Free Music Review: Lost Highway Delivers
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm beyond relieved that this album received great reviews. When I first read the online reviews of the disc, many were disappointed that Bon Jovi had ventured away from his hard rock image and slowly slipped into an experimental country sound. I'll be the first to say that this isn't my favorite Bon Jovi album by a long shot, but it's still an excellent release. You can't expect a CD recorded in the heart of Nashville to escape without a hint of country between the lines. I like the direction Jon went with this album. I'm hoping someday he goes back to the rock that made him an American icon, but change is never a bad thing with such a multi-talented artist. Musically, it delivers... Vocally, it delivers... and lyrically, it is without a doubt some of his most clever and intelligent writing.
Fortunate enough to be from New Jersey, I got to see Bon Jovi for the first time last month, and he is nothing short of phenomenal. I saw him on his 10 show run at the new Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, and he tried to do something different at every show. The night I went, he played the entire 'Lost Highway' album start to finish, something he's never done before (he played 31 songs altogether), and the next night (my sister went) he played an acoustic version of "Bed Of Roses" and went down into the crowd.. He is worth every penny in concert and I would highly, highly recommend seeing him if you ever have the chance.
As far as this album is concerned, these are my song ratings:
1) Lost Highway: 9.5/10 (2nd Single)
2) Summertime: 9/10
3) (You Want To Make) A Memory: 9/10 (1st Single)
4) Whole Lot Of Leavin': 9/10
5) We Got It Going On: 10/10
6) Any Other Day: 9.5/10
7) Seat Next To You: 7.5/10
8) Everybody's Broken: 7.5/10
9) Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore: 9.5/10 (with LeAnn Rimes)
10) The Last Night: 7/10
11) One Step Closer: 8.5/10
12) I Love This Town: 10/10
It's the first album since 'New Jersey' to debut at #1, but sales have been down somewhat, so at a very reasonable $10, the album is well worth the purchase. For some, it may not quench the rocking Bon Jovi thirst, but with time comes change, and talent doesn't disappear. Jon Bon Jovi is still one of the best in the business and his music will live on forever.

Free Music Review: Great CD!!
Hit: 4 Stars
This cd stayed in my car player for a couple of weeks, before I could bring myself to change it out. 'Make a Memory' is an incredibly beautiful song and sentiment, with a message about hope for a previously lost love. Being a LeAnn Rimes fan, I love the duet 'Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore'. 'Everybody's Broken' is both sad and encouraging at the same time. Bon Jovi has the ability to write songs that, if really listened to, can touch the hearts of many people. I would recommend this cd to anyone who enjoys Bon Jovi and listens to the words of songs.Free Music Review: WOW ANOTHER GREAT CD

Hit: 5 Stars
I was never a big fan of Bon Jovi but after hearing Lost Highway, I am convinced that they are highly talented and creative enough to pull off a country inspired cd. The music is country twanged but just rock and roll enough to blend the two genres. I love every song on this cd and would recommend it highly. You will not be disappointed!!Free Music Review: Great CD, but...
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, "Lost Highway" is a very good Bon Jovi cd. They can do no wrong, in my book. However, I'm still wishing they'd do a cd's worth of material that harken back to the "Bon Jovi" and "7800 Fahrenheit" albums. I miss the raw, rock sound they did so well.
