I enjoy that scrub-board signature sound of Mellencamp's music. It puts me in mind of swamp water backroads, dogs under porches in dusty dooryards, and blue jeaned sweethearts walking down deserted train tracks. His music makes you want to take up smoking, scratch a match on your workboot, light up a Camel and watch cars go by. That's Mellencamp.
....damn son!.....that should be on one of his album jackets!!!.....

Indeed. He is the epitome of blue-collar rock, right up there with my other favourite, Bruuuuuce!

I don't mind that Mellencamp doesn't make straight-up rock records any more, but hi voice is nowhere good as it used to be, sadly. Smoking really ruined it. Stubborn bastard wouldn't give it up not even when his son did a social media post pleading with him to.
