Jovitalk - Bon Jovi Fan Community - New Bon Jovi Album: This House Is Not For Sale (2016)

I don't recognize Gorley and de Stefano

Brett James co-wrote What Do You Got and Til We're Not Strangers Anymore with Jon and Richie. There may be others, but those two are off the top of my head.

Billy Falcon is the one you referred to who co-wrote Life is Beautiful, WWWB, and a bunch of others (Fingerprints, maybe; I get him and Shanks mixed up without checking).

Shanks you probably know.

And I think someone said that Desmond Child co-wrote Rage of Angels.

Oops I didn't clarify, I meant the ones who are not part of the usual team: Stefano, Gorley and James

Now I know who James is, I didn't make the connection

Interesting, all of them are mainly known for country songs. I'm guessing they are acquaintances of Billy Falcon since he is based on Nashville? Or has the band talked about them before?

Songs written by Ashley Gorley:

Songs written by Brett James

Songs written by Chris DeStefano:

I may be the only one in the current Dry County audience who recognizes many of these titles/artists. I don't think many of the fans who listened to country are still around. *feeling a little lonely here*

Are most of those songs country? It's what looks like.
Why would Jon collaborate to write "hard rock" songs with country songs writers? Unless....

...unless only 4 of the 17 tracks are co-written with these "country songs writers" ;) I'm not against having a few "country-tinged" tracks here and there. What's Left of Me was one of the highlights from WAN for me. Hopefully we won't need to compare THINFS to WAN though.

I guess only time will tell!

Just because Jon is writing with other "country music artists" doesn't mean that the album is going to have a country sound. Now your thinking what about Lost Highway, well that was the sound Jon wanted to go for then, I think Jon working with these country artists was more for the songwriting than country sound, Country music songwriters are known for writing deeply personal songs, sometimes writing from there own experiences in their lives, so maybe Jon wanted to write with songwriters who can help him find a way to get out his feelings on paper, maybe Jon early on struggled with that, who knows, a little help doesn't hurt.

A country song writer co-wrote Work for the Working Man. Not a country song. People are being way too close minded with what a country song writer can and can't write. The country sound boils down to the production, something the co-writer will have NOTHING to do with. If involving a country co-writer with the album means well written songs then hell, I'll take 16 tracks of it.

And if you can see that the road is leading into a wall or over a cliff -- turn back.
