Other People's Stuff

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.

Reception
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars, calling it a "summation of what Mellencamp loves about America." In Paste, Lee Zimmerman gave the recording a 7.2 out of 10, writing that several songs "maintain that sense of resolve, yet still offer due reverence to the originals." The album debuted at the top of the Top Rock Albums chart. ==Track listing==
