The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988

Description

Product Description The multi-platinum career of the famed small town boy from Indiana hits home with the 1st ever retrospective from John Mellencamp. The Best That I Can Do features 16 songs that have changed the face of pop music; from his 1st hit "I Need a Lover" to the landmark "Pink Houses," then "Cherry Bomb"; from the anthemic "R.O.C.K. in the USA" and "Jack And Diane" to the recent #1 hit "Wild Night" and more. The collection is highlighted by a new song, "Without Expression," serviced to rock, Top 40, AC and AAA radio. desertcart.com The Best That I Could Do collects the singles that led John Mellencamp into the radio/jukebox pantheon he celebrated in "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and "Cherry Bomb." While albums such as American Fool, Uh Huh, and Scarecrow held Top 10 spots for months, their spinoff hits made this Hoosier disciple of Jagger, J.B., and Iggy into something like a Reagan-era John Fogerty: not only were "Pink Houses," "Paper in Fire," and "Crumblin' Down" wise (and wiseacre) dispatches from an America where it wasn't always morning, they could fill a dance floor and get you pounding the dashboard on the way home. --Rickey Wright
