1.A Very Special Christmas by: The Pretenders, John Cougar Mellencamp October 25, 1990
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.98 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $3.64
The original "A Very Special Christmas". I remember buying the LP when it first came out and loved it so much that I decided to get the CD recently. Still a classic. Great Album.

I am not implying with this review that this CD sounds like a hangover-it doesn't. This is actually one of only two John Mellencamp albums I purchased (the other is the wonderful The Lonesome Jubilee) and the other reviews here already explain how different this is from an album like that so I won't go into it again-why preach to the converted?Anyway yes this isn't exactly the happy singalong kind of rock tunes of Mellencamp's fast. At the same time there's no indication he intended anything like that to start with. One thing I must say is John Mellencamp had the good sense to include a lyric booklet with this (believe it or not some CD's still don't include them) because the lyrics are the best part of this music. This album doesn't feature any subject matter that is light-Mellencamp ... Read More

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"!

4.The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988 by: John Mellencamp November 18, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $13.98 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $9.97 You Save: $4.01 (29%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $0.23
John Mellencamp sing from the heart about the heartland of our country. His songs give insight into small town farming communities, teenage angst, divorce, dringking, and on and on. He lives in the land where he sings about, so he's not some transplant who has the outsider's view of mid-America. These songs on this collection are his greatest hits. Every one of them has received airplay on popular and rock radio stations. Mellencamp is not one of those artists with two or three bonafide hits and seven songs no one has ever heard of on a greats hits album. His songs are genuine and belong on such a collection. Ideally there should be a box set that allows some of the B sides of songs to get some renewed exposure to a greater audience. This collection is very good and will ... Read More

Freedom Road includes some very thought provoking songs. Makes me ask the Question: Is Freedom is Free, Is Freedom Easy? Our Country: In the 2008 Presidential Primary race Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any of her rivals, and more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the History of this Free country...

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) Do you realize all 12 tracks on this album were singles? I'm not sure how many hit #1 or were top 10 exactly, but how often can you say that about any album in rock history? Scarecrow hit a chord with middle America, celebrated our innocence, and reminded us of a time when almost all of us had a relative who owned or once owned a farm or lived in the country. During the "good times" of the 80's when the economy was strong, jobs were abundant, the internet didn't exist, and cable TV was still new, music was more of a focal point of entertainment ...

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 miss the BABE MELLENCAMP sound and style.

8.Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits by: John Mellencamp October 19, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.99
This guy just confuses me. I love some of his singles, like Cherry Bomb - what a cool song. I bought this collection having never owned any of his albums/CDs. If I put this on to listen to, in about 15 minutes I am aggravated. There is something grating about his voice or something. I also have never liked his political adventures or social commentaries. I mean I know Farm-Aid was cool, but his constant harping about injustice and even the big deal over his name and how the industry tried to eat him up aggravates me. Even the fact that he scribbled all over his Gibson acoustic aggravates me. His image seems so contrived, the torn bluejeans small town crap. He is the best example I can think of where if he just stuck to the music and I didn't know all this other stuff, I would be OK. Like I said, he confuses me but he has ... Read More

9.Trouble No More by: John Mellencamp April 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.40
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 than modern pop. Standout Tracks: Baltimore Oriole, Down in the Bottom, Johnny Hart, John the Revelator and Death Letter. Nothing wasted on this glorious trip through American music.

10.American Fool by: John Mellencamp March 29, 2005

This launched the midwestern live show star squarely onto the national stage, with two huge worldwide hits..the highly conventional "Hurts So Good" as well as the standout "Jack and Diane"; and while the first made him a superstar, the latter proved his terrific ability to weave a tale, a talent he has honed to an exceptional level over the years. This album is filled with catchy rock treasures, such as the minor hit "Hand To Hold On To", the aptly named "Thundering Hearts" and the anthemic "Close Enough". Taken on its own, this album could easily be dismissed as a Top 40 grab by Mellencamp; but in the context of his entire career, this was a watershed moment, a solid album that gave him the leeway to grow as an artist - and listeners worldwide are the beneficiaries.
