  • Summary: The veteran rock-and-rollers return with their first studio album in nearly a decade. With Petty's trademark drawl and snarling blues-driven guitar, Mojo delivers a return to their roots as they continue to push the boundaries of classic rock and roll.

    It's not news that these guys rock, but on their first new album in eight years the Heartbreakers have their Mojo working like they never have before-which is a fine thing indeed.

    The album may be the loosest of his career, an unfussy, shuffle-mode assortment of blues-infused jams and steel guitar-haunted ballads that abandon the structural perfection that shaped his canon.

    Mojo sees Petty steep himself in Americana again, adopt a live-in-the-studio feel, and generally rock out. The results are initially quite perky, as the band crash and charge through songs, but after a couple of plays everything becomes rather dull.

    Tom Petty! Excellent as usual. I don't think the first track should lead the album, I think a different song would have been a better choice, but the rest of the cd is incredible. So give it a listen and I think you will be very pleased. Running Man's Bible, The Trip To Pirate's Cove, and No Reason To Cry stand out to me as the cream of the crop of the album, but all of the songs will leave you fullfilled. So go buy it!… Expand

    Possibly the most honest blues album i've heard in a very long time. The honesty that presents itself in every track is incredible.
