In its new issue, Rolling Stone magazine names "No Better Than This" the 12th best album of 2010. Rolling Stone had previously dubbed "Life, Death, Love and Freedom" the 5th best album of 2008.

12. John Mellencamp
No Better Than This
Rounder

Folk-blues idealism — recorded on a mono tape machine, in places like a Georgia church and Sun Studios — with a very modern anger at the world after the crash. When Mellencamp sings "A Graceful Fall," he channels a pride and rage as fresh as last night's business reports.

It's nice to see some industry recognition here.  I must agree I loved LDLF a lot and would have to rate it higher on my list of fav's.

Rolling Stone continues to be a great supporter of talented musicians and songwriters, maybe this will make up for the Grammy's??  ;)
