		Mellencamp doesn't recapture the spirit of his best days on all of this collection (the personal, introspective songs are too tame), but he comes close enough when he's in the role of commentator for us to again pay attention.
		John Mellencamp may be in midlife, but, judging by the sharp tone of this new collection, he ain't in no crisis.
		Mellencamp may be, as he sings on one track, "a middle-aged teenager," but that mixture of confused complacency and ire is what keeps him relevant.

	John Mellencamp : Scarecrow - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		Uh-Huh found John Mellencamp coming into his own, but he perfected his heartland rock with Scarecrow.
		A loose concept album about lost innocence and the crumbling of small-town America, Scarecrow says as much with its tough rock and gentle folk-rock as it does with its lyrics, which remain a weak point for Mellencamp.
		Those four songs form the core of the album, and while the rest of the album isn't quite as strong, that's only a relative term, since it's filled with lean hooks and powerful, economical playing that make Scarecrow one of the definitive blue-collar rock albums of the mid-'80s.

	John Cougar Mellencamp / Scarecrow album review [plus 'Rain on the Scarecrow' song lyrics]
		Rain on the scarecrow, blood on the plow...
		The song "Rain on the Scarecrow" is a direct commentary on agricultural policies that have led to the serious downturn in family farming in the US.
		But in addition to inspired message music, Mellencamp also knows how to write great hit songs, as evidenced here by "Lonely Ol' Night," "Rumbleseat," and "R.O.C.K. In The U.S.A." Most consider this to be his finest album.

		The point where Mellencamp finally grew up and produced the sort of music that he'd been hinting at for 10 years or so.
		There isn't a poor track on this album; indeed at least 4 tracks were released as singles in the USA and all of the songs stand out in their own right.
		Mellencamp is unquestionably at his best on many tracks on this album but there is still that little insecurity left.
