More '11' news - along with the release of the album, a DVD is coming out featuring Bryan playing all the tracks off the album live. Discs like these are sometimes packaged with the album as a bonus disc or limited edition. Only time will tell how and when this will be available. The UK version of the CD will have a 12th bonus track called 'Way Of The World'. The tracks written with Jim Vallance are 'Tonight We Have The Stars', 'Flower Grown Wild' and 'Walk On By'. The UK tracklist now looks like this: Tonight We Have The Stars For a great interview with Bryan
on the new CD, click here go> 'BA songs wins a Grammy!' - yep thats right, 'Never Gonna Break My Faith' won a Grammy (on 10/02/08) for 'Best Gospel Performance'! The track penned by BA & Eliot Kennedy and performed by Aretha Franklin and Mary J Blige was written for the film 'Bobby'. '11' album to have bonus tracks - as well as the now confirmed tracklist we posted (below), the official site has confirmed there will be an extra bonus track on the UK version of the disc (thus giving the new CD 12 tracks), plus more extra bonus tracks on iTunes. '11' tracklist order change - play.com and amazon have now amended their listing of '11' and put the songs in a new order. The tracklisting is now as follows: Tonight We Have The Stars Confirmed '11' tracklist? - the following tracklist has started to appear on a couple of internet mail order sites. Make of it what you will... if this does turn out to be the final tracklist... at least we guessed a couple of them right! Apparently Bryan plays guitar on all tracks along with bass. Jim Vallance & Pat Steward return to guest on drums and of course Mickey Curry. Colin Cripps also guests on guitar alongside Keith Scott. (Cheers to Stefano) I Thought I'd Seen Everything
New album tracks? - While doing research for the new single on ascap.com, we noticed other new songs we hadn't seen before. To the casual fan you may see 40 plus songs you have never heard of. So as it's online for everyone to see anyway, we thought we'd try and narrow down an album tracklist. We weren't going to, but as forums have started noticing this tonight - why not. Many of the songs on there are really old songs written with Jim for example for the 'Lost' album (pre 'Waking') or just songs written for other people ('Keep Talkin' for Lulu) - and songs done by BA and just never used ('Cry', 'Invincible', etc). However - some are new and unaccounted for, and when you have collaborations with Eliot and Mutt on the same song - it's a very good chance thats new material - especially when it's listed as BA singing the song (as all these are). Once again, it's not the final tracklist it's just us guessing, none of this is confirmed & none of these songs could end up on the CD. Apparently the finished article will have one or two tracks more anyway. Just make of it what you will... Back Slider (written with
Gretchen Peters) Thanks to Karl Watson who narrowed this down while the rest of us were at work! Source: ascap.com

BA's 'Portfolio' Exhibition comes to Yorkshire - Visitors to a historic house in North Yorkshire this spring will be among the first to see a stunning collection of photographs entitled Portfolio, by musician and photographer Bryan Adams. In the first showing of the exhibition in the UK, the Adams photographs will go on show at Nunnington Hall near Helmsley in May. With his recently released Anthology of music written in the last twenty five years, Adams divides his time between music and photography. His photographs have been seen recently in both British Vogue and i-D. This recent portfolio of his work was released by Stern Magazine in Germany. The thirty works that make up Portfolio, and going on show at Nunnington, reflect the scope of Bryan’s work from the formal, to more candid moments captured by his lens. The breadth of people he has photographed is a testament to the esteem that Bryan is held in as photographer. Models to actresses, musicians to royalty - all have all been the focus of his attention. Mickey Rourke, Ray Charles, Jill Hennessey, Helena Bonham-Carter, Keith Richards and Pink feature alongside Tony Blair, The Pope, Barbara Cartland and The Queen. Nunnington Hall’s Property Manager Simon Lee says, “I am really delighted that Bryan will be exhibiting with us this year. Portfolio is such a stunning body of work. I am confident our visitors are going to really enjoy the opportunity of seeing Bryan’s photos, and it’s great that they can be seen here in the north. The show has previously been in Rome and Slovenia and after us will go on to Budapest. We are really look forward to giving people the opportunity to see some of his work this spring.” The exhibition opens on Tuesday 1st May and will run until Sunday 10th June, coinciding with Bryan’s UK tour. Bryan will be playing in a number of cities across the UK in May. Venues in the north include Manchester MEN Arena on May 8th and Sheffield Arena on May 12th.
