JOHN MELLENCAMP: THE DEFINITIVE REMASTERS Series.
"Pink Houses" is the state-of-our-union anthem that John Mellencamp likes to boast about, but the real class-awareness beef of 1983's UH-HUH is in "Authority Song" ("Call up my preacher... / He said, 'You don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son'")- not to mention the kidding cynicism of "Crumblin' Down" and the Mellencamp-John Prine collaboration "Jackie O." With his Stonesy band crackling behind him, the newly minted superstar also shows that he gets the joke of his "serious business" on "Play Guitar," which might have been the album's fourth hit single if not for its admonition to "forget all about that macho shit."
PERSONNEL: John Cougar Mellencamp (vocals); Jay Ferguson, Carroll Sue Hill (vocals); Larry Crane , Mike Wanchic (guitar); Louis Johnson, Willie Weeks, Toby Myers (bass guitar); Kenny Aronoff (drums).
For 1983's UH-HUH, the follow-up to his breakthrough album, AMERICAN FOOL, John Cougar reclaimed his real last name (Mellencamp) while keeping "Cougar" as a middle name. The change is significant, since UH-HUH still features the swaggering rock & roll of John Cougar, in the form of the raucous "Crumblin' Down" and the defiant "Authority Song," while pointing towards his more mature John Mellencamp days with "Pink Houses," a celebration of small-town America. The aforementioned tunes were all major hits for Mellencamp, and they make up the first three songs on this front-loaded record. The rest of UH-HUH, however, is not to be overlooked. "Warmer Place to Sleep" works an energetic Stones-y riff, "Serious Business" is a kissing cousin to "Crumblin' Down" and the earlier "Hurts So Good," and "Golden Gates" proves to be a gentle closing number. For a potent dose of Mellencamp's "heartland rock," look no further than this album.
