John Mellencamp streams unreleased Scarecrow track Carolina Shag

John Mellencamp is streaming a lyric video for “Carolina Shag”, a previously-unreleased track recorded during sessions for his 1985 album, “Scarecrow.”

The song is one of several bonus tracks included in the November 4 release of an expanded Deluxe reissue of the project, which originally reached No. 2 on the US Billboard 200 on its way to sales of more than 5 million copies in the region.

The “Scarecrow Deluxe” reissue will be issued as a box set including 2 CDs of newly-remixed and remastered songs plus previously unreleased alternate versions, a booklet full of rare photographs and all new liner notes by acclaimed author and music critic Anthony DeCurtis.
