Multi-platinum-selling and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter John (Cougar) Mellencamp is known for his heartland rock style in the vein of Springsteen, Tom Petty and Bob Seger. In the U.S., he's amassed 22 Top 40 hits in a musical career spanning more than 35 years.

This is one of five classic Mellencamp albums from the limited edition 5LP vinyl box set, The Viny Collection 1982-1989 from Mercury/Universal Music Enterprises. Each album is also sold separately.

Released in 1982, John (Cougar) Mellencamp's fifth album, American Fool, hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Fueled by the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper "Jack & Diane," the Grammy-winning No. 2 single "Hurts So Good," and the Top 20 "Hand To Hold On To," American Fool was the year's bestselling album in the U.S. and is certified five-times platinum.
