Tony Adamo: Rain Man

I usually don’t review singles, but Tony Adamo is just so good to the bones that nothing he does can be ignored. Here, he teams up with Tower of Power keyboardist Roger Smith and with a team that is so loose that you have to get regular treatments from a chiropractor to dance to it. Adamo delivers his street wise lyrics about life and love, while the bass is slapped around like Cagney’s girlfriends and the drums snap like Pavarotti’s tights. This hip mix of blues and soul puts the fun back in funky.
