Description

You Want It You Got It is Bryan Adams second solo album, and was released in 1981. This was the album that established the sound that Adams has retained throughout his recording career. Unlike the debut album where Adams and Vallance played most of the instruments themselves, You Want It You Got It was recorded live in the studio. It was recorded and mixed in NYC over a two week period during the spring of 1981.
The first single “”Lonely Nights”” broke out of the Northeast of America long before it broke anywhere else, partially due to a couple of late night DJs working in Rochester, Albany and Syracuse. Within a few months the album had been picked up across the country and Adams was soon on tour doing clubs and noon hour concerts for radio stations, as well as support to such acts as The Kinks and Foreigner. Two further singles ‘Coming Home’ and ‘Fits Ya Good’ were very well received, the latter becoming Adams’ debut Top 40 hit in Canada.
It was the shape of things to come, for as momentum increased, so did the touring. Although the album was only marginally successful, it laid down the groundwork for the forthcoming album Cuts Like a Knife.
In later years, many of the songs were recorded by other artists. Some examples are “”Jealousy”” by Prism, “”Tonight”” by Randy Meisner, and “”Fits Ya Good”” by Tove Naess, to name a few.

5.0 out of 5 stars Be careful what you Want, cuz you are about to get it!,
Bryan, like Michael Bolton, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart and others, has since sold out and become a ballad singer, but this proud album reflects a very different approach. His talent is showcased here in the song-writing, the raw rock and roll sound and his trademark voice. It a real treat to play “”Fits Ya Good”” for those who do not expect to hear a thunderous rock assault from present-day wimp Bryan Adams. If you gravitate toward that live-in-the-studio sound without the over-production, you need this album in your collection.


5.0 out of 5 stars Giving The People What They’d Come To Want,
A good dose of musical ideas were tried on the Bryan Adams. I think it good for a pop artist to start out this way. Gives the artist a chance to find out what style of music works best for them. In the case of Bryan Adams here it would seem he made that choice rather quickly. His career would be that of a mainstream, guitar based pop/rocker. But not an uninteresting one at that. Even though there more of a musical focus here, there still that learning curve present where he still tinkering about with the production of his music. Also of course it still the height of the new wave era at this point. He got a full working band that, at this point included GE Smith helping Bryan out on some guitar. So for the guitar rockers out there, this has a lot of good things to talk about.

“”Lonely Nights” “One Good Reason” “Don’t Look Now””, “”Tonight””, the title song and “”Last Chance”” are all equally superb heavily reverbed, catchy new wave type guitar pop songs. They rock but in a very poppy sort of way. There are two ballads here, again of the more piano driven, stripped down and mildly R&B/singer-songwriter inflected type than he’d later become known for, on “”Don’t Look Now””, actually a favorite song of mine here and the album closer “”No One Makes It right””. “”Fits Ya Good”” is the heaviest number here, with more of a harder riffing rock thud to it than one might normally think of with Bryan Adams but it has a strong groove too. “”Jealousy”” has this rousing full band sound that allows Bryan inner Bruce Springsteen to come into play a great deal.

So yes to a degree there is a tad bit of Bryan being mildly imitative here and somewhat bound by his influences. At the same time what he does with them is very likable. His voice is raspy but gentle. And it higher pitched than say…Eddie Money who, by the way I also appreciate as a pop/rocker. In the coming years with his growing success, Live Aid and such we’d also begin to learn what a basically benevolent spirit Bryan had. You can here some of that here in to a degree. Of course he has a comfortable amount of basic rock rebellion in him so he not a “”softee”” haha. On the other hand romance, friendship and life do seem to matter a lot to him. And he has a love of all of them expressed with that youthful enthusiasm of someone just starting there career. An excellent pre-hit period Bryan Adams album, particularly for those who like his more guitar based music.”
