I try to give you folks a nicely mixed bag of sounds on here (even if I do tend to lean heavily towards the country/folk/americana realm). With that said, I am truly excited about the new release from the legendary Tom Petty. Mojo will be out on June 15th. This album has Petty jamming with his band, the equally legendary Heartbreakers, and the fact is, they can still bring it.
It was in 1995 when I caught Petty (with the Jayhawks opening) for one of my very first big-time rock shows. His Wildflowers album, and even their greatest hits collection, were riding high (pun intended) on the charts and hopefully, the new one will as well. What I have heard so far is pretty sweet and shows that Petty, Campbell, Tench and the rest of the gang haven’t seen fit to slow down or become complacent with just being aging rockers.
