Bryan Adams has revealed his new studio album – and as expected based on his two recent singles The Ballad Of Terry Fox and 51st State, it’s all about The Great White North.
“The idea was simply to make a record about Canada,” says Bryan. “It started with writing the song for the documentary Canada’s Wild Eastern Edge and after doing so much research, I was inspired to start writing more songs about Canada. Musically it took me somewhere a little different too, which made the whole thing exciting.”
The album explores a distinctly Canadian musical landscape, drawing on country, folk and rock. The twelve tracks will drop Friday November 06 via download, on CD, on standard black vinyl, and on red and white splatter vinyl. The bonus track on the download version is Lake Ontario. Heh heh.
A hardback book edition will also be available, featuring the album on CD, song lyrics and images connected to the stories and subjects explored across the record. Preorders and presaves are over here.
