布莱恩·亚当斯第17张专辑11月6日发行：12首歌写给加拿大，数字版多收一首《安大略湖》
跟进：加拿大摇滚传奇布莱恩·亚当斯的第17张录音室专辑《近来可好》（How's It Goin'）将于11月6日通过自家厂牌 BAD Records 正式发行。本站10月30日已报道专辑先行单曲《安大略湖》引发的讨论，本周专辑全貌揭晓。11月5日恰逢亚当斯67岁生日。
专辑源于亚当斯为纪录片《加拿大的狂野东缘》创作音乐的邀约，后扩展为一整张以加拿大人物、风景与历史为题的作品，被他称为「写给祖国的情书」。实体版收录12首歌，包括讲述国民长跑英雄特里·福克斯的《特里·福克斯之歌》、取材1812年战争的《伦迪巷之战》、《柴油与泥土》《铁丝带》与同名主打歌；数字版多收一首附赠曲目《安大略湖》，共13首。
除《安大略湖》外，另一首《第51州》已于7月1日加拿大国庆日发行，亚当斯在全球巡演中每晚演唱均获全场起立鼓掌。新专辑被 BBC Radio 2 选为「每周专辑」，发行形式包括 CD、黑胶（含红白泼墨限量版）与附 CD、歌词和照片的 A4 精装书版本。
现年67岁的亚当斯出道近五十年，全球唱片销量超过1亿张。他近日受访时还谈到与两个十几岁女儿的家庭生活与圣诞传统，称这张专辑是他最个人化的一次创作。

Bryan Adams' 17th Album How's It Goin' Arrives November 6: Twelve Songs for Canada
Follow-up: Canadian rock icon Bryan Adams releases his 17th studio album, How's It Goin', on November 6 through his own BAD Records. GSM reported on October 30 on the debate stirred by the advance single "Lake Ontario"; this week the full album arrives, one day after Adams's 67th birthday on November 5.
The album grew out of music Adams wrote for the documentary Canada's Wild Eastern Edge and expanded into what he calls a love letter to his home country. The 12-track physical edition includes "The Ballad of Terry Fox," honoring the national hero, the War of 1812 story "The Battle of Lundy's Lane," "Diesel and Dirt," "Iron Ribbon" and the title track; the digital edition adds "Lake Ontario" as a 13th, bonus song.
Another track, "51st State," was released on Canada Day, July 1, and has earned nightly standing ovations on Adams's world tour. Named BBC Radio 2's Album of the Week, the release comes on CD, vinyl including a red-and-white splatter LP, and an A4 hardback book edition with the CD, lyrics and photographs.
Adams, who has sold more than 100 million records across nearly five decades, has also spoken this week about family life with his two teenage daughters and the family's Christmas traditions, calling the record one of his most personal statements.
