  1. Bursts with old-time voodoo bluster.
  2. The simpler style allows the tense commentary to come through loud and clear, as the band keeps up.
  3. What gives it some distinction is that there's a freshness to the music, largely dervied from its quick recording, a quality that has been lacking in his records for many years now, arguably since Big Daddy.

    This recording is a great blues/folk covers album by an American icon. I can't believe I found it in the "Overtsock" section at BMG Music Service. His last last song "To Washington" is more appropriate today than it was in 2003. Mellencamp rocks!!! Expand

    Incrdible reworking of some terrific tunes. Unbelievable band by the way. Very strong effort. No surprise that it spent over 3 months at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart. Keep Rockin' John! Expand

    I guess you either love or hate his stuff. Being from Indiana he does not represent what I like in music, so I won't buy it.
