Adam Puddington is one of Almonte, Ontario’s golden sons, and he wears the legacy proudly. Returning for his follow-up to 2006's critically acclaimed For The Meantime, Back in Town finds Adam Puddington delivering twelve contemplative and wit-sharp songs. Focused around a move from his hometown of Almonte, ON to Calgary and back again, the album strings Canadiana themes throughout. Setting a backdrop for his subdued and poetic writing, Puddington infuses influences as diverse as Gordon Lightfoot and Goin' Down the Road. From the honky tonk guitars of "Let's Go Out Drinking" to the Springsteen-esque build "Don't Hold it Against Me," each song embraces a unique emotion with a warm and expertly delivered country/folk sound.
Back in Town is Adam’s third release, and marks the debut production effort of Cuff the Duke guitarist/pedal steel ace Dale Murray, who brings a 60’s pop sensibility to Adam’s roots/folk rock. The album features performances from Tim Baker and Rob Crowell (Matt Mays and El Torpedo), Ruth Minnikin, Danny Ledwell (In-Flight Safety), and Paul Lowman (Cuff the Duke) among many others.
