Wig' Simmins that suddenly people started to listen. James and the newly-formed band had penned a bunch of songs together, now they were getting into the vibe. It was time to do some recording. So they did. After hammering out the album tracks in a Scottish studio, they spent some time recording and mixing it in Spain. This is the result. Hope you like it! "This new album from James Newton Adams & Co is a rather marvelous musical elaboration." G.J.            VALENTINE'S DAY EP      BUY CD FROM AMAZON   COMEBACK CRAZY (2005)   Return of the Notting Hill Blacksmith! 2 years after his acclaimed debut "Stripdown" we placed him in a studio and rolled tape. And so transpired these tales of innocence, irony and insanity. "Comeback Crazy" an album with more hooks than the hanging gardens of Babylon. Grown up nursery rhymes for indie pop lovers everywhere. Some already call it "album of the year" ... others would go even further.   TRACK LISTING:   1.took your fancy  listen to mp3 2.zig zag song  listen to mp3 3.insane  listen to mp3 4.disco is all you know  listen to mp3 5.crossing the line  listen to mp3 6.call of the wild  listen to mp3 7.king of the clowns  listen to mp3 8.travelled far (piano version)  listen to mp3 9.real sad  listen to mp3 10.backseat driver  listen to mp3 11.reactor  listen to mp3 12.skin  listen to mp3 13.everlasting day  listen to mp3 14.comeback interlude 15.comeback crazy  listen to mp3 16.pack your bags up  listen to mp3 17.travelled far  listen to mp3 18.daylight falling   written by james adams except insane + king of the clowns written by adams/simmins + zigzag song written by adams/elle published by ed.ferdinand/ emi music publishing produced by sascha panknin   WORLD TOUR DATES:   JAMES NEWTON ADAMS and the Purveyors live   22.09.2004 blag club London 21.10.2004 blag club London 11.12.2004 campfield place 12.11.2004 notting hill forge London 17.11.2004 resonance fm London 18.11.2004 radio mvs1025 Mexico City 22.12.2004 woodys London 23.12.2004 20th century theater London 02.03.2005 troubadour London 06.03.2005 cobden club London 07.03.2005 cobden club London (www.4stickslive.com) 28.06.2005 heartland FM interview and live 06.08.2005 SSC site Perthshire 24.08.2005 weem Hotel Perthshire 08.09.-11.09.2005 spain tour Malaga/Granada 24.09.2005 kirkmichael festival 12.11.2005 strathgarry house (feat.
