Just bought the album at iTunes. I have never been big on concept albums. However I love this album. Again John Mellencamp pulls off something no one else could. It sounds like an old Hank Williams album. One question not answered in the digital booklet "Which songs were recorded where"?

Put on the music and close your eyes; it is like Astral projecting back in time, to a simpler day and a simpler time. Thanks John
