First time hearing this song and I'm diggin' it. Tom Petty's catalog of tunes is just as impressive as the Stones.

I've never been a fan of this type of winey-voice singing, so even though I like the music backing it, just can't stand the singing!

I agree!  I'm more interested in Petty because of this CD.  I really like the music and the guitar licks on each song.  I heard this CD first here on RP.  Thanks Bill!

He just keeps going, doesn't he?  Reliable Tom and the Heartbreakers.  Always with a good song you can recognize - and sing along.

This album is among TP&H's best imho.

AMSTERDAM – Soms zijn er van die concerten waar je bij geweest had moeten zijn. Die van Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers in de HMH was er zo een; voor het eerst in dertig jaar in volle glorie te bewonderen in Nederland.   
NU.nl/Paul Barendregt
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers  

Fans onder de veertig hebben Tom Petty mogelijk nog nooit live gezien, of ze hebben er een reis voor naar het buitenland moeten ondernemen. De kaarten voor zijn show waren prijzig en de HMH is voor zijn doen intiem. Hoewel Petty in de VS volle stadions trekt, moet de man in Nederland met minder genoegen nemen.

Zijn humeur is er niet minder op, want zowel de bebaarde zanger als zijn metgezellen sprankelen op de bühne. Te beginnen met Listen To Her Heart. In hoog tempo volgen diverse hits van het collectief, waaronder I Won’t Back Down, Don’t Come Around Here No More, Here Comes My Girl en Free Fallin’.

Ook Handle With Care van Traveling Wilburys (de supergroep waarvan Petty deel uitmaakte) komt voorbij in een sterke, natuurgetrouwe uitvoering, waarbij toetsenist en gitarist Scott Thurston de vocale partijen van Roy Orbison voor zijn rekening neemt. Een andere cover is die van Oh Well van Fleetwood Mac.

Pearl Jam

Petty heeft nog wat verrassingen in petto voor het publiek. Zo speelt hij onder meer minder bekende nummers van de albums Wildflowers en zijn meest recente plaat Mojo (uit 2010, nu heruit met live-cd). Voor het nummer The Waiting haalt hij Pearl Jam-zanger Eddie Vedder op het podium, tot groot plezier van de toeschouwers.

Vedder keert aan het eind van het concert terug voor de toegift, in de vorm van American Girl, hoewel hij niet alle hoge noten haalt. Hij mag het met zijn eigen bandje nog eens proberen in de Ziggo Dome deze week, al zal Vedder hard zijn best moeten doen om Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers te overtreffen.

Found myself drumming on the desk instead of writing up field notes, .... so I guess TP is hitting the groove on this one.  He does that a lot.

this is obviously a rock'n'roll rehash that just screams mainstream after hearing the riff the third time around.

3:  Because I have 'established' the inferiority of your tastes I can draw any baseless and exaggerated conclusion.
4:  I conclude that you must like Britney Spears' music - there are no other possibilities.

 
Totally agreed.  I was supporting the usage of the Britney meme itself.  Britney as the cornerstone of the conclusion in that tired argument/insult is lame.

The only reason this song isn't a 10 is that I'm pretty sure it's going to get stuck in my head, and when Petty gets stuck in my head it's normally the full arrangement, which is very annoying.

I can not agree with you. Best album of TP & H think «Into The Great Wide Open». Compared to whom «MOJO» — nothing.

I was never touched by TP, but hearing the new tracks from this album has me going for the rate button and shoving up to the high side. A new one for in the car.

I have heard good things about this album and I must say I am surprised! Not the usual suckage from Mr. Petty; seems to be his MO; puts out one great album a decade in between a bunch of dreck!{#Lol}

This album is a real joy.  There are some great songs and a lot of mainstream rockers, but the band is cohesive and energized, and it shows in the recording.  I think many of the songs were recorded live to 2 track, which is the mark of a great band.

The "live" recording gives you an idea of how very, very good they are as a band without the sound compromises of most live venues. What I find remarkable about the album, however, is its heavy tilt toward R&B and blacktop blues, something they've occasionally dabbled in but haven't released in such a concentration. Mike Campbell just sizzles as does Tench with the B3 fills.

Mojo is one answer to the question, "What do we do with old, gray rockers?" Neil Young is another.

 
{#Clap}  Well-said, WonderLizard!  I've loved every cut I've heard from this latest TP work.  I don't think his voice sounds thin, but if it does, it might be because he's getting older!  Or, as is typical for him, he deliberately messes with his vocals to depict sarcasm, pathos, angst, and a host of other emotions. Most artists don't bother.  Just another reason why Mojo is my favorite Tom Petty CD these days.

The intro to this song to me sounds EXACTLY like Leonard Cohen "The Future".  I'm always slightly bummed when it's not Leonard.....  {#Sad}
