Tonight, I am going back to 1985 for tonight's #VinylAndBeerSunday. I must have listened to JOHN COUGAR MELLENCAMP's eighth release, SCARECROW, a million times on cassette. The album, featuring the hit "Small Town," was a part of my life soundtrack driving around Ohio after graduation from college. I would later take the albums when I moved to California that fall. There are great tunes here, but my favorites are "Rain on the Scarecrow" and "Rumbleseat." And it sure sounds good on vinyl. My brew tonight is an impressive Imperial IPA from WIDMER BROTHERS out of Portland, OR. The beer, known as DEADLIFT IMPERIAL IPA, is a rich malty concoction with lots of hops in the finish. Cheers! So...what are you listening to tonight? What are you drinking? #vinyl #vinylcollection #pizzanight #johncougarmellencamp #scarecrow #vinylcommunity #beer #beerstagram #beermusic #widmerbrothers #oregonbeer @johnmellencamp @widmerbrothers (at Salem, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck7LPI0rC5m/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I call up my preacher I say: "Gimme strength for Round 5" He said: "You don't need no strength, you need to grow up, son" #johnmellencamp but he’ll always be #johncougarmellencamp to me. #vinyl #saturdayspins #ainthatamerica https://www.instagram.com/p/CpXteFwucQ2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Album Number Two Hundred Seventy Two. “The Lonesome Jubilee” is the ninth studio album by American singer-songwriter #johnmellencamp, credited as #johncougarmellencamp. The album was released by #mercuryrecords on August 24, 1987. Four singles were released from the album, the first two in 1987 and the last two in 1988. My copy is a gatefold on Mercury Record - 832 465-1 Q-1. The album was one of Mellencamp's most successful worldwide, charting in ten countries. The album was most successful in Canada where it topped RPM magazine's Top Albums chart and became the artist's highest certified album by Music Canada (formerly the Canadian Recording Industry Association) becoming 6x platinum. #rockandroll #heartlandrock #theeighties #thelonesomejubilee https://www.instagram.com/p/CZo8q3eONGv/?utm_medium=tumblr
