Not only has Mellencamp released hundreds of original songs over his
illustrious career, but he has recorded numerous celebrated covers. For as
renowned as his original material remains, Mellencamp has breathed new life and
spirit into various staples of the classic American musical canon as well. A
handpicked selection of those covers comprises the aptly titled, Other
People’s Stuff.
Culled from seminal albums, compilations, unearthed sessions and
documentaries, this record serves as a proud homage to some of the greatest
songs in history. For the album, Mellencamp recorded a brand-new version of
“Eyes on the Prize” which was originally performed at The White House.
Mellencamp was asked by the Obama administration to perform for the 2010
Celebration of Music from the Civil Rights Movement event. See link to the
memorable performance HERE.
Check out “Eyes on The Prize ”HERE.
About the collection, Mellencamp commented “Most, if not all, of the songs on
Other People’s Stuff come from The Great American Songbook. These are songs that
have been recorded over the last 40 years of my career, but had never been put
together as one piece of work. Now, they have.”
Check out the full tracklisting below.
The new album sets the stage for his 2019 tour of “The John Mellencamp Show,”
which will feature the rock icon’s classics plus some new material. Hailed by
critics and fans alike as one of music’s most authentic and crowd-pleasing
concert performer, he kicks off the tour February 7th in his home state of
Indiana at South Bend’s Morris Performing Arts Center. Yesterday, Mellencamp
announced additional dates for the tour which will extend the already lengthy

ABOUT JOHN MELLENCAMP
John Mellencamp’s career in music, spanning more than 35 years, has seen him
transition from pop star to one of the most highly respected singer/songwriters
of a generation. Mellencamp is incredibly acclaimed; he is a member of the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame, a Grammy winner, a recipient of the John Steinbeck Award,
ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award and Americana Music
Association's Lifetime Achievement Award and more recently, the Founders Award,
the top honor assigned by the American Society of Composers, Authors and
Publishers. Additionally, he was recently inducted into the Songwriters Hall of
Fame this past June. He is also one of the most successful live concert
performers in the world. In 1985, Mellencamp, together with Willie Nelson and
Neil Young, created Farm Aid. The social activism reflected in his songs helped
catalyze Farm Aid, the concert series and organization that has addressed the
struggle of American family farmers for more than 25 years.
As well, John journeyed into the darkness of coal mining life in his reverent
cover of Merle Travis' 1946 song "Dark as a Dungeon," recorded in support of
National Geographic's acclaimed documentary about the mining industry, “From The
Ashes,” produced by Michael Bloomberg, former NYC Mayor.
John continues to focus on another facet of his artistic expression:
painting. His style has progressed over the years as evidenced by several
gallery shows and published portfolios, and in recent years he has increased his
output by completing over 100 new works. He had his second solo exhibition this
past Spring in New York and has a current exhibit at the famed Butler Museum in
Youngstown, Ohio from September 20th through November 18. His highly successful
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame exhibit ran for nearly two years and is now at the
Woodie Guthrie Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma from September 1st through January 5,
2019.
Mellencamp continues his journey as the walking embodiment of rock icon;
passionate, plain-spoken, and a self-proclaimed rebel. John Mellencamp continues
to live and work in Bloomington, Indiana. Back
