Lost Highway is the title of the tenth studio album by Bon Jovi. Described by Jon Bon Jovi as "a Bon Jovi album influenced by Nashville", the album influences the band's rock sound with that of country music following the success of a country version of the band's 2006 single "Who Says You Can't Go Home", a duet with Jennifer Nettles, which reached #1 on the U.S. country chart in May 2006.^[1]

Following the success had with the duet version of "Who Says You Can't Go Home", there are two songs on the album produced in collaboration with other artists, namely "We Got It Going On" featuring Big & Rich and "Til We Ain't Strangers Anymore" featuring LeAnn Rimes.

The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, becoming Bon Jovi's first ever album to debut at #1 and their third album to reach that position after Slippery When Wet in 1986 and New Jersey in 1988.^[2] The album also debuted at Number one in Japan. This is the fourth such time, breaking the Beatles record of having three number one albums in the country.^[3]

The album has been nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album, which will be awarded during the 2008 Grammy Awards.

Main article: Lost Highway Tour

In the summer of 2007, Bon Jovi performed ten concerts around the world as part of the Lost Highway promotion, with plans for a full greatest hits world tour in 2008. However, after Lost Highway did better than expected, the world tour was moved forward to the fall of 2007, and was renamed the Lost Highway Tour. The tour so far consists of ten dates in New Jersey, followed by Canadian and Japanese tours, as well as the band's first ever concert in New Zealand. The band then tour the U.S. (with one more date in Canada) in spring 2008 followed by a U.K. tour in June 2008. Further legs, including a European tour, are still to be announced.
