Delta Groove's Arthur Adams shows off his signature blend of soul, sweet rhythm and blues with Stomp the Floor. Arthur Adams has been a popular mainstay of the blues scene in Los Angeles for many years. As the featured house bandleader at B.B. King's blues club in Universal City, Arthur exposed patrons night after night to his soulful blend of silky rhythm & blues combined with his searing guitar and buttery smooth vocal delivery. The Tennessee native got his start early in life at six years old singing in the church choir and later acquired his first guitar as he entered into his teens. His initial inspiration came from guitarist Howard Carroll of the American gospel group The Dixie Hummingbirds, but Arthur also displays an obvious affection and stylistic debt to the six string attack of longtime friend B.B. King.
Arthur traveled throughout the south early on in his career before eventually heading out west and settling in Los Angeles in the mid-sixties. His first album, "It's Private Tonight" released in 1972, firmly established the silky smooth vocal presence and guitar style that still comprises Arthur's signature sound of today. Over the years, Arthur's talent and versatility in the studio proved invaluable as his skills were consistently utilized for numerous recording projects for film and television, along with extensive session work that includes albums by Jimmy Smith, Nina Simone, Quincy Jones, Lowell Fulson, The Crusaders and Bonnie Raitt. In 1991, Arthur played rhythm guitar and contributed two songs, "Mean And Evil" and "Something Up My Sleeve," to B.B. King's album "There Is Always One More Time" on MCA Records. King later returned the favor appearing on Arthur's comeback release "Back On Track" in 1999.
When Randy Chortkoff established Delta Groove Music in 2004 with the label's very first effort "That Represent Man" by The Mannish Boys, Arthur was invited to appear on stage with the band at several of their live performances and was later featured as a special guest on Mitch Kashmar's debut release "Nickels & Dimes." So when Arthur approached Delta Groove about his latest project, naturally he was welcomed in with open arms. "Stomp The Floor" features Arthur Adams' signature brand of soulfully sweet rhythm & blues filled with melodic hooks, classy arrangements and impeccable songwriting, affirming once again Arthur's status and rightful place amongst the genre's most celebrated and beloved artists.
