Bon Jovi's album with Nashville flavor · 2007-04-16 13:36
The new Bon Jovi’s single “Make a Memory,” which previews the band’s June 19 Island/Mercury Nashville release “Lost Highway,” debuted at No. 39 on Hot Country Songs earlier this month and is currently No. 35.
Jon Bon Jovi is quick to clarify that “Lost Highway” is not a country album but a “Bon Jovi record influenced by Nashville.”
Six of the tracks were produced by John Shanks, and six – including “Make a Memory” – by Nashville’s Dann Huff.
The result is a collection of songs that strike a perfect balance – rock enough to appeal to longtime Bon Jovi fans, yet with a Nashville flavor that should satisfy country fans who loved “Who Says You Can’t Go Home.”
Among the more upbeat fare on the record is the title track, which was featured in the John Travolta motorcycle comedy “Wild Hogs.”
“We Got It Going On” is a duet with Big & Rich that is serving as the theme song for the Arena Football League season on ESPN, while the catchy “I Love This Town” celebrates the frontman’s enthusiasm for Nashville.
