 | Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Cougar Camp at its best:When I get a really good cd, I always pass it on. So, this is the second or third time I have bought this cd. I love it! The only thing that could have been better would be including the acoustic verison of "Small Town"! |

Description: The Best That I Could Do collects the singles that led John Mellencamp into the radio/jukebox pantheon he celebrated in "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and "Cherry Bomb." While albums such as American Fool, Uh Huh, and Scarecrow held Top 10 spots for months, their spinoff hits made this... |
 | Scarecrow [Read More ...]
Review: Don't Forget A Forgotten Classic:Looking back on my high school years, Scarecrow was one of the most popular and prevalent albums to be released in the 80's, along with Springsteen's "Born In The USA" and, unfortunately, Michael Jackson's "Thriller." (not my thing)

Review: THIS IS HIS BEST: Don't get any better then this. Mellencamp had his his own style.....Everybody loved it ,AND the VIOLIN. BUT,BUT,BUT...Why he changed his style from this album, no-one will ever know. IT's NEVER BEEN THE SAME. It's like BABE RUTH, giving up baseball. Man , I mis... |
 | Trouble No More [Read More ...]
Review: Original Americana:Although all the songs here are covers of American standards dating back to the rough and tumble depression era - there is nothing dated about the music. Mellencamp is at his finest honey-tinged growl throughout and the tunes will stay with you much longer tha... |
 | Human Wheels [Read More ...]
Review: The Best Of A Great Career:Mellencamp had gone through a significant number of ups and downs in his career to this point. He had worked hard to become a big star and arrived as a pop rock star in the early 80's, and progressed to being a working man's hero by the latter part of ... |

 | Rough Harvest [Read More ...]
Interesting for Mellencamp Fans:This is a CD probably for Mellencamp fans only. It's a new take on some great songs. Some of the new versions are outstandings. Some are just okay. I really applaud his effort to take a chance and put out a CD like this one. |
 | Big Daddy [Read More ...]
Review: An Equal to the unending strength of his entire catalogue:Americana, frankly, at its best. Thats what I feel when listening to a John Mellencamp record. JM is at a minimum, truly an equal to any of the greatest writer/ singers, if not the greatest, in my opinion. Comparisons are ... |
 | 20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection [Read More ...]
cool Collection:John cougar Mellencamp was one of those acts who always kept a cut and made his thing work. He had a cool Middle of the road vibe and he had the right songs for the time. R.O.C.K in the Usa,jack and Diane, Smalltown were all the cuts as was Pink Houses. this is a cool compilation. |
 | Uh-Huh [Read More ...]
Originally released in 1983. Features newly remastered sound and upgraded packaging which includes lyrics and complete artwork. Bonus track is the acoustic version of "Pink Houses" (first issued as the b-side of "Authority Song". |
 | Uh-Huh [Read More ...]
Description: "Pink Houses" is the state-of-our-union anthem that John Mellencamp likes to boast about, but the real class-awareness beef of 1983's Uh-Huh is in "Authority Song" ("Call up my preacher... / He said, 'You don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son'")--not to mention the kid... |
 | Whenever We Wanted [Read More ...]
Review: Heavy Metal Mellencamp!!!:I was so relieved to hear this album for the first time when it was released. Having been a big fan of JCM's "American Fool" and "UH-HUH" albums because of the catchy rock songs, I had been waiting for him to return to his roots. And that he did! This en... |
 | Mr. Happy Go Lucky [Read More ...]
Review: Highly Unappreciated!:The lack of respect this amazing album has been given over the years blows me away, because I feel this is every bit as good as the better received "Human Wheels", and in many ways, better. The hit "Key West Intermezzo" is a cool single, but it's the lesser... |
 | Cuttin' Heads [Read More ...]
Description: You pretty much know what to expect from a John Mellencamp album at this point in time, and Cuttin' Heads certainly won't disappoint the Midwest rock troubadour's diehard fans. In fact, Mellencamp's 18th album is arguably his most engaging, and coincidentally timely, since 1989's... |
 | The Lonesome Jubilee [Read More ...]
Description: The Lonesome Jubilee continued Scarecrow's stylistic and thematic examination of the rustic and rural. While it's not quite the knockout its predecessor was, the album does find Mellencamp and band in an undeniable groove. It's also hard to dispute the details of vignettes such a... |
 | Trouble No More [Read More ...]
Description: Before John Mellencamp recorded his classic Scarecrow, he learned hundreds of classic rock covers from the '60s. Here the Indiana troubadour ventures back to the very roots of American popular music, learning traditional songs associated with the likes of Robert Johnson, Son Hous... |
 | Dance Naked [Read More ...]
Review: Great Mellencamp album that deserves some props: Amazingly, The 1994 release of Mellencamp's "Dance Naked" was written and recorded in a mere 14 days. Mellencamp claimed at the time that the record company told him that the previous album (Human Wheels) was showing some straying... |
