Cuts Like a Knife, Bryan Adams's third album, came out on A&M Records in January 1983, and it's the one that finally broke the Canadian singer-songwriter wide open in the United States and back home. Adams is credited as producer, and the record plays like a man who knows exactly what he wants out of a rock song.
That means ringing guitars, a raspy, straining voice and choruses built for car radios. Three singles did the heavy lifting: the ballad "Straight from the Heart", his first US top-ten hit, the swaggering title track and "This Time". Together they made him a mainstream name, and the album went top ten, setting the table for Reckless the following year.
