4.0 out of 5 stars Just too short John! But not a bad CD, December 21, 2004

Thanks for reading. Barely a half hour long ( JUST OVER 29 MINS ), this CD is way too short!
Has some great songs though. I really like the title track and " When margaret comes to town"
Not as gritty as some of his work, but most fans will appreciate the style and content as familiar, solid music from this great singer/ songwriter.
My CD also came with a bonus CD, that had another 5 tracks ( live mixs, acoustic versions etc ) on it, making this a worthwhile purchase for me. (I admit I rarely listen to that though.)
Overall for fans only I think

4.0 out of 5 stars Mellencamp Bares All, February 7, 2001

This review is from: Dance Naked (Audio CD)

Dance Naked was a surprise release by John Mellencamp. The album was released only a few months after Human wheels and was spurred on by his biggest hit of the 90's (and since Cherry Bomb in 1988), the Van Morrison cover "Wild Night". Me'shell NdegeOcello duets with Mr. Mellencamp and her pulsating bass provides a strong backbone to the song. The party atmosphere of that song is in sharp contrast to the rest of the album. The album's title is appropriate as the other songs are barer in nature. The title track, "Another Sunny Day 12/25", "L.U.V." and "The Big Jack" are especially strong. coupled with Human Wheels, Dance Naked find Mr. Mellencamp will to expose himself to the public.

This is really a good album, every song, from the hit "Wild Night" with Me'shell Ndegeocello is a good song, but why only 9 songs? It's not even like they are long. The longest is only 3 minutes 37 seconds. But, despite that fact, this album rocks. And in the tradition of Springsteen his songs tell stories of everyday life... "Brothers" is a Cain and Abel type of story, "Another Sunny Day" is a poignant song in the folk style about the state of the world. This album is so good, it really makes you wish it was at least one-more-song longer.
