His new record was originally due in February, but it's finally coming out June 2nd. The new single is classic Mellencamp - socially conscious and rocking.
@Jerseyfornia Have you got a physical copy of this? There's a thread on BTX talking about a song called Perfect World, saying it's actually written by Bruce.
(Disclaimer... I haven't listened to any of it, and have only skimmed the BTX thread. Someone could be having a lend over there for all I know).
I've got the digital release, but I have seen on two separate album info sites that Bruce is listed as a composer, along with John. Neither specifies which song Bruce wrote or co-wrote, but Perfect World is the most Bruce-sounding of the lyrics.
I was still listening when it released, so I got it and I'm staying up for one more listen. My first impression is this is very reminiscent of the Big Daddy album, like a late sequel.

John put the rest of the album up on youtube. I'm loving every moment.
I've only heard three songs now, but this is shaping up to be one of his best latter-day records. I can hardly wait for the damn thing to come out.
The Eyes of Portland. I'm so looking forward to this record. I think it's gonna call for a ride out and listen somewhere remote.
Having Lisa Germano back in the band is having a very positive effect on the sound, to my ears. Great song.
