I really, really liked Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. At first. But there was something about them, or more correctly, about him, that didn't wear well with me. I at first just lost interest, eventually coming to actually dislike him. I know a lot of others still like him, and I appreciate that.
But I was in my favorite Portland record store yesterday, and out of their system came a sound I recognized, a sound I love; it was The Dwight Twilley Band, a long-time favorite of mine. Wait a minute, no it's not. It's Dwight singing backgrounds on "Strangered In The Night", a song on the first TP & THB album. Now THAT'S more like it! Everyone who has and likes that album, give a listen to "SITN". See how much better that song is than the others on the album? Now, go and buy the first Dwight Twilley Band album, Sincerely. Prepare to be blown away!
