To coincide with his solo album Aftermath of the Lowdown, Sambora and friends performed as the house band on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on CBS for one week (December 3–7, 2012). [30] Several guests sang along with the band over the week, including Ferguson (singing Sugar Daddy), [31] Denis Leary, Eddie Izzard and even Larry King, who sang the Late Late Show theme song. [32] Stranger In This Town is a song about myself,” Sambora said on the Deluxe CD interview, “because I’m being a stranger in almost every town every time I’m on the road. But also there’s an element of the homeless situation in there, which is something that almost is kind of a guilt thing that was happening with me. I wake up in the morning and I do have a nice home, and… well, I’m never there, but I do have a nice house! And being in New York and seeing the homeless situation and stuff like that… That was kind of the blues that I was singing about. Just a little bit of confusion, you know. And then I started to realise that everybody get the blues, and it has nothing to do with economics or money. It’s just… people have the blues. Robert Johnson said it with two sentences: “I love my baby. My baby she don’t love me.” That’s the blues. It has nothing to do with money, you know. So I found the blues, and that’s where it comes from.” Following the last tour date in Mexico in February 1990, the band members just dispersed and went home individually. There was no tour wrap party or celebrations of any kind, and hardly any goodbyes were exchanged. They did not even have any plans for their future. They just desperately needed to get away, and even to consider a future at that point was too much. Australiancharts.com – Richie Sambora – Stranger in This Town". Hung Medien.

Stranger in This Town is the first solo studio album by Richie Sambora, the guitarist from the New Jersey band Bon Jovi. The album was released in 1991, while Bon Jovi was on a 17-month hiatus. Jon Bon Jovi also released a solo album, Blaze of Glory (1990), during this period. Larry King sings Ferguson's theme song with Sambora (video)". CBS.

So, not a song about a poor girl, but a song of hope and how you can rise up no matter how far down you started.In any case, with three Bon Jovi members on board, people would be justified in wondering how different this project would sound from the mothership. As it turned out, when the Stranger In This Town album was released on 3 September 1991, it was very clearly not a Bon Jovi album. It showed a lot more musical diversity, featuring songs that displayed different styles and moods. The typical Bon Jovi stadium anthems with singalong choruses is not what this album is about. It features more inward-looking, retrospective, emotional (often sad) material, and very personal lyrical content. Sambora would later describe the album as 90% autobiographical. Ballad of Youth", "One Light Burning" and "The Answer" were co-written with colleagues from his former club band Shark Frenzy. "Rosie" was originally intended to be a Bon Jovi song for their fourth album New Jersey; versions of this song with the full Bon Jovi line-up have surfaced as bootlegs.
