So impressive

I can't stop being impressed by John Mellencamp's latest CD.

NO BETTER THAN THIS is so unique that I'm not sure it fits a certain category even though some seem to think it's country.

If it's country then it's the greatest country album ever released.

The story behind where he recorded this CD is wonderful. Three historical locations. I suggest you buy the CD and read the liner notes by T.Bone Burnett, who produced the work.

John Mellencamp has a distinct voice. The harsh edges combined with his writing ability result in nothing sort of spectacular. His rock and roll background seems to have been fundamentally important to his latest musical interpretations....and if this in turn leads to another dimension of his ability, then I truly can't wait.

That's really how good this record is.......I'M ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE.

Great Job John.
