Stranger In This Town

Product Information

Occasionally, "Stranger in This Town" has been played by Sambora on Bon Jovi's tours, most recently on their Lost Highway Tour in 2008. Sambora certainly regarded the album as a success. “The success of this project does not rely on units sold, I don’t think” he told Ina.fr. “What I tried to do here was not to follow a formula. It was an artistic endeavour where I diversified. It took me a little while to record this record because I was trying to grow as a writer, artist, and performer. There’s different facets of this record that I had to become accustomed to. I played many different and new styles with new guitars, and it took me a little while to become good at that, to progress, but it was a progression. I don’t think there’s anything detrimental about [not living up to Bon Jovi’s success]. I think the album was a needed growth, actually. That’s how I see it.” The songs on this record were written out of different emotions,” Sambora said on an interview CD included with the deluxe version of the album. “And when I write, I write from an emotion. It comes from something deep in here, and then I can colour that emption with music and lyrics.”

She not only stayed alive, she turned her hard beginnings around, became self sufficient, successful and someone with respect for herself. She didn't let the naysayers and judgers stop her. She's the one sitting in the drivers seat at the end. Having the album hit the Top 20 in the UK and Top 40 in the US is obviously not bad, but compared to Sambora’s main band (and the performance of bandmate Jon Bon Jovi’s solo album – UK #2/US #3) it is definitely a more modest result. It should be kept in mind that the album wasn’t a high profile release, and depending on your view you could equally argue that it was a failure (as an album from a member of one of the world’s most popular bands) or a success (a low-profile release of introspective songs created with no thought of getting hits). Just listening for the 784,654th time....and it's just perfect in every way. Just incredible. The only reason it was remade was to scoop up a boatload of money from a more modern and accepting audience. But it is a completely different song than the other one that sounds slapped together in a few takes without a thought for the meaning.entrepreneur, Jennifer Kushell Social; author; Impact, Global Workforce Evangelist Dedicated to Making an (March 28, 2008).

There was no tour wrap party or celebrations of any kind, and hardly any goodbyes were exchanged. They did not even have any plans for their future. They just desperately needed to get away, and even to consider a future at that point was too much.
