| | John Mellencamp Whenever We Wanted CD John Mellencamp Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
John Mellencamp took his signature blend of Stonesy rock and folk as far as it could go on Big Daddy, so he wisely returned to straight-ahead rock & roll with Whenever We Wanted. Uh-Huh was the last record he made that rocked as hard and consistently as this, and his songwriting had improved considerably in the years since that breakthrough release. Which means, of course, that Whenever We Wanted is more consistent than the earlier record, but it never reaches the highs of Uh-Huh. Even its best moments ("Love and Happiness," "Get a Leg Up," "Whenever We Wanted," "Again Tonight") shine because of their craftsmanship, failing to achieve the kinetic energy of his earlier work. Whenever We Wanted remains a solid record, but it's one that feels like a holding pattern. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

$6.39
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 ...
| | John Mellencamp Scarecrow CD (1985) Bonus Tracks; Remastered
Whenever We Wanted album
$6.55
When John Cougar Mellencamp released 1985's SCARECROW, American farmers were taking a major hit from bank foreclosures and soaring interest rates that were destroying their way of life. For Mellencamp, this issue hit close to home since his great-grandfather's family farm had been sold after his sudden death. Looking to his Midwest upbringing for inspiration, the Indiana native composed 11 rootsy songs, featuring fully realized characters that drew from his experiences growing up as a rebel then escaping from small-town life, before he re-embraced his roots.
Among the many highlights of this breakthrough album were the tribute to '60s AM Top 40 radio "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A. (A Salute To 60's Rock)," and the jangly funk of "Justice and Independence '85." The latter was inspired by the healthy birth of his daughter, ...

Black Eyed Peas represent the kind of progressive hip-hop approach associated with bands such as A Tribe Called Quest or the Roots. While their straight-up rapping skills are indisputable, it's the group's quirky arrangements, production style, and preference for live tracks instead of pre-programmed ones that sets them apart from the pack.
Throughout BRIDGING THE GAP, the trio makes it clear that they're on a mission to ...
| | Nanci Griffith Flyer CD (1994)
Whenever We Wanted music CDs
$8.39
FLYER was nominated for Best Contemporary Folk Album in the 37th Annual Grammy Awards.
With FLYER, Nanci Griffith continues her successful reign as folk music's best country artist. Unlike Mary-Chapin Carpenter who brought a homogenous blend of pop country/folk to the masses, Griffith still struggles on the fringe. Griffith's music is more sophisticated than Chapin's, but it is her high-register, nasal twang that holds her back from mass popularity. But she doesn't mind -- she has a strong cult following and is well respected by her peers.
It is the contribution of those peers that allows FLYER to soar. Griffith is joined by guitar virtuoso Frank Christian, the Indigo Girls, Emmylou Harris, The Chieftans, Adam Duritz of Counting Crows, and U2's Adam Clayton. They breeze through mostly Griffith originals, bolstered by Griffith's unique vocals which sometimes sound like Iris Dement, Suzanne Vega, or Shawn Colvin. Many songs have a strong British Isles influence, a region where Griffith is enormously popular.
It was Nanci who first introduced Julie Gold's classic "From A Distance"; on FLYER she presents Gold's new "Southbound Train." Griffith spreads her own musical wings, flying from country and folk to Tex-Mex swing and rock. The Indigo's harmonies twist like vines with Griffith's vocal on "These Days In An Open Book" a

Volume One of the RODGERS AND HART SONGBOOK was one of Ella Fitzgerald's most artistically and commercially successful albums, so obviously a sequel was called for. You'd be forgiven for expecting lukewarm leftovers, but given the range and depth of Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart's catalogue, it's not entirely surprising ...
