John MellencampThe Lonesome Jubilee
$30.00Call to Order
Mellencamp folds fiddle, accordion and dulcimer into his heartland rock, and the result is gritty, hard-bitten Americana with dust on its boots. 'Paper in Fire' burns with frustration while 'Cherry Bomb' glows with bittersweet nostalgia for vanished youth. The whole record aches for a fading working-class America. His richest, most ambitious statement, where rock and roots music shake hands.
