Ritchie Sambora - Stranger in this Town

Great blues rock album with a Clapton and Allman Bros influence.

Always wanted this one, but never got around to buying it.

I've seen it in the used bins countless times, but never bothered to pick it up. Something bothers me about a goomba from Jersey putting out a blues album. He has no soul.

He does a good job on that Heaven & Earth album singing When a Blind Man Cries.

I forgot about that. I suppose you're right. Ehh, I dunno though. One track is not a whole album. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. I guess the proof is in the pudding (mmmmmm, pudding). If I find it in the dollar bin, maybe.

Richie's solo albums are really good. His videos are really bad.

I have Richie Sambora's " Stranger in this Town" and it is ok. He tries to come off as an 80's version of Eric Clapton which is not a bad thing but unless you are a die hard Bon Jovi fan it is not an essential release.

It has its moments but overall the album tends to bore me near the end, the one postive thing I can say about this album is that the man himself Eric Clapton appears on the song "Mr. Bluesman" doing a cameo guitar solo.
