Hate to disagree with all you folks who like the new Petty, but my initial,
all too hasty reaction to it is not positive. I hate the way Petty's vocals
are produced (especially "Free Girl Now") and he doesn't really sing until
the fifth or sixth song. Too much Dylan, not enough McGuinn. Needed a few
more tunes like "Accused of Love". Heartbreakers sound good though. But
hey what do I know, I think "Full Moon Fever" is a classic.
Been enjoying that Tal Bachman record somebody recommended the other day.
Great pop songs. Unlike Petty though, he perhaps oversings on a few songs.
Very promising start though.
My 2 cents,
Slonedog

The new Tom Petty record got a raving review in the local paper
this morning, with the writer saying it's his best work in 20 years.
Anyone heard it?
