View More By John Mellencamp Our ReviewLife Death LIVE and Freedom is an 8-song live “companion” to John Mellencamp’s 2008 studio release, Life, Death, Love and Freedom. This live collection was actually recorded before Mellencamp hit the studio with T-Bone Burnett, to “road test” the new material and whip it into shape. From his earliest hits, “Jack and Diane,” “Pink Houses,” and “Rain On the Scarecrow,” Mellencamp has used current events and social realities to make his philosophical points. Surely, there’s a sense of topical urgency to tunes such as “Troubled Land,” “If I Die Sudden,” and “Jena,” but as important as he considers the message, Mellencamp also stresses the purity of the music. These are unadorned tapes, capturing the band in action without the luxury of overdubbing or any post-concert enhancements. “Don’t Need This Body” stands as a modern-day folk song with Mellencamp starring in the elder bluesman role, a situation that befits this politically oriented music veteran, while elsewhere the band kicks in with a roots-rock dedication that never trivializes the matters at hand.. Customer ReviewsLive and electrified (4 stars)So glad these songs are available in this format. They lacked the rock and roll punch on the acoustic album and if you've seen Mellencamp in the past year or two, you'll appreciate this album as he's been playing many of these songs in concert. I appreciate Mellencamp's songwriting, but without the plugged in guitars, the songs just don't move, now they do! If you're a Mellnecamp fan, you will not be disappointed. Love it (5 stars) Never been a big Mellencamp fan but alway appreciated his music and liked a lot of his songs thoughout the years. Albums like Big Daddy, Dance Naked, and Human Touch always got my attention a lot more then the ones that had the big radio hits and this little EP is right on as far as I'm concern. John being the Singer Songwriter instead of the Pop Star, I love it. Wonderful (5 stars) Thank you, John...... BiographyBorn: October 07, 1951 in Seymour, INGenre: Rock Years Active: '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Throughout his career, John Mellencamp has had to fight, whether it was for the right to record under his own name or for respect as an artist. Of course, he never made it easy on himself. Mellencamp began his career in the late '70s as a Bruce Springsteen clone called Johnny Cougar. As his career progressed, his music became more distinctive, developing into a Stonesy blend of hard rock and folk-rock. His musical development coincided with his growth in popularity — by the time "Hurts So Good"...
