JAY BOY ADAMS SAYS HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW: Tells a story about a man who was married to a devil of a woman. One day, after 10 years of marriage, the wife sends the husband out for a loaf of bread and he just never comes back. “That’s what happened to me,” Jay Boy Adams says. “I just disappeared.” The Lone Star state troubadour emerged out of the crowded Texas songwriting field of the 1970s with a record deal and big tours of his own in the latter part of the decade. He played gigs with The Band, Jackson Browne and Joe Ely. But in 1982, Adams walked away from everything. Tired of the game, he stepped off the tour bus and, instead, started making tour buses. Adams founded “Roadhouse Transportation” and spent the last 16 years supplying wheels for the likes of Shania Twain, Peter Frampton and Patti Labelle. Now, he’s finally ready to play again, having recently released his first album in two decades, The Shoe Box. You can hear this legend of Americana, blues and country shake off the dust at WorkPlay this Thursday, April 26. He’ll make an appearance as the special guest of Stephen Stills (you may have heard of Stills, too – he used to be in this little outfit known as Crosby, Stills & Nash). Show time is 8 p.m. and a few $40 tickets are still available, standing room only. 380-4082 or www.workplay.com
