****1/2 Doc Pomus was a terrific songwriter. Johnny Adams was an outstanding singer. Perhaps not since chocolate met peanut butter has a combination tasted this good. Okay that blithe observation aside this is one of Adams' essential purchases. Pomus even wrote several new songs and worked with Adams on planning this Rounder CD up until his own death. In a sense you could call this "Johnny Adams Sings Doc Pomus & Dr. John" since Mac Rebbenack (Dr. John) co-wrote seven of the tracks with Pomus. The 11 song set captures all the emotional dexterity of Adams' ethereal voice- anguish, heartache, cockiness, tenderness- and the accompaniment is golden. Once again greats like Dr. John, Duke Robillard and Alvin "Red" Tyler are on board. Along with Pomus classics like "No One" (a hit for Ray Charles), "Still In Love" and a heart-stopping take on "There's Always One More Time", there's new numbers that are just as good. The bittersweet, painfully romantic "She's Everything To Me" is lyrically brilliant: "I know that face may be just another face to you/But every line and wrinkle says what I put her through/She tried to make me believe I could be anything I wanted to be/She's the only thing that's everything to me". Not far behind is "The Real Me" and perhaps this is the real Johnny Adams- but it's certainly the real Doc Pomus.
