According to a 2003 article on, Cary sent Mellencamp's guitarist Mike Wanchic a copy of Out of My Dreams, an album he had recorded with his band the Nightcrawlers. Mellencamp had written "Lovin' Mother Fo Ya" and was playing it live on his 1982 American Fool tour before it was even recorded (and before Cary had anything to do with the song). Of "Jackie O", Mellencamp said on The Bob & Tom Show in November 2004: "I can't take credit – John Prine wrote most of that song."

From 1983 to 1987, Mellencamp released three consecutive albums Uh-Huh (1983), Scarecrow (1985), and The Lonesome Jubilee (1987)which were all certified Triple Platinum by the RIAA.
