==Biography==
His recording career was somewhat uneven, and like Elliott he was better known for whom he influenced—[[Donovan]], among others—than for his own art. With Elliott, he had gone to England to play live and record.<ref name="AMG"/> Elliott went back,
In celebration of Adams 65th birthday, a concert featuring [[Allan Taylor (musician)|Allan Taylor]], [[Wizz Jones]], former members of [[Pentangle (band)|Pentangle]] and [[Happy Traum]], plus Adams former travelling partner Elliott, was recorded and released on album.<ref name="LarkinGE"/>
▲His recording career was somewhat uneven, and like Elliott he was better known for whom he influenced—[[Donovan]], among others—than for his own art. With Elliott, he had gone to England to play live and record. Elliott went back, and Adams stayed. He took Donovan, who had been playing around the UK with [[Gyp Mills|Gypsy Dave]], under his wing as a sort of protégé; as a result, the influence of American traditional music can be distinctly heard in Donovan's earlier work (see [[D. A. Pennebaker]]'s ''[[Dont Look Back]]'').
Adams died in [[Antwerp]], Belgium, in February 2000.<ref name="AMG"/> His collaboration with Elliott left behind a body of influence that prevails today. [[Topic Records]] has made most of his and Elliott's recordings available on CD.{{Citation needed|date=March 2016}}
