Editorial Product Review: :The Best That I Could Do collects the singles that led John Mellencamp into the radio/jukebox pantheon he celebrated in 'R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A.' and 'Cherry Bomb.' While albums such as American Fool, Uh Huh, and Scarecrow held Top 10 spots for months, their spinoff hits made this Hoosier disciple of Jagger, J.B., and Iggy into something like a Reagan-era John Fogerty: not only were 'Pink Houses,' 'Paper in Fire,' and 'Crumblin' Down' wise (and wiseacre) dispatches from ...
Editorial Product Review: :The heartland rocker's first album of all-new material in more than five years finds John Mellencamp in full anthem mode. This is his State of the Union address, with guitars that chime like the Byrds heralding sentiments that recall the socially-conscious 1960s, yet sound all the more pertinent today. Balancing the desolate landscape of 'Ghost Towns Along the Highway,' the hell-on-earth of 'Rural Route,' and the tolls demanded on the title track's 'Freedom's Road' are the embrace of ...

Editorial Product Review: :When was the last time you heard collard greens being sung about in a Christmas song? Probably never, unless you're a Run DMC fan, or were wise enough to hop on the Very Special Christmas tip. The rappers' contribution to this benefit collection is probably the highlight, although traditional songs covered by now-traditional artists like the Pretenders ('Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas') provide the majority of the material here. Eurythmics turn in a suitably chilly 'Winter Wonderland,' ...

Editorial Product Review: :Compare this to John Mellencamp's previous hits set, The Best That I Could Do 1978-1988, and it quickly becomes apparent how much the artist formerly known as John Cougar has grown in the second phase of his career. Following a 1994 heart attack, the songwriter transformed from cocky jukebox hero to compassionate everyman, trading in big pop riffs for sublime, politically charged songs that echo the outspoken work of Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young. Spanning 25 years, this ...
Small and light enough for a shirt pocket, Samsung's Helix YX-M1 is a one-stop audio entertainment center with an XM radio, a digital music player, and room for 50 hours of tunes, but it comes up short on battery life.
