John Cougar Mellencamp - Scarecrow

John Cougar Mellencamp perfected his heartland rock with his 1985 Scarecrow album, a loose concept record about lost innocence and the crumbling of small-town America. His writing has never been more powerful. "Rain On The Scarecrow" and "Small Town" campture the hopes and fears of Middle America, while "Lonely Ol Night and "Rumbleseat" effortlessly convey the desperate loneliness of being stuck in a dead-end life. It also includes the single "R.O.C.K. (In The U.S.A.)".

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Mercury Records in 2016. Remastered from the original masters.
