简介:  Bryan Adams will revisit his youth this fall when he releases The Tracks of My Years, a collection of covers of some of his favorite songs from the 1950s, '60s and '70s. The disc, Adams' first studio album in more than six years, features 10 classic tunes, and one new original song called "She Knows Me," co-written with his longtime collaborator Jim Vallance. The deluxe version of the record adds five more tracks. The album's cover features a photo of Bryan sporting extremely long hair that was taken just before he turned 16. "Making the selection of the songs for the album took a long time," Adams says in a statement, noting that the process spanned three months of recording spread out over two years. "We recorded all kinds of songs until the songs sort of presented themselves, or sounded different enough from the originals." Noting the diversity of the songs on the project, Bryan explains, "Radio was king when I was a teenager. You'd hear Paul McCartney's 'Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey’ straight into 'Kiss and Say Goodbye' by The Manhattans. Radio didn't discriminate back then." Among the songs the Canadian singer covers on The Tracks of My Years: Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lady," The Beatles' "Any Time at All," The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows," The Association's "Never My Love," Chuck Berry's "Rock and Roll Music" and the aforementioned song by The Manhattans.
