For years I stayed away from "Heartland Rock". Can't remember why I did now. Inspired by the epicness of early Springsteen, I decided to give this style of music a try. First Springsteen, then Seeger, and now John Mellencamp. Picked up cheap copies of American Fool and Scarecrow many years ago at Barnes & Noble. I guess that little ditty about Jack and Diane got to me. Tonight I picked up two more Mellencamp titles for $5 each at Wal-Mart:The Lonesome Jubilee and Human Wheels. Making my way through The Lonesome Jubilee now; it's good Celtic-folk-country-roots rock. Any Mellencamp fans?
