I've been a Bon Jovi fan since 1986 I think, but when I heard this album I was just blown away. This is not only my favorite Jon Bon Jovi album, but one of my all time favorites. I know Jon was inspired by the film in the first place but he just went so beyond that. I was living in the States when this songs became the soundtrack of everything that was going on with my life back then. The lyrics are very deep and can be applied to many situations in life, not just old western movies. Jon's singing is also one of the highest in his career, and you know he has very high standards. Each and every song on this record is so relevant and well written, it is just unbelievable that all of them fit so well in a whole package. Billy get your guns is a rocker that puts you in the right mood to listen to Miracle, I felt Jon captured a latin feel with this one, something that was not really expected. Blaze Of Glory, what else can be said? if you can't be touched by this one, you are probably dead already, The guitar solo is so perfect, Jeff Beck did an amazing job on this one (and the rest of the songs too), I mean, I love Richie Sambora, but he cannot top this solo on his performances with the band, Beck is a master and every note he plays goes so perfect with the song, he captured exactly what Jon was talking about. I think a lot of people over look the great contributions that the artists that played on this record did to the production. I mean, Jeff Beck's work on this one is huge, his tone and style make every song reach a whole new level, I love Beck's solo work, but when his great guitar talent is mixed with Jon Bon Jovi's singin and songwriting, it fires up a real magic that will last forever.
Blood money is a certain choice to play when you feel alone sitting on a mountain or something like that, it is a beautiful song and the lyrics are so powerful.
Santa Fe, I think words can't say enough about how I feel when I listen to this song, I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written, and that is a lot!! The lyrics are profound, meaninful and touching, and the melody, the singing, the arrangements, everything is just perfect on this song. I think Jon Bon Jovi will never be able to top this one because it just can't be better, there are just a few songs that you can say that have all the parts fitting perfectly, emotion, performance, lyrics, everything. I just can say no more about how great this song is.
Justice in a barrel is one of my favorites too, watch out that Jeff Beck solo, it starts on acoustic guitar and then goes electric with his classic tone, I just can't get enough of this.
To sum it up this is a record that you never get tired to listen too, and when you listen to it carefully it gets inside your feelings like no other. It is a shame that even Jon Bon Jovi seems to have forgotten this record, well, he's done some amazing job after this, but he hasn't achieved this level of greatness. There is a time in every songwriter's life that the light of music touches him or her very deep and achieves music heaven, I think Jon really did it with this one, it is too bad that this light don't shine the same way twice.

An Excellent Solo Effort From Bon Jovi's Frontman

Stripped down a bit, a lot more "earthy," Jon Bon Jovi's "Young Guns II" album is a nice breakaway from his efforts with the band that bears his name. Fans of Bon Jovi, however, will find plenty to enjoy in this album. For starters, the raucous "You Really Got Me Now," has an excellent "jam session" feel to it. "Miracle" and "Never Say Die" give the listener a light dose of what made Bon Jovi tunes like "Born To Be My Baby" so much fun to listen to. Then there are tunes like "Blood Money" and "Bang A Drum" that herald the coming Americana sound that Bon Jovi would play more of with their later albums.
Last but certainly not least, "Blaze of Glory" sounds like a hairband tune soaked in whiskey and left out over night. It's the highlight track on the album and it alone makes this one worthy of purchase. Also included is Alan Silvestri's "Guano City," a passable track from the score of the film.
Overall, this is definitely a keeper for fans of Bon Jovi or anybody who enjoys grittier rock. Recommended. |
