From The Toronto Star Newspaper - by Greg Quill (Entertainment Columnist) December 26,2010

Greg featured his top picks for albums from 2010, in a variety of musical categories, and when it came to the 10 best albums from folk and country guess who appeared?
The album picks were not listed in any specific order.

10. John Mellencamp, No Better Than This (Rounder): Age compels some artists to revisit the comfortable past, others to gather their wits and strike out anew. Mellencamp’s latest is proof of his membership in the latter group. Smart, honest, incisive, intelligent, wise and poetic songs in stripped-down rockabilly, country and folk-rock formats actually sound like they’ve been with us for a long time.

Amen to that!
