Solid rock that reflects the original American landscape and the melancholy of working people.
A sincere, message-filled album that established John Mellencamp's identity.
As the title "Scarecrow" suggests, the song sings about the harsh reality and hope of the American Midwest, set against a straightforward band sound. The simple yet powerful melody has the persuasive power to reach straight into the hearts of listeners.
