Terry Adams finds his own voice
This is the third part of a three-part series on Terry Adams, a west Knoxville businessman and musician. Well before Terry Adams’ music became known across the world, his sound formed in dive bars on Cumberland Avenue. At the time, he transitioned from imitating other artists to putting his own spin on well-known hits. That sound developed further through songwriting sessions with artists, such as Jeffrey Steele, Wayne Mills, Craig Wiseman, Channing Wilson and Dave Kennedy, among others. For reference, Wilson has written hits, such as Luke Combs’ “She Got the Best of Me,” while Steele has put together chart-toppers like Rascal Flatts’ “What Hurts the Most,” Tim McGraw’s “The Cowboy in Me” and “My Town” by Montgomery Gentry. Working alongside those talents, Adams began writing his first record, American Songwriter, which came out in 2024. And this past January, he released “Country Music,” which features a dozen more tunes ranging from “Dog Bite Town” — an ode to his mother in its description of the Nashville music scene — and Iroc Blue, which details his maturity to adulthood through the lens of his first car.

You want a good cushion, but it feels good.” In the North Ward 1 race, Ruffalo received 1,339 votes, or 51.58 %, while his opponent, Dian Hall, received 1,257 votes, or 48.42 %.
