Bon Jovi: Jon likes Billy Falcon

This was posted on FB earlier today:

Billy Falcon is not only one of my favorite guys, but he was—and is still—one of my favorite songwriters. i dare you NOT to be moved by his lyrics. we have collaborated many times not only for my records but we have written songs for other artists who have found that special something in the song. Find Billy's new album "WHEN". you can thank me later...jbj

Billy is opening up for Bon Jovi at the RBC Center in Raleigh.

And here's some info on Billy:


Nashville singer-songwriter Billy Falcon is set to appear as rock band Bon Jovi’s special guest during a Feb. 21 tour stop in Raleigh, N.C., in celebration of Falcon’s new solo album, When.

“Billy Falcon is not only one of my favorite guys, he was — and is still — one of my favorite songwriters,” said friend Jon Bon Jovi. “We have collaborated many times, not only for my records, but we have written songs for other artists who have found that special something in the song.”

Falcon has co-written more than a dozen songs on the past six Bon Jovi albums, and Jon Bon Jovi and band member Richie Sambora contributed to songs on When. The solo album is available digitally now on iTunes.

Falcon and The Sowing Circle play regularly at Nashville's Blue Bar (1911 Broadway); their next scheduled appearance is tomorrow (Jan. 20), starting at 9 p.m.

For those of us who have been fans of Bon Jovi for decades Jon was on his album Pretty Blue World (I even think Jon released it on his now defunct record label JAMBCO [Jon Anthony Matthew Bongiovi, Get it!])

This was the song I remember:



 Here are some of the songs you may have heard:

When We Were Beautiful [Billy Falcon Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora]
Superman Tonight [Billy Falcon, Jon Bon Jovi]
Love's the Only Rule [Billy Falcon, Jon Bon Jovi]

And When we Were Beautiful is on his new release.

If your interested in Billy Falcon's music you can buy it from Amazon (shameless promotion),
