Other People's Stuff
2018 compilation album by John Mellencamp
Other People's Stuff is a compilation album of cover songs by American roots rock musician John Mellencamp. The collection was released by Republic Records on December 7, 2018. The album collects cover songs that Mellencamp previously recorded for various tribute albums, a documentary soundtrack and four of his own studio albums over the past 25 years. The album contains only one song not previously available—a 2012 studio recording of “Eyes on the Prize”, which was the album's only single.
Several of the songs have been at least slightly remixed from their initial release. The CD version of “Teardrops Will Fall,” originally released on Mellencamp's 2003 covers album Trouble No More, is recast as a duet with Karen Fairchild from Little Big Town, with her newly recorded vocal remixed in with Mellencamp's original 2003 vocal. The vinyl and digital versions of the album do not include Fairchild's contribution.
While "I Don't Know Why I Love You" was originally released in 2003, Mellencamp recorded it in 1987 during the sessions for his The Lonesome Jubilee album.
