I remember hearing these songs on the radio back in 1985 when I was in Vocational school. I always wanted to buy the album but had limited funds back then. Finally I now own the CD. Minutes to Memories is the best song. The album was motivated by his Indiana roots. Later in life those farming experiences motivated him to get together with Willie Nelson and Neil Young to create Farm Aid. If you buy any album by John Mellencamp buy this one!

I purchased this CD because I grew up listening to this as well as other Mellencamp songs. I was born and raised in Indiana and this album was created in direct reference to the many farmers that lost their land. Mellencamp has always been a huge icon at Indiana University and he has played many free concerts there. Sadly, I have never had the chance to see him live but I would absolutely love to! Even if you cannot relate to the farmers or anything personal within this album, it is still a fantastic addition to your music collection :)
I got this cd in perfect condition. I do not own an ipod, so I still buy cd's. I have been collecting eighties cd's and coming across John Mellencamp was definitely a must buy for me. He is an artist you can listen to and never get bored. I was really happy, instead of paying $19.99 and up for the cd at a music store, I got a great deal.
It skips on one song, scarecrow. The main song I bought it for. But for the great price I could not see sending it back.
