Really like the rockin nature of the song, but just can't get past his voice which I do't think works with this, especially at the beginning. Averages out to a 5 - Decent. His voice does seem to get smoother as the song goes on... strange.

I saw this song title on the Now Playing screen and thought of the Steve Miler song of a similar name. I would rather hear that one.

I've always had a great amount of respect for Tom Petty, but never a huge fan of his music. The new Mojo album and songs like this one, however, may change that - RP strikes again!! |

This is a good song and one may not hear it elsewhere, but a great many of Tom Petty's tunes are on the play-lists of bland FM stations all over the country, and have been for over thirty years. |

Yeah, I always think of La Grange when I hear the guitar riff. There are only so many permutations of blues licks unfortunately. |

Petty is using a very old chord progression. Same with Top.
From the five minutes of research I've done, it looks like it appeared on record for the first time in the 20s, recorded by a delta bluesman named Tommy Johnson.
That's more like it. My impression of ZZ Top as highly derivative remains intact. |
