I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s mystery artist is said to have made fiddles, hammer dulcimers, autoharps and accordions lead rock instruments on a par with the electric guitar, bass and drums. Any guess the artists or the song??

According to the late Billboard magazine editor-in-chief Timothy White said in 2001: "John Mellencamp is arguably the most important roots rocker of his generation. John has made fiddles, hammer dulcimers, autoharps and accordions lead rock instruments on a par with electric guitar, bass and drums, and he also brought what he calls 'a raw Appalachian' lyrical outlook to his songs”

Tonight's featured song is ‘I Need A Lover’ was John’s first top 40 hit and he has stated it was inspired by The Rolling Stones 1972 song ‘Happy’. This video is from Australia and rightly so. it was a hit song there before it was ever even released in the U.S.
