From the opening song, John Cougar Mellencamp showed he had something to say with "Rain on The Scarecrow". The artist from Indiana had previously had top 10 hits and grew progessively more political. This album was when it all came to fruition and it sounded great in the process.
This would be his last album to include the "Cougar" in his name. From here on out his albums would just be from John Mellencamp.
John Mellencamp was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008.
