DAILY BEAST
Tom Petty Talks Getting His ‘Mojo’ Back in Lost Interview
Mojo, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ first album together since 2002’s The Last DJ, was a corker, and helped remind anyone who’d forgotten that they were, quite simply, the best rock ‘n’ roll band in America. A creative left turn in 2010, Mojo is the band’s most blues-influenced record, featuring a hard-hitting collection of guitar-driven rock songs.
At 65 minutes, Mojo is a good old-fashioned rock ‘n’ roll double album that begged to be played live.While what first strikes you about Mojo is how great it sounds—it really seems as though you’re sitting in the middle of the band while it plays just for you—in the intervening years, it has become a full-fledged classic Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers record.
