JOHN MELLENCAMP featuring CARLENE CARTER "sad clowns and hillbillies"
Spotify listen:
they call this one "Americana"..
yeh. i'll go with that...
slightly alternative, slightly country...
lots of dobros, violins, banjos etc...
some electric guitar also and those songs hark back to the mid eighties 'scarecrow' era...
all new songs written by John...
Carlene Carter, never heard of her, but as I guessed, is a member of "the carter family", to be
exact June's daughter, John Cash's step daughter...
she doesn't sing of every track, but instead does just enough to break up the album...
Martina McBride features on my favourite track on here...
not a bad album, and possibly a grower...
