Music reviews of Trouble No More
Music Review: Mellencamp Masterpiece
Rating: 5 Stars
John Cougar Mellencamp's album Trouble No More is simply a masterpiece of sound quality, execution and culturally authentic pieces. It is a little subtle, but it keeps growing on you like a good novel or vintage wine. Destined to live and be more appreciated as time goes on. A classic. The artist is ahead of his listeners in this one, which may account for some initially low first impression ratings. We have to make an effort to listen without prejudice to catch up to John's heart and his head. Mellencamp's art is in the nuances of his voice, the quality of the strings. Poetry, protest, philosophy, authentic life: it's all there.
Description of Trouble No More
Before John Mellencamp recorded his classic Scarecrow, he learned hundreds of classic rock covers from the '60s. Here the Indiana troubadour ventures back to the very roots of American popular music, learning traditional songs associated with the likes of Robert Johnson, Son House, Howlin' Wolf, and Woody Guthrie. The result is Mellencamp's rawest album to date, updating the acoustic sounds of those early idioms for modern times while keeping them firmly rooted in tradition. In that sense, it's not unlike his hero Bob Dylan's two country-blues cover albums from the mid-'90s--though the ever-mischievous Mellencamp has a little fun with his definitions here, paying tribute to his Hoosier background by covering Bloomington native Hoagy Carmichael's "Brooklyn Oriole" and Lucinda Williams's 1980 ode to "Lafayette," while pulling a beautiful stark version of Skeeter Davis's wonderful 1963 country-pop ballad "End of the World" out of left field. The former James Brown impersonator has never sang better. The album closes with "To Washington," credited to Mellencamp, but actually a "borrowed blues" that's been used to address political figures as far back as Calvin Coolidge when recorded by Charlie Poole, the Carter Family, and Guthrie. This time, the song addresses one George W. Bush and surely won't gain Mellencamp any new fans among those who'd support a Dixie Chicks boycott. --Bill HoldshipAlbum-Oriented Rock (AOR) CDs
