Folk musician, banjo picker and singer, Adams arrived in Britain at the peak of the "skiffle" movement and remained. He busked around Europe with "Ramblin'" Jack Elliott, sharing a house in Waterloo, London, with among others Lionel Bart. Moved to Belgium after "Don't Look Back", by which time alcohol dependency had kicked in. Dried out in 1972 after a near-fatal collapse and made comeback album "Feelin' Fine" with Wiz Jones. Wrote songs "Portland Town" and "Wish I was a Rock".
