The Story Behind: Bryan Adams - Reckless, Ep. 279 — 1001 Album Complaints

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Bryan Adams was gigging successfully in the Vancouver scene at age 15 and he eventually became the first Canadian artist to sell 1M copies in his home country. Rob, Tom, and Adam get together to discuss 80s pinch harmonics, hair metal ballad formulas, and the factory approach to songwriting.
