Chris's Session - Sep 2026
We explored musical lineage and bifurcation, early‑career love turning into later‑career disappointment, and the struggle of trying (and failing) to pass our favourite albums on to family.
commentsJohn Mellencamp - Plain Spoken (2014)
I took a bit of a punt on this record. While not my usual cup of tea, I do recognise that I need to “grow up” a bit and find a softer, more lyrical side to my musical universe. Besides, what have I got to lose at $6.98 for a nice slab of vinyl!?
It didn’t take long to allay any fears of making a poor judgement call - it’s a bit of a cracker actually.
Softly spoken like some old, husky blues man, and wearing that big heart of his on his sleeve, he’s a great story teller. The politicians and bankers cop the most. I’d love to hear his post-election “tribute” to Trump.
