Reckless (1984)
The album that catapulted Bryan into worldwide superstardom. Released on his 25th birthday in November '84, this as they say is "all killer and no filler". 10 songs of the very highest quality of Bryan at his absolute best. The one all others try to surpass and surely one of the greatest albums of all time.

This album made Bryan a household name everywhere. No more so than in the USA where he was the biggest he's probably ever been there. Early bootleg recordings of that time capture BA in places like Madison Square Garden rockin' out to screaming teenage girls... it was almost Beatlemania all over again.

Written with Jim Vallance and produced by BA and Bob Clearmountain the album sold by the bucket load. It became the first Canadian album to reach Diamond status in Canada and went #1 around the world selling a staggering 12 million units and counting. Infact when BA was touring the UK throughout the 90's it regularly charted in the top 20.

On November 1st, 2004 at the end of his UK Tour in Cardiff, Wales... Bryan played the entire 'Reckless' album from start to finish in recognition of the fact it broke him in the UK. It was a great show... to read a review click the '20th anniversary' banner below.
