So Far So Good offers up 13 of his previous hits plus a new song Please Forgive Me a gooey Michael Bolton-like ballad. The album starts out with Summer of 69 the appealing autobiographical song about the 10-year-old Adams learning to play his first guitar in Ontario and includes (Everything I Do) I Do for You the synth-laced ballad that wound up in the Guinness Book of World Records after topping the British singles charts for 16 weeks. With it s over-the-top gravelly vocals So Far So Good reminds one of Rod Stewart s 1980s work when he was coasting on past achievements. Unfortunately Adams has never had a period like Stewart s glory years in the 70s.
