John Cougar and the American listening public became inseparable after this landmark album arrived in 1982. 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. Album 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\r\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedia Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve Condition: Mint (M)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Type: LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 06\/10\/2016\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"- ROCK *NEW*","offer_id":49252236951794,"sku":"ZNIROC-4EDM-08","price":26.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/john-mellencamp-american-fool_oOuTU_ad8cc4dd-1a96-4068-9699-45b5c007f86a.jpg?v=1779607303","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/john-mellencamp-american-fool-180g-mint-m-mint-m","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
