Plain spoken : from the Chicago Theatre

"A self-narrated musical journey, the film encapsulates the sound and soul of John Mellencamp. Stepping outside the boundaries of a concert film or documentary, Plain Spoken blends highly personal voiceovers from Mellencamp with live footage of him performing with his full band at the historic Chicago Theatre, just 250 miles from his Indiana home state. Mellencamp tells us the story of his Midwestern upbringing, the trials, turns and triumphs of his career, and his overall outlook on life, while the music plays, supporting his stories ... In addition to the full film with Mellencamp's commentary, this audio-visual release offers a "non-commentary" option in which viewers can watch the concert on its own. The audio-visual set is completed with a CD of concert audio. The set, which includes special guest Carlene Carter, showcases Mellencamp performing his most cherished songs ... cherry-picked from his catalogue, as well as songs from his most recent album, Sad Clowns And Hillbillies".
