Heartland Rock in the Age of Reagan: John Mellencamp, Part Three
Thanks for the reminder of how good mainstream '80s rock could be....
Great Article. In my Opinion, it was his best Album and one of the Top Albums of the 1980s. You felt his characters listening to the songs. Well Done
Thank you!
Well done, Keith. Lonesome Jubilee has such a great sound to it.
Over the years, Check It Out has become my #1 Mellencamp song. In 1979, I bought his self titled album - John Cougar and have been a fan since.
Your essay led me to Alan Paul's interview here on SS w/ him from two or three years ago. It's pure Mellencamp - well worth your time.
Thank you, Sean. I LOVE that self-titled album! Pure Mellencamp. I will for sure check out that interview with him - thanks for the recommendation.
This is such a great series of essays. Kudos.
Thank you, Bob!
