Two giants of easy-listening pop team up for this larger than life collaboration. Deftly fusing Jones's bluster with Holland's sophistication, they rattle through a collection of old-school rock 'n' roll, rhythm & blues & country classics, as well as several originals. ...

Neatly fitting in between 1993's GREATEST HITS & the 5-CD PLAYBACK box set that came out two years later, this 34-track collection is a chronological tour of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' MCA Records material. The consistent quality found throughout this two-CD set that's bookended by the sinister-sounding " Breakdown" & chiming " Surrender" (a song Petty wrote in the '70s but didn't get around to recording until August 2000) boggles the mind. Tight playing & a palpable sense of passion from ...

Hailing from the state of Florida, singer-songwriter Tom Petty has come to epitomize a new rootsy style of California rock'n'roll. Rhythmically, the music harkens back to the basic crunch of the Rolling Stones & the dancing pop of the Beatles, while Petty's gravelly vocals & sing-song narrative style suggest roots in the folk-blues Americana of Bob Dylan. Years before R.E.M. returned to the jangly, Rickenbacker-infected timbre of the Byrds, Petty's nasal delivery & bell-like mix of guitars ...

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Tom Petty (vocals, guitar); Mike Campbell (guitar); Benmont Tench (keyboards); Howie Epstein (bass); Stan Lynch (drums). Recorded at Sound City & M.C Studios, Los Angeles, California.LET ME UP was seen as Petty's attempt to step away from the elaborate neo-psychedelic artifice of the ambitious SOUTHERN ACCENTS & get to back to straight-ahead rock & roll, but in fact, it's probably just the record he happened to feel like making at the time. That said, rock ...

It's a commonly held opinion among fans & band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simples ...

Produced by Dave Stewart, Southern Accents is an ambitious album, attempting to incorporate touches of psychedelia, soul, & country into a loose concept about the modern South. Occasionally, the songs work; " Rebels" & " Spike" are fine rockers, & " Don't Come Around Here No More" & " Make It Better (Forget About Me)" expand The Heartbreakers' sound nicely.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Hard Promises

This is where Petty's Dylan influence begins to rear its head. He made his name as an all-American, Byrds-inspired rock & roller, but on HARD PROMISES Petty began to explore a more reflective style, leaning on the softer side of his folk-rock roots. This is no NEBRASKA-there are plenty of spirited rockers and classy pop tunes-but Petty does sound like he's been spending some time with BRINGING IT ALL BACK HOME.
