[dropcap]M[/dropcap]ulti-platinum recording artist Bryan Adams released his first studio album in over six years with “Tracks of My Years” being released yesterday in the US and Canada. The album will come out October 6th in Europe.
Co-produced by Adams, David Foster and Bob Rock, the album features ten cover songs that span many different styles including Chuck Berry’s “Rock & Roll Music”, Ray Charles’ “I Can’t Stop Loving You” and the Beatles’ “Any Time at All”. The album also includes brand new track “She Knows Me”, which Adams wrote with his long-time writing partner, Jim Vallance. The 11-track, 16-track deluxe edition will be available digitally and at retailers nationwide.
“Making the selection of the songs for the album took a long time,” Adams recalled. “We recorded all kinds of songs until the songs sort of presented themselves, or sounded different enough from the originals. We did about 3 months of recording, spread out over the course of 2 years.”
Tracks of My Years is the first studio release by Adams since 2008’s Eleven. The album has been hailed as an eclectic mix of tracks that are reminiscent of a time when rock was played alongside country, pop and R&B.
