Reckless

Bryan Adams recorded this in 1984, it sold twelve million copies, and every now and then you hear an album and think: yeah, that tracks.

Summer of ’69 could carry a lesser record by itself. Heaven is the ballad that sounds better than it has any right to.

Run to You opens the whole thing and doesn’t waste a second getting started.

One Night Love Affair is the one people who actually own this record talk about. Not the one that makes the classic rock playlist. Just the one that’s quietly better than most of the others, which is saying something on an album with no filler.                                                                                                            

It’s Only Love, the Tina Turner duet, is a little rougher around the edges than the rest. Works in its favor.
