John Cougar Mellencamp UH-HUH Record. The acoustic version of Pink.Recorded: The Shack, Jackson County, Indiana July 1983John Cougar Mellencamp Uh-Huh LP Record Album Vinyl 33 rpm. Mellencamp had true ability and wasnt just some manufactured hard rocker. Uh-huh was a quantum leap forward and showed that Mr. Uh-Huh was released while American Fool was still high on the charts, and it became a hit, peaking at number nine and generating the Top Ten hits 'Crumblin Down' and 'Pink Houses,' as. The success of American Fool meant that he could add 'Mellencamp' to his stage name, and 1983s Uh-Huh became the first album credited to John Cougar Mellencamp.
Still, Mellencamp was on the map for this first time since he started in 1976. That is until 1982’s American Fool broke through, with its opening single “Hurt So Good” jumping into Billboard at #2 on the Singles Chart and then to #1 with the single “Jack & Diane.” American Fool became the biggest selling album of 1982, but still was largely panned by critics, especially for its uneven working between the singles and the rest of the album. People weren’t buying his records (then under his stage name John Cougar or Johnny Cougar). John Mellencamp had labored for five studio albums in squalor, considered by most critics a never will be living in the shadows of Indiana bar room rock.

Some of the tinges of that record ( Never Kick A Sleeping Dog) can be heard on some of the more uptempo tunes on Uh-huh. In early 1982, Mellencamp produced a Mitch Ryder album at The Shack just to get a feel for the room. Mellencamp said he’d pay for the renovation if he could record and rehearse there for a year. Mellencamp’s friend had a home that was sitting and the friend was procrastinating on renovation. In the Spring of 1983, Mellencamp gathered his band and called in a favor to a friend in Jackson County, Indiana.

The album itself would peak at #9 in the Billboard 200 in early 1984. The first 3 singles on the album all charted in Billboard’s Singles chart and all within the Top 20: “Crumblin’ Down” (#9), “Pink Houses” (#8), and “Authority Song” (#15). Upon its release in 1983, critics were finally nodding their heads in agreement that Mellencamp deserved to be a benchmark among other artists of the time period rather than being compared to a mix between the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen.
Coming in at less than 33 minutes, the album doesn’t beat you to death but like a sugar high, passes out quickly. It loses steam after the A side almost as quickly as the album started. “Crumblin’ Down,” which I think is as much an ode to the Rolling Stones as it is to the Walls of Jericho has been hammered into my head because of classic rock radio.In the end, though, this album has a whole lot of filler in it.
