While AMERICAN FOOL wasn't John Cougar's first full-length recording, it was the one wherein he gained commercial and artistic footing, and established a formula that would become his trademark style--simple roots-rock melodies with stirring choruses, unguardedly emotional vocals, and lyrics that reflect the experiences of the common man.\u003cbr\u003eAlbum opener \"Hurts So Good\" is a playful rocker (with a dangerously catchy refrain) that has become part of the pop canon, and \"Jack \u0026amp; Diane\" is one of the great slice-of-life songs of the '80s. While both songs loom large, other overlooked treasures include \"China Girl,\" with its cheeky faux-Chinese guitar riff, and the ballad \"Weakest Moments,\" which blends transcendent acoustic-guitar changes with a gorgeous, careworn melody. Here and elsewhere on this well-written record, Cougar proves he's nobody's fool.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Release Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"mysite","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57454092616024,"sku":"2E77NG-L34U-00","price":4.92,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/ateliervinyls.com\/products\/john-mellencamp-american-fool-vinyl-1","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
