Biography

From the mid-'80s to the mid-'90s, Canadian singer/songwriter and guitarist Bryan Adams was one of the most successful recording artists in popular music worldwide. Twenty years later, Adams may be keeping a lower profile, but he's still going at it, concocting the anthemic rock and radio-friendly ballads he's famous for. He's still keeping up on the latest music, too, as you can see at a glance from this exclusive mixtape he made for ARTISTdirect. Who knew the guy who brought the world "Summer of '69" would put The White Stripes next to Ray Charles?
