Yes he's canadian.I dont like this 90's stuff,but for everyone who's a fan of the 80's..Reckless is a great album.Steal it if you must.It doesnt have those sugary ballads that are associated with him everytime.It has a pretty neat 80's sound to it.And Heat Of The Night is a brilliant song.His sugary ballads tick me off..i hate everything i do,please forgive me,a night to remember etc,but from a strictly 80's perspective,he's pretty good.
