Here are Bryan’s liner notes to further explain the concept
“This album was compiled from concerts in the spring of 2010 on what I called "the Bare Bones tour". These shows started as an experiment in 2008 with just an acoustic guitar partially to promote my album at the time, but also because it had been on my mind since I recorded my MTV "unplugged" album back in 1996 to do something like that again some day, but maybe even more pared down, to just the voice and guitar. After all, the songs on this compilation all started in a room somewhere with me sitting there working the song out on a guitar, but the intention would have been that they'd be recorded with the band. It didn't occur to me until doing the Unplugged show, that it was possible to see the songs in a different light, to perform them in a different way. Fast forward to now, 2010 and the touring is going strong, and I've added Gary Breit on piano to accompany me. Which brings me to this CD; as the tour rolled across the USA and Canada, many people were asking for a recording of the songs as they had just heard the show - raw. So in response to that, I decided to record a few shows to see if a recording was even interesting. Listening to it now as we are mixing, I like the way the songs carry themselves warts and all, bare boned, without the original arrangements of a full band or an orchestra. Apart from my Martin guitar, my harmonica and Gary on piano these recordings only have the voices and handclaps of the fans in the audience and the ambience of the room to lift them. Some of the songs selected here were selected by surveying fans on Twitter and through www.bryanadams.com, and I'm sorry I couldn't get all the requests on, but there was an overwhelming consensus for a mixture of old and rare, and for the known and something new. So here you go, i hope you enjoy the music as much as I did making it and performing it. My thanks to all the people that worked on the shows to make them happen, and to the fans that came out to the shows and endured my long winded stories, attempted humour, and other snippets about my life, the music and the road”
