New Tom Petty


Well, what do you think? Bought it last night, have'nt gotten to it yet,but from what I've read about it, sounds very interesting....

Like it as well. Thought it would have the warm tubey magic of Dave Alvin but it is a much more traditional sounding album, almost a throwback to the Yardbirds era of British R & B. Agree with Shadorne--this will sound amazing live. My favorite track is "Pirate's Cove."
Just got my copy. Agree with virtually everything posted here, a great record. I'm told that they'll be at Hollywood Bowl (with ZZ Top opening up) in the fall and I'm lining up seats right now. Mike Campbell and Billy G., the expectation bar is high.

Finally got to hear it this weekend. Hopefully alot of engineers listen to it also,maybe there is hope for the modern rock recording. Sounds great.

Yes it is indeed a throwback to the way traditional blues were played by British. However, it has a distinctly American feel to it also - one cis left in no doubt that this is American with a Southern feel. I have had it on heavy rotation for a week and it is staying in my regular listening line up. Furthermore the album seems to be well thought out - it is a pleasure to listen to from end to end - there is enough variety to keep it interesting - there is even a Reggae number! Steve's drumming also adds a light touch - I recall Steve played with Eric Claptin for years...

Given the style of music a line up with ZZ to seems to be most appropriate.
I ordered a copy from Amazon because of all of the positive comments here. It came today and I really like it to. It has a great rock vibe to it.
