Two more singles from the album, "Cuts Like A Knife" (#15) and "This Time" (#24) also became Hot 100 hits. The song "Straight From The Heart" stayed in the Top 40 for eleven weeks and would also top the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart. It took until early 1983 when the lead single from "Cuts Like A Knife", Adams' third album, finally broke through to the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100. During this point in his career Bryan also co-wrote songs for other artists, including Billboard charted songs like "No Way To Treat A Lady" for Bonnie Raitt and "Don't Let Him Know" for Prism. His second LP, "You Want It You Got It", was issued in 1981 and contained two local hits "Lonely Nights" and "Fits Ya Good". Among the tunes he cut was a Disco number called "Let Me Take You Dancing", that, after being sped up to a dance tempo, reached the Canadian RPM chart in March, 1979.Īdams's self-titled debut album was released in February 1980 and would be certified Gold in Canada in 1986. Later that same year, Adams was signed to A&M Records for a recording contract that included a signing bonus of one dollar. In 1978, Bryan met songwriter/drummer Jim Vallance, late of the Vancouver based band Prism, and formed a songwriting partnership that would prove highly successful. After recording one unsuccessful album, "If Wishes Were Horses", Adams left the group after less than a one year stay. By 1976, Bryan had become the vocalist for a Vancouver Glam/Rock band called Sweeney Todd, who had earlier topped the Canadian charts with a song called "Roxy Roller", that featured singer Nick Gilder. Known as a member of country’s elite headliners, Aldean’s past tours are nearing legendary status as he is one of the first of few acts in the genre to sell-out multiple stadiums including UGA’s Sanford Stadium, Fenway Park and Wrigley Field.Ĭontinuing success outside of the music industry, Aldean recently launched his latest collaboration, Wolf Moon Bourbon, an 80 proof bourbon that has been distilled from Midwestern grains and aged for four years offering a finish of caramel, oak and spice.Born Bryan Guy Adams on November 5th, 1959 in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, his parents, Elizabeth and Conrad, had moved from Plymouth, England to Canada in the 1950s. Notably, all seven of Aldean’s previous studio albums have been certified platinum, while bolstering 15 billion streams and more than 20 million albums sold. But after all that time, he continues to hold his ground making modern albums with an old-school soul - most recently with his ninth studio album, 9, which debuted at the top spot on Billboard’s Country Albums chart. Aldean’s helped bring a few out of the shadows, making the mainstream’s first contact with hard rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”) and R&B (“Burnin’ It Down”). The exclusive purchase also includes the ability to watch Aldean’s 90-minute set for 24 hours after the show.Īfter almost 15 years at the top of his format, the three-time ACM “Entertainer of the Year” has seen trends come and go. Both shows are sold out, but tomorrow’s (May 15th) show will be livestreamed via Veeps. This weekend, Aldean returns to the stage with two headlining performances of Jason Aldean: Live at The Bonnaroo Farm in Manchester, TN.
