BRYAN ADAMS "Big Country Hits" CD and R/T

Post by Skip Mertz »

Man! I just got Bryans latest CD and R/ts of "Big Country Hits" and it is Killer! The Back up band is as good if not better than anything I've heard and Bryan really plays the best I've heard him on this one. The vocal work is also first class. Bryans' tone is amazing and the tracks will be some of your favorites to play intros , turnarounds and endings to. Get Em' both from Bryan! contact him badams@optidynamic.com or call
423-727-6093 and have a great time listening and pickin' to this set. I sure am and this will teach you guys that dont know when and where to play how to get in and out, swapping
fills with the other lead players. It's not rocket science but sooo many people just play ALL the time! Drummers and bass players need to listen to it also before I get thrown in jail, for killing them for playing TOOO DAMN HEAVY AND LOUD! Thanks Bryan, keep em comming, I need to come up for lessons soon

I purchased a copy of the CD Skip talks about and a copy of Bryan's '04 Project last week in Bristol. Both are good CDs with great steel work.

I picked up my copy of the CD & tracks in Bristol. This is the way country music should be played. It's a shame that you don't hear this kind of stuff on the radio anymore. This is in my heavy rotation of listening material. When I grow up I want to get a tone as good as Bryan's. If you haven't got your copy yet, you'd better get it!

Steve and Mike,

You guys are exactly right about Bryan's playing. That's real country steel guitar. If I were a steel player, that's the way I would want to play. As a steel guitar lovin' drummer, that is exactly the way I want to hear it. Great job Bryan.

I was up at BA"s place today. I got his new cd, man what music, if you like country music you better get one, or two or three. You will wear out the first one in no time. The band is great, so is the singer. The steel playing is out of this world. Tone Tone Tone to die for!!!!! If I could play like that I would make myself cry. Great job BA. Ronnie

I totally agree with all you guys said. This is the best it can get. Bryan outdid himself on this one, and David Stout was great also. I can't say enough about the whole band,they were all great. This one gets an A+ Bryan. Larry

All I can say again is HUMMMMMMMMMM !!! What a picker !!!! Ole B.A. done and come out of the chute again !!!!

Great album, Fantastic band, Good sounding studio, fine mix, and above all, a tone on that steel gittar, second to none. How'd he do dat???

Ya'll need to place your order, and if you want some fine tracks to play along with, order them both at the same time. It ain't often you get to play with a singer like Dave Stout.

As Mike Sweeney said, "Adams Family Productions", are for real.

Bryan has done it again!!! He has arranged, played, and produced another fantastic CD ! This is the best representation of pure classic country around. I unfortunately have never had a chance to meet Bryan but his music and personality in our correspondence makes me feel I've known him for years. David Stout croons some great tunes with his unique vocal work. Great job Bryan and crew!!! Keep the CDs flowing.

Let me put my 2 cents in on Bryan's new project. If you loved the classic sound of E9th steel during the golden years of country music, you will fall in love with this album.
This is the sound that got me hooked on the pedal steel to begin with. Over 30 years later, I am still hooked on it and Bryan delivers it in spades. If you like pure classic country backup, played by someone who has been there, done that, get this album. David Stout does a great job on the vocals, and he has been there, done that too. Also, make sure you get the tracks CD also. You will have a blast playing along with it. Almost like being on the bandstand in the mid sixties and seventies. Please help Bryan out on this so that he will be encouraged to "keep em coming."

I agree with everyone, an excellent CD but what makes it special is the tracks - ideal for working out back up licks and most of all - fitting in with other lead instruments. We need more of this sort of CD.
