Great job guys! I am going to buy Mellencamp's Box Set. He is perhaps the greatest Heartland singer/songwriter in music history.

Be sure to preview his new album as well. It is going to be called "No Better Than This" and will be released in August.

@enorromous we definitely will want to check that album out, I wish we had had time to talk about his last album "Life, Death, Love and Freedom". That was an amazing album!
