Take it for what it's worth but when Jon was asked by a local Nasville TV station on the CMA's red carpet about them making the record in Nashville and how everyone was wondering if it was a "country" record Jon said "its a Bon Jovi album... people connect to the lyrics not the type of music"

The country genre has broadened so much. If you look at songs from the Eagles like Desperado, Take It Easy, Lying Eyes, etc, or songs by John Mellencamp that's more what the current country sound is like. There is still some super twangy stuff but not like it used to be.
