Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - MOJO ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Only want to buy one Tom Petty album? Buy this! A digital recording but produced and mastered to absolute perfection! MOJO is great rock, recorded superbly and mastered for vinyl by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. You will hear bass here that pretty much surpasses most other releases by a long way. Produced by Mike Campbell, Tom Petty and Ryan Ulyate and recorded at The Clubhouse, Los Angeles. Every track's a cracker and Petty performs some wonderful guitar work as usual! Stand out track by far is 'Good Enough'! Not just Good Enough mind - bloody amazing!

To quote the Rolling Stone Magazine -

"It was worth the wait. Mojo is dynamite — Petty and the Heartbreakers' matured return to the elementary fury of their first golden-twang era, capped by 1981's Hard Promises. The performances are natural knockouts — cocksure grooves, pithy knife-play guitars and little overdub fuss — worked up, then nailed, some on the first full take, at the band's suburban Los Angeles rehearsal space. Petty can't help stressing the authenticity here. The credits include the make and vintage of every instrument and the exact tracking date of each song. That's Petty playing a 1964 Gibson ES-335 guitar and lead guitarist Mike Campbell wielding his steady weapon, a '59 Les Paul Sunburst, on April 28th of last year, in the opening number, "Jefferson Jericho Blues."
