I've thought about posting this for a while. I don't know if anyone cares for a CD review, but as far as I'm concerned, if anyone deserves to get paid for their music, this guy does.
It's a double CD with a DVD included. I hold off on saying the name, because everyone is quick to associate him with "Jack and Dianne" and "Pink Houses". John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits CD kicks butt.
He has all of those old hits that everyone knows on there, but it is kind of surprising how many newer songs he has that are great songs as well. "Human Wheels", "Your Life is NOw", "Dance Naked", "Just Another Day", and a bunch more. This is what a Greatest Hits release should be like.
I was listening to it again before I go to bed and I had to give it a thumbs up. Plenty of excellent American sounding Fender guitar and amp tone (and some Gibson) as well. And I love the way he records and mixes his records. I say he is undoubtedly one of the best songwriters of all time. Just my humble opinion.
Remember the old "Crumbling Walls" video? It's on the DVD. Well worth every penny in my book and one of my favorites of all time.
