 Rating: - R.O.C.K IN THE U.S.A. MELLENCAMP STYLE!There is not one rock artist over the last 30 years that can match Mellencamp pound for pound when it comes to devising short, punchy true rock and roll singles. Many casual fans will find it hard to believe that the guy who did "Jack And Diane," "Hurts So Good," and "Pink Houses" actually had enough great ideas to fill up two cds of 37 songs. Here is the surprise..He absolutely does!!! There are very few better "Greatest Hits" collections on the market and this captures all of his greatest moments up until 2004. In addition to 35 proven classics, Mellencamp also included two (at the time) new songs that are exclusive to this release. Both of those songs, "Walk Tall" and "Thank You" hold up very well against the older material and although ... Read More: Rating:  - Music but no wordsThis CD was a replacement for 'The Best I Could Do' CD and a few of Mellencamps other CDs. This is a very good collection save for one thing. I was surprised and disappointed that there were no lyrics included with the CD. I guess I took the CD title too literally. Rating: - Just the music, but great stuffOk, so this release doesn't have the DVD, but wow, what a great two disc set! This collection has all the hits, plus many other great songs. The sound quality of this collection is very good, with sensational disc mastering by Bob Ludwig. If you are on a budget, this is the only John Mellencamp CD you'll ever need to buy. Rating: - Ultimate Mellencamp collection - this version doesn't have the dvdA major fixture in American music for over 25 years, Words & Music is John Mellencamp's first (near) career-encompassing collection. Its two discs contain 37 digitally remastered selections - including all 22 of his top 40 hits - covering 14 albums. Mellencamp's only musical phase neglected here is his initial recordings for MCA Records from the mid-70s when he was using the Johnny Cougar moniker (and frankly, they deserve to be ignored). Even after Mellencamps's first couple of albums on Mercury in 1979 and 1980, it was hard to envision that a long, substantial career lie ahead. With his initial hits "I Need A Lover," "This Time," and "Ain't Even Done With The Night," Mellencamp came across as a rebel with a few good riffs and ... Read More: Rating: - Most Of Mellencamp's Best Songs In One PlaceWORDS & MUSIC has most of John Mellencamp's best material in one place. From the brand-new opener, "Walk Tall", to the end you get pure affirmation that Mellencamp is often just as good a basic rocker as Springsteen, Seger, and Fogerty, with such songs as "I Need A Lover", "Hurts So Good", "Crumblin' Down", "Pink Houses", "Authority Song", "Paper In Fire", and "Check It Out" proving that even if he didn't always equal the aforementioned artists, he often did. This anthology proves that the insults hurled Mellencamp's way by the press are a good reason for music appreciation teachers to assign their students homework to do over the summer, ruined vacations be damned. |
