User Album Review
Plain Spoken covers a variety of lyrical content in it’s ten song track list, from lost love to political views and world issues. It opens with Troubled Man, a song about unfulfilled promise and a perfectly fitting guitar riff for a Mellencamp record. It reintroduces us to that unmistakable husky voice most artists would have to smoke a pack of cigarettes just to get close to. Mellencamp sounds weary with a message and Troubled Man grabs your attention right away.
While Plain Spoken is definitely a less highly produced, fully fledged rock anthem like R.O.C.K in the U.S.A for example, this bare, folky sound feels like the stories of a hard working man, now kicking up his heels and reflecting on an incredible journey. --- renownedforsound.com
