Pre-orders and trailer available now
John Mellencamp launches the pre-order for the live album to accompany the upcoming documentary The Good Samaritan Tour 2000 out on August 27th. CD and LP editions are available via Republic Records.
The Good Samaritan Tour 2000 will also be streamed on Turner Classic Movie’s (TCM) YouTube channel August 27th with Mellencamp appearing as a guest programmer on the network in September.
The documentary, which is narrated by Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, chronicles Mellencamp’s historic tour in 2000 when he performed for free in public parks and common spaces across the country. The film was executive produced by Federal Films, produced by John Mellencamp and Randy Hoffman, directed by Shan Dan Horan, mixed by Andy York and has special contributions by Nora Guthrie.
The album and film were announced earlier this year, along with Mellencamp working on his 25th studio album. The roots rocker is also working on an untitled original play directed by Kathleen Marshall.
