Lost Highway is the tenth studio album by American rock band Bon Jovi, released on June 19, 2007, in the US through Island Records.

I'd like to give a couple of Nashville songwriters a chance to shine, and Richie and I would write a few songs to prove we could hold our own with these guys.

"[4] Band members went to Nashville in September 2006. and by December they had written, recorded and prepared for mixing ten out of twelve songs.

"If someone had said, You're going to write a record in September, having come off the road in August," noted Bon Jovi in 2007, "I would have said no, because I wasn't going to repeat the mistake of Slippery into New Jersey.

Watching the sadness, compounded by these newfound freedoms for Richie and Dave as individuals, make me think about what we should write about.

Band members stayed at Hermitage Hotel where Bon Jovi and Sambora wrote songs for the album.

Shanks produced and also co-wrote "Lost Highway", "Summertime", "Whole Lot of Leavin'", "Everybody's Broken", "The Last Night" and "One Step Closer".

"We Got It Going On" is song that was written after Jon Bon Jovi met Big Kenny and John Rich in a bar.

"Till We Ain't Strangers Anymore" is a song that was originally cut in a lower key to suit a male vocalist.

As a part of the seminar, the band performed a private concert at Nashville's Cannery Ballroom for about 400 invited country programmers.

The footage aired before games between the Dallas Desperados and the New York Dragons, and the Chicago Rush and the Kansas City Brigade.

The first single of the album, "(You Want to) Make a Memory", was released on radio stations on March 20, 2007. and on the same day it was put on a stream on the band's official website.

[15] On June 24, 2007, Bon Jovi opened The O2 Arena in London and played concert which coincided with the release of this album.

[18] Stephen Thomas Erlewine from AllMusic gave the album 3 stars out of 5 stating that "Lost Highway recalls nothing so much as a latter-day Bon Jovi record in how it balances fist-pumping arena anthems with heavy doses of sentiment".

[19] Helen Groom from BBC gave positive statement about the album saying that "Lost Highway hasn't lost any of the huge sing-along choruses that has made Bon Jovi one of the largest stadium rocking bands in the world, but to their credit, they are trying something a bit different at the same time as giving their fans what they want".

[20] Karen Shoemer from Blender gave the album 3 stars out of 5 saying that "Luckily, Bon Jovi's country-music move yields just... one irritant".

[22] Nate Chinen from The New York Times gave a positive statement about the album saying that "[It] yield[s] unsurprising but reasonably strong results".

[24] Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone gave the album 3 stars out of 5 stating that "Lost Highway moves in on Nashville as shrewdly as "It's My Life" skimmed Stockholm seven years ago".

Music UK gave the album 7 stars out 10 saying that "Love it or hate it, "Lost Highway" will be joining supersize 7-11 sodas and loud bumper stickers as the accessory of choice for drivers across America this summer".

[26] After its first week on sale, Lost Highway entered the Dutch, German, Swiss, and Japanese album charts at No.

This is the fourth such time, breaking The Beatles and the Bay City Rollers' record as a Western band (under Oricon's definition) of having three number one albums in the country.
