JM Newsletter: Trouble No More Live Album Announced

JOHN MELLENCAMP PERFORMS TROUBLE NO MORE LIVE AT TOWN HALL AVAILABLE JULY 8

John Mellencamp Performs Trouble No More Live At Town Hall documents John performing material from his 2003 studio album Trouble No More, a collection of classic folk and blues songs that had been an inspiration to, and influence on, Mellencamp. The live album comes from a July 31, 2003 New York City show at Town Hall, one of only two shows performed upon the release of Trouble No More. The album, to be released on July 8, 2014, features many of the songs from the Trouble No More album as well as rootsy versions of Mellencamp classics "Small Town" "Paper In Fire" and "Pink Houses", along with an inspired cover of Bob Dylan's "Highway 61 Revisited."

John Mellencamp released the album Trouble No More back in June 2003. The album featured Mellencamp and his band’s spirited take on 11 American folk and blues classics including Robert Johnson’s “Stones In My Passway,” Son House’s “Death Letter,” Woody Guthrie’s “Johnny Hart,” Willie Dixon’s “Down In The Bottom,” Lucinda Williams’ “Lafayette,” and several others. The album was recorded and mixed in just 17 days, capturing the sessions’ bounding energy. The release was received with universal critical acclaim and a No. 1 debut on Billboard’s Blues chart.

The CD and digital audio packages both feature the complete 15-song concert, while the vinyl LP highlights 10 performances from the show. All three configurations include a new liner notes essay by Bob Merlis and are available now for pre-order at Amazon.com. Read the complete press release on Mellencamp.com
