Mellencamp Should Sometimes Win!

With the huge success of AMERICAN FOOL in 1982 the artist formerly called himself John Cougar added his real surname MELLENCAMP and surged ahead with his own rock'n roll style-straight-ahead rock with homecoming blues. CRUMBLING DOWN and AUTHORITY SONG are such straight rock songs. PINK HOUSES is a nice sample of homecoming nostalgia. During 1984 campaign Republican candidate Ronald Reagan used PINK HOUSES as Presidential campaign song ,which was against the will of the artist who made it of course. In AMERICAN FOOL the gap between hit tracks and the rest are so huge but this one is truly consistent -- the other album tracks are arranged and mixed so that the listener would not skip after track 4, WARMER PLACE TO SLEEP. PLAY GUITAR is another of upbeat rock song and closing song GOLDEN GATES refreshes our soul.
Essential for American rock fans and for any music fans who enjoyed recent compilation
WORDS AND MUSIC.

Uh Huh is a big Yes

| Pre-dating his "Farm Aid" support of America's Heartland, Mellencamp's "Uh Huh" clearly shows the nostalgia and amicable rebellion that pervades his work. From the midwest ode "Pink Houses" to the self deprecating "Authority Song", Mellencamp continues his "American Fool" path of embracing your roots while still having a great time. |

The Best overall Mellencamp album
Submitted on: 2004-08-15 |

| Uh-Huh was recorded in a 16 day jam session in Southern Indiana and it is far and away Mellencamp's strongest album. There are other songs of his that are my favorite but this album is incredibly powerful and tight. Well-conceived. If you are unsure, listen to the samples up above and you'll be convinced. |

A classic rock album!

| In later years--"Trouble No More," "Cuttin Heads," etc.--Mellencamp has turend to a more folky-bluesy sound. In the eighties, though, it was all about rock n roll--and "Uh Huh" is a classis rock album (as is "Scarecrow," by the way). Mellencamp acknowledges his fame in "Crumblin Down," and pokes fun at society in "Pink Houses," "Serious Business," and "Play Guitar." With the rebellious attitue displayed on "Authority Song," along with the world-wise anthem "Pink Houses," Mellencamp positioned himself as a singer of the people. "Uh Huh" is a classic rock n roll album, there's no doubt about it. While Mellencamp's songwriting isn't always world-class (though close), his melodies and voice enrapture. Do you need to buy this album? Let's here it: "Uh huh." |
