 (7 Customer Reviews)
In the years since breaking out of New Jersey's bar-band scene, Jon Bon Jovi's group has sold millions of records and become a household name. DESTINATION ANYWHERE reflects Bon Jovi's creative growth since his 1990 solo album BLAZE OF GLORY. Collaborating with a mix of producers including rave scenester Steve Lironi, Dave Stewart, ex-Hooter Eric Bazilian and hit doctor Desmond Child, Bon Jovi maintains his knack for writing catchy material while gilding the edges with sampling, drum programming and other textures not normally associated with his music.
Bon Jovi often wears his influences on his sleeve; "Janie, Don't Take Your Love To Town" resembles Oasis' "Don't Look Back In Anger," and the lonely cabbie in "Little City" could have been a character in a Springsteen song. But "August 7, 4:15" (about the murder of his manager's daughter), shows an urgency and dramatic flair unlike anything else this aspiring actor has ever written.

Melody Maker (6/28/97, p.49) - "...fantastic album of classic rock songs with a Nineties twist...shoots off, wheels spinning, with a triple jump right over rock's stagnant waters."

It's actually the best 90's album...I know...misses Richie Sambora, but It's not the classic BJ album...It's a new shape of rock! Modern rock that should be played more even now!

Great Body of Work...
Despite the dopey DVD movie tie-in, concept, etc. The songs do stand on their own. Every Word is a pretty good little gem. Ugly is a simple, but effective tune that tells a nice story.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No my favorite "bon jovi" album
this CD is f-ing awesome from start to finish. i loved it in 1997 when it came out and it still has that same punch today. this was the last album that he did that i really liked, and it was just jon solo. it's really too bad that it was pushed off and overlooked because it's a great album that i really wish the whole band would have taken on because richie is awesome and i think his playing is the only thing that could have added to the greatness of this album

2 LPs on 1 CD. Originally released on Decca in 1967 and 1968.
A reissue that combines 1967's Another Side of Rick and 1969's Perspective onto one CD. By 1967, Nelson's records were no longer selling, and were out of step with contemporary trends. So, why not, someone must have reasoned, try to put Nelson in step with contemporary trends on Another Side of Rick? It was about as good a strategy as any, considering that his tried-and-true rockaballad format wasn't working. But giving him fruity psychedelic baroque production was not the answer, indeed yielding rather embarrassing results. Nelson showed good taste by covering three Tim Hardin songs, but producer John Boylan's five songs not only weren't that good, but weren't a good match for the vocalist. Nelson wasn't totally blameless, penning one of the album's crummiest songs, the overdone pop psychedelic "Marshmallow Skies," with James Burton. At one point during the cover of "Georgia on My Mind," the musicians suddenly slip into double-time, as if they can't wait to get the album over with. Although released in February 1969, Perspective had actually been recorded 16 months earlier, an indication that Decca wasn't exactly eager to keep Nelson in the forefront of the market in the late '60s. Like Another Side of Rick, this found him making ill-advised efforts to modernize his sound with a more orchestrated production that often verged on the rococo. Nelson did have good taste in selecting material, covering songs by Paul Simon, Richie Havens, and Harry Nilsson, plus five by Randy Newman to end the album. Producer John Boylan added most of the remaining tunes, including the odd "Hello to the Wind (Bonjour Le Vent)" (co-written with Nelson), which, with its Burt Bacharach-type piano-based melody and brief interlude of spoken female French narration, might find a comfortable home on some lounge music reissue. ~ Richie Unterberger

LET IT BE...NAKED contains a FLY ON THE WALL bonus disc including song rehearsals and conversation snatches.
Includes liner notes by Kevin Howlett and interview excerpts with The Beatles
In its original form, LET IT BE signaled the end of an era, closing the book on the Beatles, as well as literally and figuratively marking the end of the '60s. The 1970 release evolved from friction-filled sessions the Beatles intended to be an organic, bare-bones return to their roots. Instead, the endless hours of tapes were eventually handed over to Phil Spector, since neither the quickly splintering Beatles nor their longtime producer George Martin wanted to sift through the voluminous results.
LET IT BE... NAKED sets the record straight, revisiting the contentious sessions, stripping away the Spectorian orchestrations, reworking the running order, and losing all extemporaneous in-studio banter. On this version of the album, filler tracks ("Dig It," "Maggie Mae") are dropped, while juicy b-side "Don't Let Me Down" is added. The most obvious revamping is on the songs handled heavily by Spector. Removing the orchestrations from "The Long and Winding Road" and "Across the Universe" gives Paul McCartney's vocals considerably more resonance on the former, doing the same for John Lennon's voice and guitar on the latter. This alternate take on LET IT BE enhances the album's power, reclaiming the raw, unadorned quality that was meant to be its calling card from the beginning.
Generally regarded as the Beatles' last album, LET IT BE was actually recorded in 1969, before the recording and release ...
