Album Notes & Community Reviews

Operating as a double album, 'Cold Roses' is the first of three full-lengths Adams would release within the calendar year and serves to introduce his backing band, The Cardinals. The production heavily features pedal steel guitar and close vocal harmonies, drawing deep stylistic parallels to 1970s Californian folk-rock and traditional roots music.
