Comment:

John Mellencamp has been an inspirational fighter all his life, first to beat his crippling childhood illness (spina bifida), then to reclaim his name from record company marketing departments, and onwards through his principled stands on rural poverty and the exploitative forces of corporate rock-sponsorship (for a long time, he refused to sell his music for commercial use, but relented in 2006 by attaching “Our Country” to a Chevrolet truck campaign). Outside of music, Mellencamp is an actor/director and a painter, but his excellence is nowhere more apparent than in his consistently brilliant, gutsy rock catalog, which takes in everything from 1996’s [i]Mr. Happy Go Lucky[/i], on which he flecked his rootsy core sound with clever embellishments by producer Junior Vasquez, to the morbid brilliance of 2008’s [i]Life, Death, Love and Freedom[/i], in which the artist’s finely drawn reflections on mortality seem even more poignant given that he survived a serious heart attack back in ’94. Rock on.
