Bon Jovi Lost Highway CD Review

Bon Jovi Lost Highway CD Review
by Clyde Lee Dennis

One word describes the CD Lost Highway from Bon Jovi... AWESOME!

It's a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I'm more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Lost Highway has a pleasantly varied, mix of 12 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly outstanding musicians. With many of the songs displaying a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Overall Lost Highway is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Heavy Metal collection. Truly an outstanding Heavy Metal CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 3 - (You Want To) Make A Memory, track 5 - We Got It Going On, and track 9 - Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 11 - One Step Closer. It’s a great track!
