Tom Petty Heartbreakers Mojo

UK two CD Tour Edition includes a bonus CD containing 12 brilliant live tracks, taken mainly from the 2010 Mojo US tour. 2010 album from the veteran rockers, their first album in eight years. The first thing that hits you about Mojo is that this is the sound of a band playing together in a room - not a studio - facing each other, all singing and playing at the same time. The music is alive, with no overdubs or studio trickery. What you hear is what they created on the spot at that time. Tom Petty says, "With this album, I want to show other people what I hear with the band. Mojo is where the band lives when it's playing for itself." As for the songs, Mojo showcases a wide variety of American music from Rock 'n' Roll to Country and both electric and acoustic Blues. Mojo has juice and guts but it also has some sweet balladry for the slow dancers and even a wacked-out Reggae number that is unlike anything that Heartbreakers have done before. It's the kind of album nobody's supposed to be able to make anymore. It got here just in time.

"Mojo" is the 12th studio album by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The album debuted at No.2 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 125,000 copies in its first week of release. The album is also the band's first full album with bassist Ron Blair since 1981's "Hard Promises", as he played on only two tracks on the previous Heartbreakers album, "The Last DJ".

"Mojo" is the 12th studio album by American rock band Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The album debuted at No.2 on the U.S. Billboard 200, selling 125,000 copies in its first week of release. The album is also the band's first full album with bassist Ron Blair since 1981's "Hard Promises", as he played on only two tracks on the previous Heartbreakers album, "The Last DJ".

What makes 'Mojo' special is that it was recorded live in the band's legendary rehearsal space, 'The Clubhouse' in Los Angeles. There are no over-dubs or studio trickery.

Since 1976, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have been one of America's finest rock & roll bands ever, combining the ringing guitars of the Byrds with the gritty rhythmic drive of the Rolling Stones. Petty's tales of American losers and dreamers were simple and direct, but emotionally charged. The Heartbreakers were a lean, tight band that could handle hard rock & roll and melodic pop equally well. The group gained critical attention and solid sales with their first album, but 1979's Damn the Torpedos was their commercial breakthrough, selling over two million copies; it couldn't have come at a better time, since Petty filed for bankruptcy before its release.

Digitally remastered and expanded Deluxe edition of this classic 1979 album including nine bonus tracks, seven of which are previously unreleased. "Damn The Torpedoes" catapulted Petty and company into the first rank of American Rock acts. It's not hard to understand why. With a slate of driving songs destined to become FM staples ("Refugee", "Here Comes My Girl", "Even the Losers", "Don't Do Me Like That"), it's an album that plays much like half a greatest-hits collection. Fusing a rootsy sensibility heavy with Dylan and Byrds affectations with his own pop instincts and coupling them with one of rock's most consistently underrated powerhouses, The Heartbreakers, Petty's throwback traditionalism oddly found him riding the crest of the new wave in the late '70s.
