Bon Jovi has told Rolling Stone that on their next album they will go back to rock and roll. Today we learned when the returning to their roots will happen when Bon Jovi announced that the release date for The Circle, their next album, will be November 10th.

The first single entitled “We Weren’t Born To Follow” made its radio debut yesterday and featured an anthemic chorus. You can hear it at the Island Def Jam website.

The Circle is a follow up to the band’s country infused and platinum selling album, Lost Highway. Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi’s guitarist, said to Rolling Stone that he thinks what happened was they made a record that was Nashville influenced and that had created a vacuum for a big rock record. He added that there was a continued evolution and that The Circle didn’t sound like any of their previous other records. Santana also said that everyone who they had played it for had really been turned on by it, and that they were very happy about how it had turned out.

The Circle finds Bon Jovi teaming up again with the producer John Shanks, whom they have worked with previously on Have A Nice Day (2005) and Lost Highway (2007). Sambora also said to Rolling Stone that Bon Jovi would tour to promote their new album at some point during Spring 2010 and promised that it would be a big one.
