New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi issue a new album titled "This Left Feels Right," which features acoustic reinterpretations of the group's greatest hits, on Nov. 4.

According to a press release, the track listing includes "Born To Be My Baby," "Keep the Faith," "It's My Life" and "Wanted Dead or Alive."

"We went into the studio thinking we were making an acoustic record," vocalist Jon Bon Jovi said in a statement. "We had a definite idea of the record we were going to make. But once we began experimenting with the songs and trying out new ideas we created a very different, unique album. We made a complete left turn and took the project down a different road."
