Bon Jovi: "Lost Highway"

[singingsparrow]

Although it isn't explicitly indicated that it'll also be released to the US, on a video message provided on the bonjovi.de. site forum, Jon Bon Jovi announces this title track will be the second single from "Lost Highway".

Also, the promotional TV ad for the album here in North America features the band only playing two songs; the current single "(You Want To) Make A Memory" and "Lost Highway". Even though this doesn't necessarily mean it's a legitimate single, I have seen the promo adds on television for previous Bon Jovi releases dating back to "Crush" and have never seen them play a song on there that wasn't released as a single at some point ("Misunderstood" was featured in the "Bounce" promo, which ended up being the follow-up single to "Everyday" from that era)

If this indeed is the second single (Wikipedia also is stating it as the second single, even if not necessarily a most credible source) I think it'll perform relatively well, though I'd argue "Any Other Day" would make a stronger single overall and "Summertime" and "Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore" would make better singles for Country.

Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

It's the second single. John said in an interview with the The Mix that they're shooting the video here in Chicago. :)

That's interesting... here in Canada, "Summertime" has been sent out to radio stations...

It's pretty high on the VH1 countdown...it's an alright song - don't think it'll do anything special though unless a country singer remakes it (or joins him on a new version)

Not the best choice for the 2nd single from that album but it's still Bon Jovi so i guess i doesn't really matter

I heard it on WINC today. Another great Bon Jovi single. :)

Does this remind anyone else of "Learning the Hard Way" by The Gin Blossoms?

This is gettin a better start at CHR than their last single

Never heard that one...but this song def. reminds me of a lot of tracks by Tom Petty on the "Into The Great Wide Open" CD

(Sorry third post in a row for this song)

Watched the video the other day and realized he must have been "inspired" by "Life Is A Highway" by Tom Cochrane...actually I think the similar analogy might hurt JBJ's song, esp. since "Life Is A Highway" is replayed so much - the videos even look visually similar

I don't really love any of the songs on BJs new cd, however I bought it because I love the band, always have...and want to support them anyway I possibly can.
