Packaged in an environmentally friendly cardboard sleeve, Mellencamp has called this his CD of "modern electric folksongs." Life, Death, Love and Freedom contains 14 tracks, most of which are about life, death and love--hence the title.
Bluesy, but in a different manner than 2003's superb Trouble No More (Columbia), Life Death Love and Freedom is very much Mellencamp writing and creating his own folk/country blues songs rather than covering classics by Robert Johnson, Willie Dixon, Son House, Memphis Minnie and even Hoagy Carmichael...
