John Mellencamp’s New Live CD Companion “Life, Death, Live, and Freedom”…Includes “If I Die Sudden (Live Radio Edit)” Plus 2009 Tour Dates With Bob Dylan & Willie Nelson
Rock God Cred Report:
Click here to check John Mellencamp’s “If I Die Sudden (Live Radio Edit)”…from the great live companion cd to the studio version of “Life Death Love, and Freedom”. Mellencamp is definitely in his element when he’s on stage. The live versions of “Longest Days”, “My Sweet Love”, and “A Ride Back Home” are true gems. Hopefully this becomes a trend, and John will release more live companion cd’s with his classics from the past “Scarecrow, Uh Huh, Nothing Matters, American Fool, and Lonesome Jubilee”. A nice touch!
