Here’s a fascinating piece of Mellencamp history that often gets overlooked in discussions of his catalog. “Nothin’ Matters And What If It Did” captures John Cougar at a pivotal moment in 1980, still working under his imposed stage name but beginning to find the heartland rock voice that would define his career. This album bridges the gap between his earlier attempts at fitting industry molds and the authentic American storytelling that would emerge on “American Fool” just two years later. The record features some genuinely compelling songwriting, particularly on tracks like “Ain’t Even Done With the Night” which became a respectable chart hit, and the introspective title track that hints at the philosophical depth he’d explore throughout the decade.
