 THIS IS HIS BEST, 2008-09-26
Don't get any better then this. Mellencamp had his his own style.....Everybody loved it ,AND the VIOLIN. BUT,BUT,BUT...Why he changed his style from this album, no-one will ever know. IT's NEVER BEEN THE SAME. It's like BABE RUTH, giving up baseball. Man , I miss the BABE MELLENCAMP sound and style.
 Another Strong Album for John..Ho Hum!, 2008-02-07
There's cerainly nothing wrong with this solid album, it just didn't take him anywhere new after his critically acclaimed "Scarecrow". The singles are all as solid as ever, and he has good moments in the supporting tracks, particularly on "Hard Times For An Honest Man". I just felt that after the terrific step forward on "Scarecrow", Mellencamp would get more adventurous; he wouldn't take that step until 1993's "Human Wheels".
Blue Collar Gold Americana, 2007-07-03
Lonesome Jubilee is my favorite Mellencamp CD. I turn it up loud and and lose myself in the Americana, the earthy every-man stories that blue collar folks can relate to immediately. John's ability to tell stories of real people that you can actually visualize is his best talent. Whenever I listen to this CD, I am struck with the emotional depth and musical expertise of every musician playing in every cut.
I wore out my first copy, so I bought another one. IF you think you don't like Mellencamp, but have never heard this one, give it a real listen. This one and Scarecrow might change your mind.
 Driving, 2007-05-29
This was purchased as driving music. And it's great for my long trip to the mountains to get away for the weekends every so often.
Really enjoying it
Back to basics, 2007-05-21
John Mellencamp, once again, shows his superb writing attributes in this record. Through catchy melodies, and consistent storylines, he shows why he's the best in showing what Middle America is all about.
By far, it's his best and most mature work in his career.
