Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.com

Compare this to John Mellencamp's previous hits set, The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988, and it quickly becomes apparent how much the artist formerly known as Cougar has grown in the second phase of his career. Following a 1994 heart attack, the songwriter transformed from cocky jukebox hero to compassionate everyman, trading in big pop riffs for sublime, politically charged songs that echo the outspoken work of Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. Spanning 25 years, this 35-track set incorporates most of the last collection alongside more recent hits over two discs in non-chronological order. --Aidin Vaziri

Customer Reviews

Fine Music (2004-11-06)

I've listened to Mellencamp occasionally over the last twenty years but never really been interested. This CD showcases both what I've heard and missed and it is rich and varied. The first CD is the strongest with back to back honest, passionate and rocking good music. The second CD is slightly laid back but also chock full of hits, and, above all, good music. It's one to buy and repeatedly listen to.
