Artist: JON BON JOVI
Album: DESTINATION ANYWHERE (CD)

Year: 1997
Media type: CD

Destination Anywhere is Jon Bon Jovi's second solo album released June 17, 1997 and features music from the short film "Destination Anywhere" released in the same year. The album follows his successful 1990 soundtrack Blaze of Glory, from the film Young Guns II. The production is quite different from the classic rock norm that is a staple of past Bon Jovi albums, with drum loops, female backing vocals and Bon Jovi himself singing in a lower register in most of the tracks. Only one of his longtime bandmates, David Bryan, contributed to the album, though Desmond Child, co-writer of hits such as "Livin' on a Prayer", plays the tuba in the song "Ugly" and is also one of the producers.

The album charted at #31 on The Billboard 200, #6 on the Top Canadian albums chart and #2 on the UK Albums Chart. The first single "Midnight in Chelsea" was Bon Jovi's highest-charting solo single in the UK, reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart. Also charting in the UK was the second single "Queen of New Orleans" at #10 and the third single "Janie, Don't Take Your Love to Town" at #13.
