DeBaser reviews emphasize Jon Bon Jovi's strong solo turn on Blaze of Glory with western and singer-songwriter influences. Early-era compilations (The Power Station Years) are seen as solid AOR/pop-rock. Reviewers highlight tracks like Blood Money and Santa Fe as standout moments.

For:Fans of classic rock, Bon Jovi listeners, readers interested in solo work and early 80s AOR.

 Blood Money, a brief acoustic ballad of just two minutes in which Jon delivers a chilling vocal performance, with a certainly touching text about the subsequently betrayed friendship between the film’s protagonists, Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid, while the sweet guitar notes accompany his voice in a crescendo of intensity and passion.

 In reality, inside Young Guns II, the only song from the album used in the soundtrack was Blaze of glory: a western song born from the famous Wanted dead or alive, not inferior, in my opinion, to the aforementioned: Jon delivers a chilling vocal performance, supported by the magical guitar of the great Jeff Beck and the thunderous drums of Kenny Arnoff.
