The album—written and produced by Mellencamp himself at his own Belmont Mall Studios in Bloomington, Indiana—features three collaborations with Springsteen including the first album single “Wasted Days.”
Critical acclaim for “Wasted Days”:
NPR MUSIC
“carries an implicit message about making the most of the years, months and minutes we’ve got left”

“The duo sing and strum along to reflective lyrics about the passage of time, which would feel just as relevant at a cornfield bonfire as on the Metro-North.”
BILLBOARD
“Two of the nation’s most beloved chroniclers…sounds like a pair of old friends sitting around a fire.”
PEOPLE
“The singers alternate lines detailing just how precious time can truly be.”
