Richie Sambora: New Solo Album Coming Spring 2012


While Bon Jovi fields death rumors (yes, he’s alive and well), his lead guitarist Richie Sambora is starting work on his third solo album at Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood. According toBroadcast Newsroom, Sambora has tapped Luke Ebbin, who manned the boards for Bon Jovi albums "Crush and Bounce", for the project.

“Richie and I have worked on and off together for years,” Ebbin told Broadcast Newsroom. “Richie came off the Bon Jovi tour energized and we got together to write a couple of songs. The results were very good, so we kept writing more and decided to go in and record them.

“The recordings came out great, so Richie decided why not make this a solo record? There are eight songs in the can now, including a co-write with Bernie Taupin...”

Sambora’s first solo release was 1991’s blues-based "Stranger in This Town", and he followed up that with 1998’s "Undiscovered Soul". Ebbin says the guys have started round two of sessions and hope to have the full album done by early spring.

    2. Did anyone slate Jon for his solo efforts or acting roles?? Even David Bryan has his own agenda with his work on The Toxic Avenger....Tico is an artist.....
      Richie is an individual and a musician in his own right, and damn good too. I have seen him live on his solo tour but I have also seen him with Bon Jovi. Let's face it Jon wouldn't be Jon without a Richie, and Richie wouldn't be Richie without Jon! These guys will have their own successes but they got to the top together. I live eat sleep breathe Bon Jovi but I absolutely cannot wait to hear Richie's album!
      Oh and if he hadnt had such a long time between solo albums we wouldn't have the Bon Jovi records we have to date and where would Bon Jovi be then?
      Rock on Richie!!!!!!!
