Product Description
The multi-platinum career of the famed small town boy from Indiana hits home with the 1st ever retrospective from John Mellencamp. The Best That I Can Do features 16 songs that have changed the face of pop music; from his 1st hit "I Need a Lover" to the landmark "Pink Houses," then "Cherry Bomb"; from the anthemic "R.O.C.K. in the USA" and "Jack And Diane" to the recent #1 hit "Wild Night" and more. The collection is highlighted by a new song, "Without Expression," serviced to rock, Top 40, AC and AAA radio.

The Best That I Could Do collects the singles that led John Mellencamp into the radio/jukebox pantheon he celebrated in "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and "Cherry Bomb." While albums such as American Fool, Uh Huh, and Scarecrow held Top 10 spots for months, their spinoff hits made this Hoosier disciple of Jagger, J.B., and Iggy into something like a Reagan-era John Fogerty: not only were "Pink Houses," "Paper in Fire," and "Crumblin' Down" wise (and wiseacre) dispatches from an America where it wasn't always morning, they could fill a dance floor and get you pounding the dashboard on the way home. --Rickey Wright

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The packaging needs revisited, however. The jewel case is broken on both sides. Does not affect the CD performance this time yet It certainly could and when reported "only one left order soon" disappointment looms.

All the first wave of Mellencamp hits are here. From 'Jack and Diane', 'R-O-C-K in the USA' to 'Cherry Bomb', but there are quite a few that you will recognize without necessarily knowing the artist responsible, e.g. 'Pink Houses' or even 'The Authority Song'. Guaranteed to give you something to smile at as you try to sing along, these songs show why Mellencamp is still around today. Enjoy!
録音がとてもいいです。カントリーっぽい所もありますが、泥くさい所がいいです。ブルーススプリングスティーンぽい。どっちもファンです。
いいね、いいね、いいね。
