Description:
`John Mellencamp`s country has fallen on dangerous times. Ghost towns haunt the highways, adults brutally exploit children on country lanes, and the devil lurks just around the bend on even the finest roads. Something`s happening here, as Buffalo Springfield might have said, and while Mellencamp doesnt find much to celebrate, he does find reasons for hope. That hard-fought optimism and the search for commonality that fuels it lays the foundation for his strongest album in years.` --- Brian Mansfield, usatoday.com
