Bryanissimo!

"Fans of Bryan Adams will know that "I'm Ready" was taken as an upbeat single from the album "Cuts Like A Knife" and re-recorded for the "Unplugged" album with a more intimate feel. Bryan has now recorded an Italian version of the single based on the "Unplugged" version.Zucchero (remember him, Paul Young fans) a popular Italian artist has re-written the words for this track (in Italian, of course!) and has done a reasonable job of making the single sound Italian. Listeners to Italian artists, such as Eros Ramazotti, Zucchero and the like will appreciate the hard but soft sound to this single.Having spent some time appreciating modern Italian pop (some good, some awful) and having seen Bryan in concert in Rome, I can say that Italians love the man! This new mix of an old song has turned another corner for the Adams/Vallance hit-making studio, offering Canadian rock to the inamorati in their own language.Definitely worth your money if you like Bryan's music and love Italian!"
