The project delivers a dozen new songs from the Indiana rocker – including three with Bruce Springsteen, with whom he shared the set’s lead single, “Wasted Days”, back in September.
“I worked on three songs on John’s album and I spent some time in Indiana with him,” shared Springsteen earlier this year, reports Rolling Stone. “I love John a lot. He’s a great songwriter and I have become very close [with him] and had a lot of fun with him. I sang a little bit on his record.”
The 2022 album marks Mellencamp’s 25th studio release and first since the 2018 covers project, “Other’s People’s Stuff.”
The singer has issued a lyric video for the set’s latest preview, “Chasing Rainbows.”
