Mellencamp, John Cougar - Big Daddy

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON MERCURY 1989

Mercury 838 220 made in Holland.

Vinyl EX. Cover VG+.

Continuing with the folk inclinations of The Lonesome Jubilee, John Mellencamp recorded his most ambitious and serious-minded album with Big Daddy. Mellencamp produced the record himself, giving the album a concise and stripped-down sound, which help give his songs the appearance of being gritty statements of truth. Unfortunately, Mellencamp isn't saying nearly as much as he believes he is, since his lyrics tend to be clichéd and half-baked, making much of the album feel pompous and self-serving. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Mellencamp
