This album means so much to bon jovi fans. It represents that jon isnt the ony musical genius in the band. Richie Sambora is no slouch himself and he proves it with this album.it has all the makings of a classic. great lyrics, great vocals, great string arrangements by fellow bon jovi member david bryan, great drum work by ticco torres also of bon jovi.Richie sambora showed a little of his ability on the bon jovi classic wanted dead or alive but he really let it out on this album.songs like church of desire the answer and one light burning are dark bluesy tunes while song like ballad of youth and rosie are boastfull rock songs. all in all this album was one piece of great blues/rock.
