Swamp rock ‘n’ roller CC Adcock has packed a lot of living into his 33 years: guitar stints with Bo Diddley and Buckwheat Zydeco, an acclaimed solo record, film scores and album productions, as well as being founder and leader of the all-star swamp-pop supergroup, Lil’ Band O’ Gold. A sharp-dressed man who favors custom-made suits and fine footwear (usually reptilian), Adcock’s wit is as nimble as his fingers’ this is a player who’s been gigging and immersing himself in the Louisiana music scene since his early teens. “The greatest thing about living down here is that you can still go and knock on the door and hang out with all your heroes, and you can even start bands and play with ’em, which is double cool,” says Adcock. “I mean, it’s not like you can go and hang around with Robert Johnson, but comin’ up down here I have been able to hang out with cats who played with Howlin’ Wolf and Clifton Chenier and lots of first and second generation real-deal cats whose blues turned into rock ‘n’ roll. To me, it’s just amazing, in this day and age, to be this close to it all and to still be able to make that connection.”
