    Tracks Of My Years
    Er gehört zu den erfolgreichsten Singer/Songwritern der Welt. Der Grammy Gewinner Bryan Adams ist Kanadas Musik-Botschafter Nummer 1. In seiner über vier Jahrzehnte umfassenden Karriere verkaufte er mehr als 65 Millionen Tonträger und eroberte regelmäßig rund um den Globus Platz 1 der Charts. Dieses Jahr veröffentlicht er sein neues Album "Tracks Of My Years", eine Kollektion zeitloser Klassiker aus den 1950ern, 60ern und 70ern, darunter auch eine Neuaufnahme seines eigenen Songs "You've Been A Friend To Me". Die musikalischen Einflüsse sind breit gefächert und reichen z.B. von Chuck Berry's "Rock And Roll Music" über Ray Charles' "I Can't Stop Loving You" bis hin zu "Any Time At All" von den Beatles. Einen komplett neuen Song wird das Album auch beinhalten: "She Knows Me", geschrieben mit Co-Writer Jim Vallance, der schon viele Hits (u.a. "Heaven", "Summer Of 69","Cuts Like A Knife") zusammen mit Adams schrieb.

    Washington Waltz
    Jess Grant writes songs that provoke and amuse, fusing lyrical intensity with diverse pop styles and working-class ethics. Raised by a father who's tone-deaf and a mother who called sheet music "those little black dots with lines," Jess had to look elsewhere for musical inspiration. He was drawn to the stories sung by folk singers like Ed McCurdy, the Kingston Trio, Harry Belafonte, Joan Baez and the Weavers. Driving cross-country as a kid, Jess would look forward to hearing rock'n'roll hits like the Rolling Stones' Satisfaction and Chuck Berry's Memphis. In high school he took up the piano and his imagination was captured by the music of Jethro Tull, Elton John, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, David Bowie, Paul Simon, Supertramp and Genesis. Jess' own music has changed over the years, and his songwriting has grown more focused. Starting out on piano in high school, he switched to bass for a couple of years before finally settling into his current position of rhythm guitarist and lead singer. Some of Jess' favorite performing songwriters currently include Graham Parker, Steve Earle, Ani Difranco, Richard Thompson, Bruce Cockburn, Sheryl Crow, Dave Alvin, and James McMurtry. Jess tackles topics that would stump a lesser songwriter, and his shows invariably elicit some uncomfortable titters. "For my Foreskin" is a cutting but humorous critique of circumcision, "Oh Victoria" is a lovelorn look at lingerie catalogs and the self-pleasure they can provide, "Elvis and the Magi" recasts the Nativity tale with Elvis Presley in the holy infant's role, and "Living in the Harem" is told in the voice of a eunuch living among a rich man's wives. Not songs for the faint of heart - but luckily Jess writes plenty of love songs too.
