Lost Highway
Given the chart success of their Grammy-winning country single "Who Says You Can't Go Home, " it's no surprise Bon Jovi upped the ante by recording an entire album paying homage to Nashville. In some ways, it's amazing they didn't do this sooner, given the way Keith Urban in particular is blurring country-pop lines, much as Garth Brooks and others did in the 1990s. To their credit, you won't find predictably shallow invocations of past country icons or any self-conscious, in-your-face down-home twang added strictly to remind the listener of the musical premise. In fact, Lost Highway isn't "Bon Jovi goes country" so much as a meaningful tribute to the Nashville ethos done on their own terms. They honor the spirit of the town through 12 simple, direct originals. The intimate, smoldering "(You Want To) Make a Memory, " the ballad "Seat Next To You, " "Lost Highway" and its roaring celebration of freedom, and "Stranger, " an effective duet with LeAnn Rimes, all invoke country's spirit, and "I Love This Town, " an eloquent nod to Nashville itself, ties it together admirably. --Rich Kienzle Binding Audio CD.
