Product Description

NRBQ is: Terry Adams, Scott Ligon, Pete Donnelly, Conrad Choucroun.

NRBQ pianist Terry Adams resumes his life's work full-force with Keep This Love Goin', a new studio CD recorded with the band he formed in 2007, formerly known as The Terry Adams Rock & Roll Quartet. Adams, and Scott Ligon on guitar & vocals, Pete Donnelly on bass & vocals, and Conrad Choucroun on drums, offer twelve unforgettable and unmistakably-NRBQ tunes. Pop, rock, jazz, swing, and more are here, as are great musicianship, emotion, fearlessness, and fun. Adams, who has presided over every NRBQ line-up since the band's inception over 40 years ago, recently revealed his life-changing cancer diagnosis in 2004, his former bandmates' decision to leave to pursue their own music, and the long road back to health and the formation of a new band worthy of the name NRBQ. Great news - that time has come!

The San Francisco Examiner said:

''The founder of the brilliant NRBQ combo walked away from the band name when its original lineup splintered in 2004, when he was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer. In 2007, the spider-limbed keyboardist tentatively returned with new members (guitarist Scott Ligon, bassist Pete Donnelly, drummer Conrad Choucroun) as The Terry Adams Rock And Roll Quartet. Now he returns with Keep This Love Goin', having rechristened said outfit NRBQ. And why not? It's been his baby since 1967.

Adams reclaimed his title, he says, because he's finally found musicians who not only understand NRBQ's lofty past and traditions, but are open to future impossibilities, as well (and if you've ever seen Adams in concert, you know just how energetic a performer has to be to keep up with him).''

Review

Not to sound all cornball, but if anything embodies the spirit of rock 'n' roll, this music does. Check it out. --yahoo.com
Keep This Love Goin' not only sounds like a real NRBQ album, it may be the best one in about 20 years. The pop songs sparkle, the rockers are loose and lively, and there's plenty of the freewheeling spirit that the last few discs lacked. --Sound & Vision
The best thing about this CD is that it's timeless and fun... Adams and his cohorts, old and new, have always tapped into something that makes their music never sound dated and never sound dull. I hope Terry Adams VIII is leading NRBQ in the year 3010! --Roctober
