    Recorded straight to tape with no overdubs, Still Moving proves a thrilling, spontaneous affair, switching between the laments and love songs of southern Italy and the gritty blues of North Africa and North America.

    The duo, who recorded during a very small window of opportunity during the pandemic shutdowns, show they are a synergistic pairing, creating music that seems more expansive than imaginable for just two musicians playing “live” in a studio without overdubs. Though the cuts are played with modern electronics, the songs are a thing apart from contemporary music, tapping ancient spirits and an emotional depth that modern pop seldom comes near.

    The potency of Adams' guitar-playing is familiar enough, but he also emerges for the first time s a fine singer, with a deep nd bluesy growl which bears the influence of his years backing Plant. [Dec 2021, p.23]
