Hurts So Good
John Cougar
Riva Records/1982 

One of three hits off the album “American Fool.” Recorded back when he was still John Cougar. And hadn’t yet married a supermodel. Or dated a ’90s-era movie star. We think he probably still wears chaps, though.

We love the music of the 80's. The good, the bad, and the downright ugly. It's all here.

Any band or artist that recorded during the 1980's is welcomed here. But we reserve the right to include pioneers from the 70's and the hearty few that made it into the early 90's as well. So please, no quibbling about release dates.

So stay awhile and flip through our collection.
