  • Adam Hood didn’t anticipate performing at the Grand Ole Opry.
  • In an interview, Hood, 47, says, “I mean, it’s always your dream.” “You always want to do that. It’s unquestionably the peak for everyone who works in that field, whether they are an artist, a writer, or something else. I just wasn’t aware that it fell under our purview.”
  • The celebrated singer/songwriter still finds it hard to believe it.

Regarding his Opry debut from last month, he says, “I guess I am still absorbing it. “Sincerely, I anticipated a little bit more chaos than there was. It operated like a well-oiled machine. Although I was as anxious as you might have expected, following the sound check, I felt much less anxious.”

Hood sang two original songs during his two-song set, “Way Too Long” from his 2014 album Welcome to the Big World and “Harder Stuff” from his most recent album Bad Days Better. He maintained his cool throughout the entire performance.

When asked about the memorable night when he shared the stage with fellow Grand Ole Opry members Darius Rucker, Bill Anderson, Jeannie Seely, Lauren Alaina, and Dustin Lynch, he chuckles and says, “I tried to pick out the songs that had the least amount of bad words in them.” “I needed to monitor myself.”

Hood had a tonne of songs to choose from, to be fair, since he has written a tonne of songs that have been performed by many singers, including Miranda Lambert, Cody Jinks, Ashland Craft, Drake White, The Oak Ridge Boys, and Little Big Town.

Regarding the song “Front Porch Thing,” which he and Chris Stapleton co-wrote for Little Big Town’s platinum-certified album Tornado, Hood says, “I’ve seen Little Big Town sing it onstage at the Opry.”

However, Hood claims that these days and at this stage of his career, he enjoys keeping more songs to himself. A few of these songs have now made their way onto Hood’s most recent album, Bad Days Better, which landed in the top 10 of the Americana albums chart.

With regard to Hood’s fifth studio album, which was released in September, he comments, “You can have so many expectations for what you want the record to be going into it, but then it’s always fascinating to me what the record develops into as opposed to how it starts.” But I just believe that with this record, we got deeper.

Hood eventually got the album concept down to exactly what he does best, working once more with legendary producer Brent Cobb.

According to Hood, who produced the entire rootsy album at Capricorn Studios, “I believe in the past, I have approached records by making them more like a songwriter’s record, which is nice and it’s enjoyable, but this was more like a stylistic record.” “We made an effort to write songs that contained both the usual lyrical content and deeply rooted material. Instead of only being lyrically representative, I wanted it to be musically representative of what I do.”

And in order to do that, Hood was forced to think back on his upbringing in Opelika, Alabama, where he began performing hometown gigs at the age of 16 and eventually secured a weekly residency at a nearby restaurant where he performed songs by John Hiatt, Steve Warner, Hank Williams Jr., and Vince Gill.

Hood, who is reported to have been discovered by Lambert after her van broke down and resulted in a publishing deal in Nashville, states, “I wanted to be able to throw positive light on my childhood and stuff like that.” “I believe that occasionally “the South” gets a terrible rap. Although I am aware that everyone is quick to blame others, Alabama has a lot to be proud of and to celebrate. I really wanted to imply without expressing that it is a result of my influence. These days, angering individuals is really simple.”

He takes a long breath in.

The father of three adds, “I’m not trying to tell you how you feel. “You are free to read into this what you want, but this is how I’m stating it. The beauty of being a songwriter is in that.”
