Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I was a hair band fan from way back and always loved Bon Jovi. What I always loved about the Hair Band days was the power ballad. The power ballad always had the strong hook and most importantly the strong lyrics. As the hair bands faded, I found what I loved in Country music. The strong hook and the powerful lyric, has been present in Country music for a long time. I am not a fan of some of the old time Country, but I am in the newer Country. Bon Jovi has taken that New Country in this albumn and even taken it further. This has the same Bon Jovi feel that I have always loved, yet it has that Nashville feel. I know there have been very personal feelings in the lyrics of this album from what has gone on in Sambora and Bryant's personal lives. That has just cemented the greatness of this. "A Whole Lot of Leaving Going On" totally exemplifies this. I am still proud of my Hair Band loving roots, and this album shows the growth of not only Bon Jovi as a band, but myself as a person also. The party anthems are still here, and it is great to have a country flavor to them. What else could you ask from Bon Jovi?

"Artistic freedom made this record possible," says Jon BonJovi. "Musical freedom to explore--and emotional freedom to express whatwas in our hearts."The result of that freedom is Lost Highway, an album Jon describes as "aBon Jovi record influenced by Nashville."Bon Jovi explains. "Nashville is all about songs and songwriters. If you'resomeone like me who loves songs and hanging out with songwriters, Nashvilleis the place. I thrive on that feeling and I'm inspired by that creativeambience."The result, a haunting set of 12 new and original sounding songs, is astunning, multi-layered look into the nature of love and life in all itsglory. Love, like life, is lost, found, forgotten and reclaimed in thiscollection.The moods are many, but the core feeling is pure Bon Jovi."Writing this record with Jon was deeply cathartic," says Richie Sambora,who collaborated on ten of the songs. "I was going through emotionalchanges that were new for me. An ailing father. A painful divorce. Thestart of a new chapter in my life.I poured everything I had into thisproject, every last bit of soul at my command.""For over twenty years now," Jon explains, "Richie and I have been closecollaborators. Even when our songs create fictional stories, they revealour states of mind. To a large degree, Lost Highway focuses on the lightthat love brings. When you shine the light on love, you see the chinks inthe armor. You see every crevice, every crack. And that's all right".Lost Highway is Bon Jovi's tenth studio album since the band formed in theearly eighties. One hundred and twenty million albums and 2500 concerts inover 50 countries later, Bon Jovi is enjoying the greatest popularity intheir history.
