i really dont know what happened, was it Jon pushing the band back together or lack of promotion, but IMHO with this records Richie could have reached far wider (adult) audience, outside Bon Jovi fans if he had been able to tour & promote the album.

It is a strong one. I find 7/10 songs A+ and top notch. Only Church of Desire, Rosie and River Of Love aren't my favs....but considering the album as a whole, they are important part of the sequence.
I agree... it wasn't lack of promotion and Jon had no fault to do with this one... Richie had 2 or 3 singles and videos. He was on a bunch of talk shows promoting it...Jon even showed up at one of his gigs...

If you are not a Bon Jovi fan, then the album is just okay... It really doesn't appeal to the radio masses... I'm surprised it didn't win any major Awards.
