## About <!--about-->
Trouble No More is the 2003 album of blues and folk covers by American singer-songwriter John Mellencamp, his 18th studio album and his last recording for Columbia Records.[^wiki] This barcode is the original North American compact disc, catalogue number CK 90133, released on 3 June 2003. Discogs lists it on a US enhanced CD pressed at Sony Music's plant in Pitman, New Jersey,[^discogs] and on a Canadian pressing made and distributed by Sony Music Entertainment (Canada).[^discogs-ca] Its twelve tracks include songs by Robert Johnson, Son House, Woody Guthrie and Lucinda Williams.[^discogs] A reworked "To Washington", with new lyrics critical of President George W. Bush and the Iraq War, caused controversy on release,[^wiki] and the album reached number 31 on the Billboard 200.[^wiki]

The old Barcodepedia page, captured in March 2007, titled this barcode "Trouble No More".[^barcodepedia-2007] Discogs also lists European, Japanese, Australian and Mexican editions under other numbers, and digital reissues.[^discogs-master]
