John Mellencamp Concert Tour Tickets
Jul 16th, 2008 by kenny
John Mellencamp has had to fight for everything that he has earned. Whether gaining the right to record under his own name or for respect as an artist.
Mellencamp began his career in the late ’70s as a clone for Bruce Springsteen called Johnny Cougar. As his career progressed, his music became more distinctive, developing into a Stonesy blend of hard rock and folk-rock. His musical development coincided with his growth in popularity — by the time “Hurts So Good” and “Jack and Diane” became hits in 1982, Mellencamp had created his own variation of the heartland rock of Springsteen, Tom Petty, and Bob Seger. While he had the record sales, it took several years before rock critics took him seriously. For some artists, this would be easy to ignore, but Mellencamp had the desire to be a serious social commentator, chronicling the times and trials of Midwestern baby boomers. Scarecrow, released in 1985, fulfilled his wish of being taken serious, and every record he released after it was greeted warmly by critics. Furthermore, he sustained his popularity into the late ’90s, only occasionally experiencing dips in record sales.
