I think "Lonesome Jubilee" is one of the best albums of John Mellencamp's career. The singer-songwriter from Indiana came through with a record that sounded very different from anything he had released before. It had a couple of top 15 hits, but mostly it seemed to define a sound for his music - one unlike anybody else's.
My favorite tracks include "Cherry Bomb" (one of the best songs of the 1980s in my opinon), "Paper In Fire", "Check it Out", and "The Real Life".
John Mellencamp was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
