    At Least Bon Jovi is smart enough to market their music towards people with really low standards. But who am I to argue, the album's #1. Doesn

    I received this cd yesterday. I have to admit that I love it as much as I have loved any of Bonjovi's music. Fantastic music. I'm glad that Jon is not sitting on his laurels and is still bringing out great songs.

    Rock ain't about playing loud, rock MUSIC is about playing music, doing it softer sometimes, blending with different horizons. And Bon Jovi did it and still sounding like Bon Jovi. Ain't that amazing, I think a lot of newcomers (and one hit wonders most of them) are jealous of this band.

    I was a little apprehensive - love Bon Jovi for making me rock - don't care much for country - but LOVE this album! I put it in my car when it came out in June and haven't stopped listening to it yet. It's the first album in years that I liked instantly beginning with the the title track and all the way through to Love This Town. Sure hope they play Boston on this tour.

    some songs like "till we ain't strangers" is a 10. die hard fan willing to listen to a bit more twang coupled with a even better Jon voice. Go maturity!

    Not a return to the glory of their heyday, but still better than what they've put out lately. Bon Jovi is getting older, and the Americana he puts into this CD allows him to mature without losing the hooks.

    Amazing CD. Every song is great. I listen to it at least 3 times a day. I can't get enough of it. I can't wait to see them live in Newark, NJ.

    I must admit a guilty pleasure in actually liking the few tunes that Bon Jovi has penned in the past which fall in the area code of country-rock, so a new album comprised entirely of such offerings is fine by me. At least he's moved on from the poseur and vapid Cock Rock which made him famous and into other realms. This shows balls, if not some naivete. But Lost Highway is not art I must admit a guilty pleasure in actually liking the few tunes that Bon Jovi has penned in the past which fall in the area code of country-rock, so a new album comprised entirely of such offerings is fine by me.

It's a meaningful attempt to branch out with his talent and broaden his appeal, and you can't fault the guy for the attempt. Now if he can only get Richie Sambora's attentions away from the latest Bimbo of the Month and on to his acoustic guitar, then he might really be on to something.… Expand

    If 80's Bon Jovi time traveled to 2007, they would kick new Bon Jovi's ass. That's all I can really say.

    Lost Highway is a nice country album, I love it. With Lost Highway, Bon Jovi proves the fact that they don't have to be loud to be good. Their lyrics are, as usual, awesome. (You Want To) Make a Memory is, for a single, dissapointing, but the rest of the album is pretty cool. The title track is quite cool. We Got It Going On and I Love This Town are the best songs of the album. TheirLost Highway is a nice country album, I love it.

    .13 Brainless Bon Jovi "fans" In lower case and quotation marks!!!.

    That have close mind & think that Bon Jovi is only great when they did Hard Rock songs... Yes!!! Bon Jovi was and is great at Hard Rock songs in their 80's & 90's, but Bon Jovi still doing great & amazing songs out of Hard rock In this great Country Rock album. or in most "pop rock" albums like Have a Nice Day, Crush,    .13 Brainless Bon Jovi "fans" In lower case and quotation marks!!!.

    mais una prueba que Bon Jovi, tener talento para hace de tudo, Lost Highway es un excelente disco no solo country, pero como un álbum en si.

    lindas canciones por todo o álbum, mesmo tener la mejor pontuacion un poco subestimado pelos criticos

    Underrated for 12 people who doesn't accept that Bon Jovi, Is Excellent even with a Country Album!!!!

    The Songs are Excellents such as The Last Night, Everybody's Broken, Summertime, Lost Highway, One Step Closer, Whole Lot Of Leavin' & Any Other Day

    Accept is More Easy, The Album is Trash, Just because don't have Rock songs??? Come On...

    Lost Highway recalls nothing so much as a latter-day Bon Jovi record in how it balances fist-pumping arena anthems with heavy doses of sentiment.

    Lost Highway isn't "Bon Jovi goes country" so much as a meaningful tribute to the Nashville ethos done on their own terms.
