With Howlin' Wolf presumably selling well, Sam Phillips pitched Woodrow Adams to Chess Records, and Chess took one single. Like Wolf, Adams worked in a riff-driven groove with flashes of falsetto, but Adams lone Checker single sold so poorly that must one copy is known to survive. For one thing, Adams doesn't have Wolf's commanding presence. The eerie falsetto is straight out of Tommy Johnson via Howlin' Wolf, although Adams told David Evans that he wasn't familiar with Johnson. ''Pretty Baby Blues'' breaks down at the end, and it's quite easy to visualize Phillips in the control room gesticulating wildly to get Adams and the 3 Bs to bring the song to a halt. Three minutes and ten seconds was about the limit of a 78rpm disc in those days. Adams name checks Sylvester Hayes at one point, confirming his presence. (CE)
