John Mellencamp On The Rural Route 7609 Preview

On The Rural Route 7609 is a four CD set that chronicles, in a most unique way, the arc of John Mellencamp's career, with a focus on his songwriting. Universal Music Enterprises has set June 15th as the release date for the collection through its Mercury imprint. The package, unlike typical box sets that tend to slavishly offer a chronological presentation of hits and near-hits, is programmed as if each of the discs were a freestanding album. The 54 tracks included in the collection are presented, in essence, as four albums with songs juxtaposed in a manner that offers the listener the experience of hearing them in a context that sheds new light on the themes and artistry that have made Mellencamp's music so cherished by so many over the course of four decades.

i enjoy listening on NPR your comments with the tragedy regarding our comercialyzed degradation with our food, technology and the loss of an inspiring america. I am 60 now and view the late 50s and early 60s as golden years gone. I wonder what it would take to ever experience those days again then the dismal arena we have allowed others to impose upon us. People dont even realyze how detrimental the internet has been on societys developement socially.thankyou for your awareness .ludwigtom53@

shit i love cougar's old stuff..was hoping he would have some old stuff he never released from back in the day but most of all the songs are all lame about politics and there just no kick in it like his older stuff did
