Santa Fe

Heehe..for me, DA is the only albums that I never get sick of. I have always loved it.

In all the songs people have listed from BOG, noone has mentioned Billy Get Your Guns. I love that song. It's so full of mischief.

Don't dare to say against DA :P

I think all the songs in BOG are really great classic. But santa fee is fav song on the album along with miracle, bang a drum, never say die..

Awesome song...one of those rare times [not a 'one off', but rare], when Jon has written something that makes him a great songwriter as opposed to a good songwriter. For me, that's the quintessential difference in the two...a great songwriter has the ability through words, to paint a picture so powerful, that you do not only feel it, but in your mind's eye, you see it. Santa Fe is a song that does exactly that.
Now...if that passion and belief have emerged from where they have been having a hibernation of late, and have made their mark on the new album......roll on whatever day, month for that album.

Will say it again if I have to!

Destination Anywhere is one of my fave albums ever, and Blaze Of Glory is great to, though I've always preferred DA.

I absolutely know that is it not the common opnion but i AGREE TOTALLY with you I love Detination Anywhere it's very different from what we heard from Jon or the band before but I love it ... I am never tired of listening to it ....

but to come back to the thread I love Santa fe it's really a wonderful song my favorite one from BOG .... I love both Jon's solo album but BOG is IMO too much of a western movie soundtrack sometimes I am just not in the mood (great album but i am not ok for cow boys songs all the time ) ... it never happen for DA I admit

I don't think Jon gets enough respect for trying something different with DA. He could have quite easily put out an album that was no different to a band album, but he didn't take the easy route. It might not be to everyones taste but in my opinion it was a better album than for example Richie's Undiscovered Soul, purely because that was so 'middle of the road'.

Aloha !

So it's better because it's different? Undiscovered Soul and Destination Anywhere can not be compared to eachother, they're different albums in different styles.

Absolutely! And I don't dislike it because it's different - it simply doesn't mean anything to me, I just can't relate to ir or whatever. I don't think it's a bad album, but to me it's pretty boring. I only like Janie, Destination Anywhere and August 7. Sometimes - rarely- I'm also in the mood for It's Just Me and Every Word. But I'm just not to keen on that album anyway.
