Academy Award winning actress Joanne Woodward will be heard reading the lyrics of John Mellencamp on his upcoming box set.

Mellencamp has created a 4CD set to focus on his songwriting and as part of the presentation Woodward and best selling author Dr. Cornel West will recite the lyrics to some of the songs in the collection.

‘On Rural Route 7609’ will feature 54 tracks, 17 previously unreleased on the 4 discs. A 72-page booklet and track-by-track annoted by writer Anthony DeCurtis will also be included.

Mellencamp said about the collection, “I started making records in ’76, and the most recent track on the collection was done in ‘09. So Rural Route 7609; it’s like an address. I thought it sounded cool.”
