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.[1]
Adcock has made guest appearances on other artists' albums, including several by Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, Red Letter Year by Ani DiFranco, and several by Bramhall.
Adcock recorded a song for the soundtrack of the HBO series True Blood, titled "Bleed 2 Feed," and has also appeared on the series with his band.
He has performed and recorded with the south Louisiana supergroup Lil' Band o' Gold, which, in addition to Adcock, consists of swamp pop pioneer Warren Storm on drums, accordionist Steve Riley, Richard Comeaux of River Road and pianist David Egan. Adcock also has performed frequently with Paul "Lil' Buck" Sinegal's Cowboy Stew Blues Revue, based in Lafayette.
In March 2009, a documentary co-produced by Adcock, Promised Land: A Swamp Pop Journey, looked at life on the road with Lil' Band o' Gold. The film made its premiere at the South by Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin, Texas.
In March 2010, the second Lil' Band O' Gold album, The Promised Land, was released on the Dust Devil Music label, during the band's inaugural Australian tour.
In May 2011, a remastered version of The Promised Land was released by Room 609 Records.
