He also said that Petty is closing on N. Young as the most SQ obsessed artist on their roster.
Petty owns ATC SCM 50's and so does his sound engineer, Ryan Ulyate. IMHO, he has always been obsessed about SQ. They perform together with the kind of precise discipline that you very rarely see today.
Mojo seems to be a sort of a tribute to older style blues of the 60's and 70's and not just the UK Blues style but American too. It seems to be mostly pre-70's style in the sense that there are no self-indulgent long winded boring show off solos that became prevalent in that period. In fact my favorite tracks keep changing. The influences seem to come from everywhere. It is surprising how catchy the stuff is without the usual chorus "hooks" that the HB's are better known for. Mike Campbell is being let loose and it is a good thing ...but far from going overboard he plays with such tasteful skill and restraint that it is a pleasure to behold.
As many famous musicians have stated "it is just as important what you DON'T play as what you do".
This album is a gem. And the sound quality is amazing.
