John Mellencamp has compiled a collection of songs by others he has covered for the album ‘Other People’s Stuff’.

John describes the collective as a work in progress built over 40 years. In a statement Mellencamp said, “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.”
