CD Description
On this, his second solo album, Richie Sambora attempts to step out of the shadow of his vocalist/movie star co-writer.He does a fine job of it, as his singing and guitar playinghave definitely evolved from his earlier work. UNDISCOVEREDSOUL is a very personal, heartfelt album full of emotion and passion. The album consists of mostly mid-tempo, acoustic-based songs, going more for feel than flash. In other words,Bon Jovi fans shouldn't expect any lighning-fingered, '80s heavy metal solos here. Improving upon his blues-based debutrelease, Sambora combines the aforementioned mid-tempo tunes with soulful ballads. He has lined up a stellar band to get the job done, including Kenny Aronoff (arguably the finesttechnical drummer in rock), Don Was (who also produces), Billy Preston and Chuck Leavell. All in all, an excellent sophomore effort from a guitarist who deserves his time to shine.

Customer Reviews

Undiscovered Talent
Having seen Bon Jovi numerous times, there is no doubting Mr Sambora's talent as a guitarist, but this album puts all past attempts to shame! Fantastic from beginning to end, it proves Richie has far more singer/songwriting talents than previously acknowledged. From track 1 Undiscovered Soul will have you singing along and feeling great, a much more upbeat vibe going on than on Stranger. One of those great albums that stays on a constant loop in the stereo - nice one Richie, here's to more solo projects!!

you won't regret it
Having found Stranger in This Town, and loved it I wanted more Richie Sambora. I found Undiscovered Soul and it confirmed what I already knew this man is a mastercraftsman. A little more rocky and edgy than " Stranger " it shows that not only is Richie a superlative muscician but that he is a far better songwriter than Jon Bon Jovi. When hearing a JBJ song it is instantly recognizable but Richie can turn his hand to any style and does. My particular favourites are " if god was a woman " (he has a good sense of humour) and " Harlem Rain ". While " Made in America " is obviously autobiographical. the guitar work is superb and the voice strong confident and just down right brilliant. I play this album constantly along with Stranger in This Town. I am no big Bon Jovi fan but Richie Sambora I would love to hear more of. Anyone who can move me in the way he does is worth listening to I can not rate this album too highly. Get it you won't be dissapointed.

One song was all it took.......
What can you say about this album? There are no words to describe it! I bought "Stranger In This Town" and i was pretty surprised by it, then i bought "Undiscovered Soul" and i was blown away. I had always been a huge Jon fan, but all it took was for me to listen to "All that really matters" and i was converted! This album out shines all the Bon Jovi albums and indeed Jon Bon Jovi's two solo albums. If you think all Richie can do is play guitar then you couldn't be more wrong. This album shows his guitar skills at their best and not only that it shows the strength and depth of his voice. I must have listened to it a thousand times, but even now it stills sends shivers down my spine! It is now my favourite album of all time. It never leaves my stereo. Richie has been overshadowed by Bon Jovi too long, this album shines the spotlight where it is most deserved.
