Mellencamp Masterpiece
It is a little subtle, but it keeps growing on you like a good novel or vintage wine. John Cougar Mellencamp's album Trouble No More is simply a masterpiece of sound quality, execution and culturally authentic pieces. Destined to live and be more appreciated as time goes on. A classic. The artist is ahead of his listeners in this one, which may account for some initially low first impression ratings. We have to make an effort to listen without prejudice to catch up to John's heart and his head. Mellencamp's art is in the nuances of his voice, the quality of the strings. Poetry, protest, philosophy, authentic life: it's all there.


What An Artist...
This is John hauling out a variety of old blues and 50's and 60's tunes and rollicking through them with typical Cougar fire. This guy would have been a star in any decade. Hearing him dig deep into the blues catalog of Robert Johnson and Son House, then romping through folkster Woody Guthrie's "Johnny Hart" and then delivering the goods on Hoagy Carmichael's "Baltimore Oriole" - wow. And how many albums do YOU have that contrast songs like Skeeter Davis's "The End Of The World" with Willie Dixon's "Down In The Bottom" and Lucinda Williams' "Lafayette"? This is, in some ways, the most musically ambitious project of John's career, and as always, he delivers the goods. .


Complete Garbage
Complete Garbage - Invest your $$ in an original Mellencamp album - you will be dissapointed with this weak effort.


One fo the best CD's I've ever purchased
John and his band are superb. This CD is by far one of the best CD's I've ever purchased. This is a feel good album - every one of the songs. You won't regret this purchase! Great rhythm, lyrics. . . . . . . . . . . These guys/gals are talented!.


One of the Best - Rock, Folk, Blues... One of the Best
I am stumbled upon this album today and even on the first listen, I was blown away. I am 52 years old and still love my Stones, Dylan, Clapton, Yardbirds, Dwight, and others. Talk about a national treasure. . . and one that rocks. .
