John Mellencamp is releasing a new album September 23, 2014, Plain Spoken. The album, from Republic Records, does not do anything unusual but features the great songwriting and singing we expect from Mellencamp. The songwriter recently told USA Today that his lyrics are inspired by “Steinbeck, Hawthorne, Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams.”
The first single from the album is “Troubled Man.” Give a listen below.
