2010 CD Polydor 2755314

Bare Bones is an inspired collection of minimally arranged hits culled from Adams' impressive body of work spanning three decades. Recorded in spring of 2010 during his "Bare Bones Tour," the disc captures a raw Adams, featuring only his distinctive voice and guitar, accompanied on select songs by keyboardist Gary Breit, lending a newfound appreciation and perspective to what many consider some of the most beloved songs in pop/rock music.

Similar to his 1997 MTV Unplugged release, this live album features stripped-down, acoustic versions of Bryan Adam's biggest hits. Some of the songs are solo performances; others feature keyboard accompaniment from Gary Breit, who toured alongside Adams on his 2010 acoustic tour.



Mojo (Publisher) (p.96) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[H]e's still in fine, gutsy voice on stand-outs such as 'It's Only Love' and 'Summer Of '69'..."



Inspired by his experience recording "MTV's Unplugged" in the 90's, Adams decided to revisit performing his material pared down once again in 2008. With a consistently loyal following on the road, Adams continued playing live shows with these new spare arrangements in 2010, and as an experiment decided to start recording them for a possible record. Comments Adams, "as the tour rolled across the USA and Canada, many people were asking for a recording of the songs as they had just heard in the show. So in response to that, I decided to record a few shows to see if a recording was even interesting... I like the way the songs carry themselves warts and all, bare-boned, without the original arrangements of a full band or an orchestra." He continues, "These recordings only have the voices and handclaps of the fans in the audience and the ambience of the room to lift them." Narrowing down the selections for Bare Bones was a challenging exercise given Adams' expansive catalogue, so he enlisted the assistance of his fans. Chosen by a combination of suggestions received through Twitter and his official website, the final tracklisting reflects a well-balanced mixture of old, rare, familiar and new material.

Alle Fans von Kanadas wichtigstem Kulturbotschafter können sich diesen Herbst auf ein ganz besonderes musikalisches Highlight freuen: Bare Bones ein neues Live-Album des 50-jährigen. Dabei handelt es sich jedoch keinesfalls um eine gewöhnliche Live-LP: Adams präsentiert auf vielfachen Wunsch seiner Fans 20 wunderschöne Mitschnitte von seiner aktuellen "Bare Bones"-Tournee, in deren Rahmen er bewusst auf große Arrangements verzichtet und die größten Hits seiner Karriere allein mit seiner Akustikgitarre (und gelegentlich mit der Unterstützung eines Pianisten) zum Besten gibt, was Bare Bones zum inoffiziellen Nachfolger seines grandiosen Unplugged-Albums macht. Bryan Adams - Unplugged erschien 1997 und verkaufte sich weltweit über fünf Millionen Mal.

Bryan Adams' Kommentar zum neuen Album, für dessen Songauswahl er aufgrund der Fülle an Material auch seine Fans per Twitter zu Wort kommen ließ: "Die Idee lautete... einfach nur mit meiner Akustikgitarre aufzutreten...Als mich die Fans dann immer wieder ansprachen, weil sie genau diese... Versionen auch zu Hause hören wollten, fasste ich den Entschluss, ein paar Testaufnahmen zu machen...."

Inspiration can sometimes take a while to strike. Take Bryan Adams, for instance. Some 13 years after he cut an MTV Unplugged album, Adams decided to once again strip down his songs to acoustic, to take them down to their Bare Bones, to coin a phrase that’s used for the title of this 2010 collection. Culled from performances from his 2010 North American tour, Bare Bones doesn’t skimp on the hits but it does dig deep into his catalog, possibly due to Adams soliciting song suggestions via Twitter, a move that also indicates how this intimate performance is geared toward fans who have stuck with him through the years. Certainly, they’re the audience who will appreciate the subtle rearrangements and surprise songs but the thing is, listeners how long ago stopped paying attention to Adams due to the over-calculation of his studio records or the spectacle of his live show will find this his most appealing set in years. Backed by just his acoustic guitar and sometimes a piano, Adams sounds lean, his voice wearing handsomely, his charm put to the forefront. This setting turns such slick also-rans as “Only Thing That Looks Good on Me Is You” into a fun little rocker and reveals the strong bones of such perennials as “Cuts Like a Knife” and “Summer of 69,” making his body of work seem consistent in a way no hits compilation has managed.
