The album was written & produced by Mellencamp and recorded at his Belmont Mall Studios in Indiana, recorded and mixed by Grammy‐award winner David Leonard and features a number of longtime band members including Andy York, Dane Clark, Mike Wanchic, Troye Kinnett & more. It also features three collaborations with Bruce Springsteen including the landmark duet "Wasted Days." While Springsteen and Mellencamp have previously collaborated onstage, they had not recorded before until this new album. Mellencamp confirmed the pair teamed up in the studio at Clive Davis’ virtual 2021 Grammy gala. “Bruce is singing on the new record and is playing guitar,” Mellencamp told Billboard at the time. Springsteen also teased the partnership in a recent interview with Sirius XM’s E Street Radio. The musician said he had recently spent time in Indiana with Mellencamp. “I worked on three songs on John’s album and I spent some time in Indiana with him,” Springsteen revealed. “I love John a lot. He’s a great songwriter and I have become very close [with him] and had a lot of fun with him. I sang a little bit on his record.” Price: $19.98 |
