The definitive biography of John Mellencamp featuring exclusive
interviews and never-before-told details about the life of the
iconic American rock and roll original. John Mellencamp is not your
typical rock star. With music inspired by the work of William
Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and other giants of American literature,
Mellencamp is a complex, colorful and larger than life character
who walks to the beat of his own drum. Or, as he told author and
veteran music journalist, Paul Rees: 'I just refuse to take shit
off anyone'. Now, this fascinating biography fully charts the life
of one of this country's most important voices in American music.
Mellencamp's story is also the story of the American heartland. His
coming of age as an artist and evolution into legendary status
directly reflected the major changes of the last fifty years. From
the Summer of Love to the growing divisiveness of American politics
and beyond, his music has served as the backdrop of this evolving
country for millions of fans. For the first time, this story
written with the cooperation and support of Mellencamp and his
management will include extensive interviews with members of
Mellencamp's family, many of his bandmates and collaborators, past
and present, and Mellencamp himself. Together, they shed new light
on a man hailed by none other than Johnny Cash as 'among our
greatest living songwriters'. An exploration of everything from the
founding of Farm Aid to his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, this is a fresh and expansive look at a true original.
