It’s been 45 years since johnmellencamp released 𝑱𝒐𝒉𝒏 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒂𝒓 🤘 At the time of the album’s release, Mellencamp was performing under the stage name “John Cougar” which inspired the title of his third studio album. In a recent interview with GQ, he stated that “The long jam before the first verse of “I Need A Lover”? “The reason that intro was so long is because we had just discovered that you could change keys in the middle of the song. It’s like ‘Oh listen, if you go to here, we can play the same f*ckin’ part but in a different key and it kinda uplifts the song.” Let us know in the comments below what song from the record you’re listening to this weekend and listen now at the link in our Story! #JohnMellencamp #INeedALover #RockMusic #JohnCougar
