There’s a release date for John Mellencamp’s new album, Orpheus Descending! The rocker’s new record drops on June 2, less than a month after he plays three nights at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
Orpheus Descending is Mellencamp’s 25th album and this one was produced by him and it was recorded at his very own Belmont Mall Studio. According to a release, this is the legendary heartland rock singer’s most personal album to date. To celebrate the release, Mellencamp just dropped the opening track, “Hey God.” It’s one of two tracks that focus on “social issues Mellencamp continues to passionately advocate for.”
Pre-order Orpheus Descending here and check out Mellencamp when he’s in Nashville this May. He’ll play the historic Ryman stage on May 8, 9 and 10.
