Download on iTunes
Pink houses. Lonely ol’ nights. Chili dogs outside the Tasty Freeze. Ain’t that America? According to John Mellencamp it certainly is. His songs—critical and celebratory—reflect the real and imagined Midwest purity. In these reflections, the listener can see the country’s past, present, and future. Mellencamp crafts these songs with blue-collar precision. After all, he cannot forget where it is he came from.
Growing up in the Hoosier heartland, Mellencamp undoubtedly heard as much country as rock’n’roll. On this special tribute album, the most popular songs from his canon are transformed into warm bluegrass instrumentals. Top-notch musicians blend mandolin, guitar, fiddle, banjo, and dobro to capture Mellencamp’s passion and defiance.
