Adcock has recorded two solo albums, the self-titled C. C. Adcock (produced by Tarka Cordell), issued in 1994 on the Island label, and reissued in 2000 on the Evangeline label, under the title House Rocker; and Lafayette Marquis, issued in 2004 on the Yep Roc label. C.C. Adcock is featured in the True Blood soundtrack.
He has performed and recorded with the south Louisiana 'supergroup' Lil' Band of Gold, which, in addition to Adcock, consists of swamp pop pioneer Warren Storm on drums, accordionist Steve Riley of the Mamou Playboys; Richard Comeaux of River Road; and pianist David Egan. Adcock also performed with Lil' Buck Senegal's Cowboy Stew Blues Revue, based in Lafayette.
Adcock appears often with swamp pop veterans like Storm, Rod Bernard and Tommy McLain, and in the 1990s he coaxed out of retirement swamp pop pioneers King Karl and Guitar Gable.
Despite his frequent association with swamp pop music and its artists, Adcock does not consider himself a swamp pop musician, given the harder edge of his guitar-driven sound, and his experimentation with non-traditional recording techniques.
Y'all'd Think She'd Be Good 2 Me
C.C. Adcock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m at it again
Caught up in the moment
But not in the right way
I'm falling in between
Tearing up at the seams
We're just aiming to please
And aesthetics don′t hurt one bit
So follow me down
Take this all the way
Any way you want to
Why don′t you say so?
I think I'm caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I′m lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don't you say so?
Why don′t you say so?
You've got me thinking that
Lately I′ve been wishing
The television set would show me more
Than just a picture of the things I've grown to detest
I strip down my dignity
They can take all of me
But they won't ever take what I still believe
So follow me down
Take this all the way
Any way you want to
Why don′t you say so?
I think I′m caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don′t you say so?
Why don't you say so?
Give up and let go
I′m just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look
As I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so?
Why don′t you say so?
I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there
I know, I know, I know
That there's a place for me somewhere out there
Why don′t you say so?
I think I′m caught in between
The nights and days fly by
When I'm lost on the streets
And my eyes, they despise you for who I am
Why don′t you say so?
Why don't you say so?
Give up and let go
I′m just a boy with a dream
And you can take one look
As I fall in between
With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be
Why don't you say so?
Why don′t you say so?
The song "Y'all'd Think She'd Be Good 2 Me" by C.C. Adcock tells about someone who feels caught in between different emotions and situations. The lyrics suggest that the person is experiencing a contradiction between their desires and their actions. They are "poppin' champagne" and enjoying the moment, but they are also "tearing up at the seams" and feeling trapped. The song questions why the other person they are with isn't speaking up about their feelings, which adds to the sense of confusion and desperation.
The lyrics also refer to a sense of disillusionment with the world around them. The line "The television set would show me more / Than just a picture of the things I've grown to detest" suggests a weariness with the superficiality and emptiness of modern society. The person is willing to give themselves fully to others ("I strip down my dignity / They can take all of me"), but they still hold on to a glimmer of hope and belief.
Overall, the song conveys a complex emotional landscape, with the singer caught between different feelings, desires, and expectations. The lyrics suggest a search for meaning and understanding in a confusing and often-disappointing world.

This somg was in the running to be the song for the opening credits for True Blood. TJace Everett’s “Bad Things” won out (rightfully so!), but this is a good song too.
