Richie Sambora Taking Different Direction On New Album Says Orianthi

(TeamRock Radio) Former Bon Jovi man Richie Sambora has taken a country direction on his upcoming album with Orianthi, she's revealed. The guitarists have been a couple since meeting backstage in 2013, and began working on the duets record last year, along with producer Bob Rock.

Fomer Alice Cooper band member Orianthi tells Rolling Stone: "I'm a big country fan. The great thing about country songs is the storytelling. They're really moving and well-crafted, and that's something Richie and I wanted to explore."

The album doesn't yet have a title or release date, but it's described as a "vocal and guitar-driven" work. "There are songs where I'm singing and he's backing me up, and vice-versa, and songs where we're singing together," Orianthi says. Read more here.
