Yes and the sound quality is awesome but no Alan Parsons SFX - it is just the band playing live with no overdubs sounding just like they do. If you like JJ Cale as well as older style southern blues then this is a great album.

If you are expecting chorus driven standard TP & The Heartbreakers type pop/rock hits then this may not be for you. It really is a tribute to the older kind of music that Tom Petty, Benmont, and Campbell like to listen to themselves.
I agree with the above re: Petty- both on music and SQ. On the music front, the name says it all. The "Mojo" Petty is talking about was a late '60s kinda phenomenon and that's exactly where the record is rooted. It covers a lot of ground from that era - sort of a mini Woodstock.

BTW, Ron Wood's new release "I Feel Like Playing" barks up the same tree, but with even less pop "sheen" and much less impressive (though not terrible) SQ. Another one in this genre is Los Lobos "Tin Can Trust". Over time, I'm liking the Ronnie Wood and Lobos more and the Petty a bit less. All 3 are definitely worth owning, and only Petty makes the "audiophile" cut...IMHO.
