Rough Town is a 1994 album recorded by French singer Johnny Hallyday. It is entirely written in English to win over the anglophone countries, with the title track written by Bryan Adams. It was released in September 1994 and achieved success in France, where it debuted at the top of the charts on 2 October 1994, but dropped just after and stayed for nine weeks on the top 50 chart. It provided two singles in France, "I Wanna Make Love To You" (#18) and "Love Affair" (#35), a duet with Kathy Mattea. The album was also released in Germany, but was unsuccessful in this country. The video for "Love Affair" was directed by Dani Jacobs, filmed in Nashville and features Johnny and Kathy Mattea who duets on this track. Rough Town is Johnny Hallyday's ever last album in foreign language.
