John Mellencamp November 27, 2010

With such hits as 'Jack and Diane' and 'Small Town' under his belt, John Mellencamp is one of the more enduring stars in rock. The "No Better Than This" tour will feature classic Mellencamp material, from his 35 year long career, as well as music from his new album 'No Better Than This.' Of special note is the fact that the tour's "opening act," is a documentary film by Kurt Markus entitled 'It's About You.' Shot on Super8 film over the course of last year's Bob Dylan-John Mellencamp-Willie Nelson tour of minor league baseball stadiums, it chronicles the creation of 'No Better Than This' while serving as a cinematic "think piece" on the state of the country at the end of the first decade of the 21st Century. Markus, whose still work has put him in the front ranks of contemporary American photographers, has been cited for his extraordinary vision of his work documenting the American West and is the recipient of Life Magazine's Alfred Eisenstaedt Photography Award.
