John Mellencamp has released a brand new politically charged song called “Eyes on the Prize.” The song was originally performed at the White House back in 2010.
This new version of “Eyes on the Prize” will appear on the new release from Mellencamp, Other People’s Stuff, which will be released on December 7th.
About the new release, Mellencamp commented “Most, if not all, of the songs on Other People’s Stuff come from The Great American Songbook. These are songs that have been recorded over the last 40 years of my career, but had never been put together as one piece of work. Now, they have.”
Mellencamp will be hitting the road in early-2019 as well for his “John Mellencamp Show,” in support of Other People’s Stuff. The tour will kick off on February 7th in South Bend, Indiana and wrap up on March 30th in Clearwater, Florida.
