Mellencamp calls the album a collection of “modern electric folk songs.” “Life, Death, Love & Freedom” was recorded at his studio in Bloomington, Indiana and produced by T Bone Burnett.
It’s another winner for Starbuck’s Hear Music company too. The album will be the first ever release in the ΧΟΔΕ (CODE) format, developed by T Bone Burnett and his team of engineers. This new high-definition audio format claims to add warmth and presence, and will be playable on all DVD players and DVD drives.
The CODE version of “Life, Death, Love and Freedom” is a DVD that will come packaged with a standard CD version of the album, available at all retail outlets, at no additional cost to the consumer. The DVD’s content can be copied into most computer music software including iTunes and can, then, be downloaded onto personal music players such as the iPod. The standard CD is included to answer all possible compatibility questions.
Mellencamp commented, “When T Bone introduced me to CODE, it was a remarkable experience. I could hear the music the way it was intended to be heard. I’m very happy the people are going to be able to share this experience in a way that’s so true to our original intent.”
