Thank you, New Jersey Star Ledger

John Mellencamp has released a covers of album of blues and folk songs. I will remain completely neutral here on what I think about this development. However, I will quote the NJ Star Ledger's review of the album:

"Mellencamp's version of Guthrie's "Johnny Hart," for example, is performed as a straightforward folk-rock ballad that lacks the kick and bite of George Thorogood's covers of nearly identical songs."

Very nice to see something positive about our guy, especially in the review of someone else's work!
