‘Album Side Sunday’ Features John Cougar Mellencamp’s ‘Uh-Huh’

Hmmm...which John Cougar album should we play?

It's already the last weekend of June and that means at 8 a.m. on the 'KING FM Sunday Brunch' we'll be playing an album side. To prepare for the opening Night Show of Cheyenne Frontier Days, July 18, we're playing a side of John Cougar-Mellencamp.

His first album to feature his real last name was 'Uh-Huh,' released in 1983. We'll be playing side one of his seventh album which features the tracks:

1. 'Crumblin' Down' (co-written by George Green)

2. 'Pink Houses'

3. 'Authority Song'

4. 'Warmer Place To Sleep' (Green, Mellencamp)

Bonus track: 'Jackie O' (co-written by John Prine. From side 2) I couldn't resist.

Personnel on the album includes:

• Ken Aronoff-drums

• Larry Crane-guitar

• Toby Myers-bass

• Mike Wanchic-guitar, background vocals

Plus special guests:

• Willie Weeks-bass guitar

• Louis Johnson-bass

• Carroll Sue Hill-backing vocals

On the back of the inner sleeve it says, 'This album was written, arranged and recorded during a sixteen day blow-out at THE SHACK.' Referring to The Shack in Jackson County, Indiana, Mellencamp's recording studio.
