Richie Sambora fans can expect to hear the former Bon Jovi guitarist moving in a country direction when his album of duets with Orianthi arrives in stores.
As Richie Sambora's absence from the Bon Jovi lineup grows longer, the prospect of a reunion seems less and less likely -- but in a recent interview, Sambora insisted that it's still very much a possibility.
Bon Jovi may be appearing without him on the "Because We Can" tour, but it's former guitarist Richie Sambora who seems determined to showcase an amazing versatility: Recent Australian shows saw him performing solo tracks and songs he hand in writing with Bon Jovi, of course, but also covers by local heroes like INXS and Midnight Oil - and even Prince.
The war of words between Bon Jovi and the band's exiled guitarist Richie Sambora has cooled off over the last several months, but that doesn't mean Sambora has made peace with the idea of the group touring without him.
