John Mellencamp - Freedom Road

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: Freedom Road includes some very thought provoking songs. Makes me ask the Question: Is Freedom is Free, Is Freedom Easy?
Our Country: In the 2008 Presidential Primary race Hillary Clinton earned more Votes than any of her rivals, and more Votes than any Presidential Primary candidate in the History of this Free country...

Great songs, well performed.

 Album Rating: (5 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: "Someday" and the other tracks on this album are appealing to anyone who wants "change you can believe in" for America. Buy the CD, and vote accordingly in the upcoming primaries. Need I say more?

Another American lets unite CD

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I like this CD but it sounds like alot like his Scarecrow CD, not in the sense of the same songs but the same theme, he seems to keep driving home the messege of american ideals and I think we have been down this road already. Im sick to death of hearing "Our Country", everytime I turn on the TV that song is playing in a Chevy commercial, i think hes beating a dead horse...enough already, we get the message. good song but we dont need to hear it every 30 seconds. I think John Mellencamp is a great songwriter but this CD is just another way of saying, Hey everbody, let get together and eat apple pie and be like the old days in the 60s, sorry but those happy days are long gone. In todays world thats not going to happen. anyways, good CD but seems to repeat a message he gave us back in the 80s...

Worth buying

 Album Rating: (4 of 5 stars)

Review Comments: I would disagree that this album is only for die-hard fans. Some of John's albums along the way have been less accessible but not this one. If you have liked John's more popular music in the past you will like this album. Simplistic? Maybe...but maybe that's what people need sometimes...back to the basics. There are a lot of good things in America and a lot that needs to be improved. John, if you read this I could use a ride on your aeroplane.

One of the best albums of his carrer.

Review Comments: I've had this album for a while now, I just got around to reviewing it, it should have been done sooner. I just want to say this album is wonderful. It is also very well produced and recorded. From the very first song the jangling sixties dual guitar attack molded to lyrics that could be about the VietNam war.I knew this album was a winner. The lyrics fit our political and social landspapeof today, you wonder if the sixties acomplished any thing at all. This album makesme wonder if Human Nature can EVER change. Still this album inspires Hope, Peace, and Love from a man who was totaly a part of the sixties himself. And wheather or not your religious or spiritual or none of thee above, I defy you to live your whole life without any of these Ideals. What it boils down to is that John Mellencamp is trying to be part of the solution to the Perinial problems that each new generation seems to face,while myself and all you readers aren't famous, I mean most of us,can we face the challenge,that needs to be faced up to as well,before I'ts too late.
