After having a number one single with their “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” duet that Bon Jovi did with Sugarland last year the band headed to Nashville to cut a new album. It was the first time that a Rock band every had a number one country single. And that single earned the group a Grammy and a People’s Choice award. Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi has always loved the lyrical content of Nashville songwriting. So the band decided to release a whole album in that direction.
Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora headed to Nashville where they had been coming for 20 years to make an album. They had no idea what they were going to end up with while they were there but the finished product is definitely an album folks will be talking about for years to come.
The band was inspired by the Nashville scene. Nashville is the number one music town and they just loved the collaborative efforts and co wrote songs with many different songwriters. They truly enjoyed the fabric of the Nashville community.
We had to find an album that made a statement that didn’t pander or didn’t seem like a carpet bagger. Jon says that they made a Bon Jovi album influenced by Nashville.
The first single that they released is “(You Want To) Make a Memory”. That single is being played on radio stations across the country and was just a preview of what this new album would sound like.
They had artistic freedom and that opened up a floodgate of material. The band worked with Dan Huff who is one of the top country producers. The band split the tracks and did 6 tracks with Dan and 6 tracks with their regular producer.
This album definitely falls into “new country”. It’s rocky, driving, fun and the songs have great messages. On this album is a duet with Leann Rimes “Til We Ain’t Strangers Anymore and a song with Big & Rich on of today's Hottest Country bands that breaks all the rules in Country music. ”.
Lost Highway is the name of Nashville record company. Jon said that Lost Highway represented freedom and going on a journey. Richie says hit the gas and not the and Jon says that Lost Highway is wide open road and space and that it represents where they are going.
The songs on this album include:
“Summertime”
“Any Other Day”
“Seat Next To You”
“Everybody’s Broken”
“Til We Ain’t Strangers Anymore”
“The Last Night”
“One Step Closer”
“I Love This Town”

This album hits stores today and is definitely a must have.

Unprecedented National Coalition Will Work to Recruit Caregivers in 'SiCKO Scrubs' to Attend Each Film Premiere Theater Nurses and Doctors Begin Bus Tour Monday to Build Support for Campaign CANTON, Mass., June 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Planning to spark a fundamental change in national healthcare politics, nurses from Massachusetts and throughout New England have joined an unprecedented national coalition of nurses and doctors organizations which today announced plans to rally around the openings of Michael Moore's "SiCKO" on June 29 to press the campaign for single-payer healthcare, guaranteeing comprehensive, quality healthcare with an expanded and improved Medicare for all. The Coalition is also planning a special preview screening, town hall meeting and press conference with Michael Moore as part of the national "SiCKO" bus tour, which will land in Manchester, New Hampshire on Friday, June 22, beginning at 12 noon. Calling it "The Scrubs for SiCKO Campaign," organizers will recruit registered nurses and doctors to every theater in the nation where "SiCKO" opens to ensure that caregivers -- in SiCKO scrubs -- are in the audience. The caregivers will distribute information and urge moviegoers to join the drive for a fundamental overhaul of the nation's dysfunctional healthcare system -- as is so brilliantly described in "SiCKO". They will urge the audience to help pass single-payer/Medicare for all types of legislation such as HR 676 now pending in Congress and several states, and make it a central focus of the Presidential campaign. Nurses and doctors are serving as co-hosts of "SiCKO" premiers across the nation. Participating groups include the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee, Physicians for a National Health Program, New York State Nurses Association, Massachusetts Nurses Association, United Steelworkers (USW) Health Care Workers Council, Communication Workers of America, Health Professionals and Allied Employees/AFT, United Nurses and Allied Professionals (Rhode Island), United Nurses and Allied Professionals (Rhode Island), and the New England Nurses Association. The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions is also working with the coalition. A delegation of nurses and doctors from across the country will embark Monday on a tour of East Coast cities to help energize the nurse grassroots. The tour will mostly take place in a colorfully wrapped bus encouraging people to see the movie and is being planned in conjunction with premiers of the film in New York, Washington DC, Chicago and New Hampshire. Tour Comes to Manchester New Hampshire Friday, June 22, 2007 12 Noon - Screening of "SiCKO" at Palace Theater in Manlchester, NH 2:15 p.m. - Town Hall Meeting with Moore and RNs, Physicians, Patients 3:30 p.m. - Press Conference with Michael Moore "SiCKO" profiles a number of Americans with insurance who have been denied needed care by their insurance company, describes how the insurance-based healthcare system is structured to keep it that way, and provides examples of other industrialized nations where insurance companies do not stand in the way of medical care. The campaign will highlight the need for reforms that prevent insurance companies from denying care, and send a strong signal to politicians in Congress, state capitals, and the Presidential race who are promoting insurance-based reforms. HR 676 and similar bills in several state legislatures, including SB 755, the Massachusetts Healthcare Trust bill, will have one public entity collecting and dispensing all revenues for care delivered by our current, mostly private hospitals, clinics, and doctors, similar to how Medicare works. The system is universal, assures comprehensive benefits, guarantees freedom to choose your provider, and controls costs. It also drastically curbs administrative costs -- and the waste caused by insurance company profits and paperwork.  s.server=server() s.channel="News Release" s.pageName="Nurses, Doctors Announce 'Scrubs for SiCKO' Campaign in Conjunction with Debut of Michael Moore's Film to Spark Genuine Healthcare Debate" s.prop2="ind_focus.story" s.prop3="06-18-2007" s.prop4="" s.prop5="" /************* DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE ! **************/ var s_code=s.t();if(s_code)document.write(s_code); //-->
