BRYAN ADAMS GOES BARE BONES FOR NEW LIVE CD

Bare Bones is the eleventh studio album from Canadian rocker Bryan Adams and was recorded during his acoustic 'Bare Bones Tour' in early 2010. The album features re-workings of songs from Adam's extensive back catalogue stripped back to just vocals and guitar, with the occasional backing by keyboardist Gary Breit. The album captures Adams at his most vulnerable and raw and breathes new life into some of his most popular songs.
Adams says he was inspired to re-record the tracks by his experience recording 'MTV's Unplugged' in the Nineties. So he began performing the re-worked songs during his live shows. '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. These recordings only have the voices and hand claps of the fans in the audience and the ambience of the room to lift them.'
Narrowing down the selection of songs was such a difficult task that Adams threw it open to his fans, who voted through Twitter and his official website. The Canadian-born singer-songwriter has sold more than 65 million albums worldwide, garnered 21 top ten hits, and earned nominations for three Academy Awards and five Golden Globes.
Bare Bones track listing: You've Been A Friend To Me, Here I Am, I'm Ready, Night To Remember, It Ain't A Party (If You Can't Come 'Round), (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, Cuts Like A Knife, Please Forgive Me, Summer Of '69, Walk On By, Cloud Number 9, It's Only Love, Heaven, Right Place, The Way You Make Me, The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You, You're Still Beautiful To Me, Straight From The Heart, I Still Miss You...A Little Bit, All For Love.

This looks extremely boring to me. His best song isn't on here (Run To You).

Ya, Im gonna pass on this as well... I have his unplugged and its just ok, it starts off nicely and has some cool stuff on it and then it dies down and gets real slow... looks like this will be the same thing!

I wonder if he is just doing pet projects to keep his interest up. I really wish he would remaster his catalog. Cuts Like A Knife and Reckless would sound awesome if they would.
