Bon Jovi
This Left Feels Right

( Island )


Review by Linda Laban


Friday, November 14, 2003

There are those who thought Bon Jovi's power rockers and ballads were histrionic enough already.

Not so the New Jersey boys. ``This Left Feels Right,'' a supposed acoustic album, turns their best-known songs into symphonic meisterwerks (``It's My Life''), new age-y folk sagas (``Lay Your Hands on Me''), swinging jazz-blues (``You Give Love a Bad Name''), and dance-r & b slow jams (``Livin' on a Prayer,'' a sultry duet with actress Olivia d'Abo).

Ultimately, ``This Left'' will feel right to confirmed fans who don't mind hearing their favorite anthems rethought in a smooth way that all but nixes the rock side of things.
