What happens when Richie Sambora steps out of Bon Jovi to spread his wings on his own?In 1991, Richie released Stranger in This Town, his first solo album. 35 years later, we’re revisiting the record to talk about what we thought of it when it came out, how we feel about it today, and how well it has aged.We also discuss Richie’s recent claim that the record was sabotaged by the label so he would have to return to the “mother ship” — Bon Jovi.Was Stranger in This Town an overlooked solo classic, or did it deserve the reaction it received? And was there really something bigger going on behind the scenes?Let us know what YOU think of Stranger in This Town!#RichieSambora #BonJovi #StrangerInThisTown #HairMetalPlease Like, Subscribe, & HYPE!!
