#20 John Mellencamp


Very few musicians have sold more records or played to more people than John Mellencamp, rock’s great troubadour. While Springsteen plays to the gallery with his sometimes oversized gestures and songs, Mellencamp plays to the front row, dead center, with his more genuine, more awkward and unresolved songs of small towns and lives — our towns and lives. Songs like “Jack and Diane,” “Hurts So Good,” “R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A.” and “Pink Houses” — and the mid-’80s breakout hit of his then-new musical sound and activism, “Rain On The Scarecrow” — made him a best selling pop star and household name who sold-out arenas and stadiums. But it was songs like “Jackie Brown,” which was never a hit, and “Hard Times For An Honest Man” or “Paper In Fire” that cemented him as a thrilling musician and a truly great American storyteller, indelibly singing the pain of his characters. I think of Mellencamp as the spiritual, orphaned love child of Woody Guthrie and Hank Williams, eternally restless and apparently eternally discontent, as an artist. BGJ
