To his credit, Sambora's solo work often aims to distinguish himself from the towering shadow of Bon Jovi. His latest effort, "Aftermath Of The Lowdown," arrived in 2012, just before he left Bon Jovi. The record sounds very contemporary with a nice mix of ballads and rockers, and it features Roger Manning (Jellyfish) on keyboards. I'm puzzled why "Nowadays" was not chosen as a single - it is one of the best cuts he has ever done.

"Nowadays" by Richie Sambora
Richie Sambora has released three solo records outside his tenure with Bon Jovi, but only managed to secure a single chart appearance. That happened when "Ballad Of Youth," from his debut record, reached #63 in 1991.

"Fighter" by Kane Roberts
Kane Roberts was a sought after studio musician in the 80s working for artists as diverse as Alice Cooper and Rod Stewart. He also tried his hand at making it big as a solo artist. His debut self-titled album went nowhere, but his follow-up LP, "Saints And Sinners," pulled in some heavy hitters like Desmond Child, Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, and Diane Warren. Together, they scored Roberts his one and only charting single, the power ballad "Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?" which peaked at #38 in 1991.
Roberts couldn't sustain this success and quickly faded away. His record was filled with potential rock anthems that were big in the late 80s, so maybe he was a day late and dollar short. "Fighter" was one that stood out to me.
