About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Abandoning his rough-and-ready rock & roll band, Jon Bon Jovi took a stab at respectability with this non-soundtrack to the film Young Guns II. Given his cowboy songs on Bon Jovi albums, it made sense that he'd be "inspired" by the Western, and he filled these songs (written without the help of bandmate Richie Sambora or hired hack Desmond Child) with references to shoot-'em-ups. Mainstream rock producer Danny Kortchmar put together the studio band, along with guest stars Jeff Beck, Elton John, and Little Richard, and the sound had more space and less drive than the lite-metal of Bon Jovi. Unfortunately, that kind of approach puts the spotlight squarely on the singer/songwriter, and Jon Bon Jovi wasn't quite up to the scrutiny, writing dumb lines like "Tell my guns I'm coming home" and "I been broke and hungry/I think they're both my middle name" in a context in which you could actually make them out without the lyric sheet. The New Jersey cowboy tried to howl his way through, and his still-faithful fans dutifully bought the record, but Jon Bon Jovi wasn't really ready to carry off a starring role without his usual supporting cast.

September 07, 2002: Great movie! Great Soundtrack. If anything could make this music better it is the presence of Emilio Estavez, Lou Diamond Phillips and the amazing Kiefer Sutherland offering cameos on the album. The music speaks for itself, however. Billy Get Your Guns is a rocking hit; Miracle and Santa Fe tell the pain of loss; Blood Money is an homage to Bob Dylan's Knockin on Heaven's Door; Bang a Drum (also a tribute) tells a powerful message of hope; The rest of the songs on the album are a mix hits that make you dance, cry and think about just how talented Jon really is. This album rocks!
