The record


Title: John Cougar Mellencamp - Uh-Huh
Year/Genre: 1983, Heartland Rock, Pop Rock, 10/26
Matrix #: RVL7504
Condition: EX (LM) | Members: John M (51' - ) | Producer: John Mellencamp, Don Gehman
Cultural Facts:

  1. The “Cougar” Name Wasn't His Idea: Early in his career, managers pushed John Mellencamp to record under the name “Johnny Cougar,” which he disliked. By Uh-Huh, he was actively reclaiming his real surname, making this album an important step in shedding that manufactured identity.
  2. A Farm-Town Anthem Before Farm Aid: “Pink Houses” turned small-town American imagery into one of Mellencamp's signature songs. Just two years later, he would co-found Farm Aid with Willie Nelson and Neil Young to support family farmers.
  3. Recorded With His Road Band: Mellencamp wanted Uh-Huh to feel tougher and more immediate than his earlier records, so he leaned heavily on the musicians who were already playing with him live. That gave songs like “Crumblin' Down” and “Authority Song” their rougher, bar-band energy.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
