Description

On The Rural Route 7609 is a four CD set that chronicles John Mellencamp's career with a focus on his songwriting.

The songs selected reflect the artist's pop idol origins through his ascent to the ranks of America's most respected and socially active writers and performers. On The Rural Route 7609 offers 17 tracks previously unreleased on any John Mellencamp CD including guest readings of Mellencamp's lyrics by Academy Award ® winning actress Joanne Woodward and best selling author/educator Dr. Cornel West.

The discs are packaged within a 72-page book that includes an exhaustive essay and comprehensive track-by-track annotation by award-winning writer Anthony DeCurtis. The package includes rare and evocative photos printed on heavy stock that make On The Rural Route 7609 a distinctive set of albums, in the sense that albums -- as originally conceived in earlier times -- are cohesive collections of music.
