This Left Feels Right - Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi released 'This Left Feels Right' in 2003. I would describe it as an acoustic version of some of their greatest hits. Being a fan of Bon Jovi, I bought this album without hesitation, and was quite excited about listening to it. The album came about as the band thought about doing something different for the fans.
