This definitive biography of John Mellencamp is "a true coming-of-age
story" (John Sykes, chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Foundation) of an iconic American rock and roll original, featuring
exclusive in-depth interviews and never-before-told details. Perfect
for fans of Janis and Born to Run.
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, he has experienced a colorful
career unlike any other. 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
growth 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 to this country for millions of fans.
Featuring exclusive interviews with friends, family, and colleagues,
and exploring everything from the founding of Farm Aid to his induction
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, this is a fresh, expansive, and
"inspirational" (Nora Guthrie, president of The Woody Guthrie
Foundation) look at a true original.
A deluxe edition featuring 48 of Guthrie's legendary songs along
with a bio, introduction, complete lyrics, a discography, photos
and sketches. Songs include: Jig Along Home * Roll On, Columbia *
Sinking of the Reuben James * This Land Is Your Land * Tom Joad *
and more.
