Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers | ||
| Allmusic Biography : Beginning in 1976, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers were one of Americas finest rock & roll bands ever, combining the ringing guitars of the Byrds with the gritty rhythmic drive of the Rolling Stones. Pettys 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 1979s Damn the Torpedos was their commercial breakthrough, selling over two million copies; it couldnt have come at a better time, since Petty filed for bankruptcy before its release. During the 80s, Petty sold consistently well, as he expanded his sound with the release of each album. In 1989, he released his first solo album, Full Moon Fever, which became his biggest hit yet. That momentum carried over into the next Heartbreakers release, 1991s Into the Great Wide Open, which went platinum. As they were preparing their next album, the group released a greatest-hits album in 1993 that contained the hit single "Mary Janes Last Dance." Greatest Hits was the last album the group released on MCA Records. In 1994, Petty began a new contract with Warner Bros, releasing Wildflowers toward the end of that year; Wildflowers became another multi-platinum success for him. In 1995, MCA Records released a five-disc box set called Playback. In the summer of 1996, Petty & the Heartbreakers released Songs and Music from Shes the One. The Rick Rubin production Echo followed three years later. The year 2002 saw the release of The Last DJ, a scathing attack on the corporate greed inherent in the music business. It was followed in 2006 by a Petty solo album, Highway Companion. Another Heartbreakers album, Mojo, appeared on Reprise Records in 2010. Returning to their rehearsal space, The Clubhouse, in 2011, Petty & the Heartbreakers spent time demoing and recording what would become their 13th studio album. The harder, rockier Hypnotic Eye was released in July 2014, and became the first number one album in their career. On October 2, 2017, Petty was found at his home in cardiac arrest, and he died at a hospital in Santa Monica later that day. Nearly a year later, his family and band released the box set An American Treasure as a tribute to the departed rocker. A double-disc hits collection, The Best of Everything, followed in March 2019. | ||

| Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers : Allmusic album Review : At the time Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers debut was released in 1976, they were fresh enough to almost be considered punk. They werent as reckless or visionary as the Ramones, but they shared a similar love for pure 60s rock and, for the Heartbreakers, that meant embracing the Byrds as much as the Stones. And thats pretty much what this album is -- tuneful jangle balanced by a tough garage swagger. At times, the attitude and the sound override the songwriting, but thats alright, since the slight songs ("Anything Thats Rock N Roll," to pick a random example) are still infused with spirit and an appealing surface. Petty & the Heartbreakers feel underground on this album, at least to the extent that power pop was underground in 1976; with Dwight Twilley providing backing vocals for "Strangered in the Night," the similarities between the two bands (adherence to pop hooks and melodies, love of guitars) become apparent. Petty wound up eclipsing Twilley because he rocked harder, something thats evident throughout this record. Take the closer "American Girl" -- its a Byrds song by any other name, but he pushed the Heartbreakers to treat it as a rock & roll song, not as something delicate. There are times where the album starts to drift, especially on the second side, but the highlights -- "Rockin Around (With You)," "Hometown Blues," "The Wild One, Forever," the AOR staples "Breakdown" and "American Girl" -- still illustrate how refreshing Petty & the Heartbreakers sounded in 1976. | ||

| You’re Gonna Get It! : Allmusic album Review : Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers didnt really knock out their second album -- it was released two years after their debut -- but it sure sounds as if they did. There are some wonderful moments on this record, but it often feels like leftovers from a strong debut, or an album written on the road, especially since the music is simply an extension of the first album. That said, when Youre Gonna Get It! works, it devastates. Thats not saying that "When the Time Comes" is a masterpiece, even if its a fine opener, but it does mean that "I Need to Know" and the scathing "Listen to Her Heart" are testaments to how good this band could be when it was focused. If the rest of the album doesnt achieve this level of perfection, thats a signal that they were still finding their footing, but overall its still a solid record, filled with good performances that are never quite as good as the songs. Its pretty good as it spins, but once it finishes, you remember those two songs at the heart of the record, maybe the opener and closer, which are stronger than the rest of the competent, enjoyable, yet unremarkable roots-rockers that surround them. Not necessarily a transitional effort -- after all, it pretty much mirrors its predecessor -- but a holding pattern that may not suggest the peaks of whats to come, but still delivers a good soundalike of the debut. | ||

| Damn the Torpedoes : Allmusic album Review : Not long after Youre Gonna Get It, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers label, Shelter, was sold to MCA Records. Petty struggled to free himself from the major label, eventually sending himself into bankruptcy. He settled with MCA and set to work on his third album, digging out some old Mudcrutch numbers and quickly writing new songs. Amazingly, through all the frustration and anguish, Petty & the Heartbreakers delivered their breakthrough and arguably their masterpiece with Damn the Torpedoes. Musically, it follows through on the promise of their first two albums, offering a tough, streamlined fusion of the Stones and Byrds that, thanks to Jimmy Iovines clean production, sounded utterly modern yet timeless. It helped that the Heartbreakers had turned into a tighter, muscular outfit, reminiscent of, well, the Stones in their prime -- all of the parts combine into a powerful, distinctive sound capable of all sorts of subtle variations. Their musical suppleness helps bring out the soul in Pettys impressive set of songs. He had written a few classics before -- "American Girl," "Listen to Her Heart" -- but here his songwriting truly blossoms. Most of the songs have a deep melancholy undercurrent -- the tough "Here Comes My Girl" and "Even the Losers" have tender hearts; the infectious "Dont Do Me Like That" masks a painful relationship; "Refugee" is a scornful, blistering rocker; "Louisiana Rain" is a tear-jerking ballad. Yet there are purpose and passion behind the performances that makes Damn the Torpedoes an invigorating listen all the same. Few mainstream rock albums of the late 70s and early 80s were quite as strong as this, and it still stands as one of the great records of the album rock era. | ||
 | Album: 4 of 27 Title: Hard Promises Released: 1981-05 Tracks: 10 Duration: 40:07 Scroll: Up Down Top Bottom 25% 50% 75% Spotify TrackSamples Allmusic AlbumCover | 1 The Waiting (03:58) 2 A Woman in Love (It’s Not Me) (04:22) 3 Nightwatchman (04:00) 4 Something Big (04:43) 5 Kings Road (03:23) 6 Letting You Go (03:25) 7 A Thing About You (03:32) 8 Insider (04:24) 9 The Criminal Kind (04:00) 10 You Can Still Change Your Mind (04:17) |
| Hard Promises : Allmusic album Review : Damn the Torpedoes wasnt simply a culmination of Tom Pettys art; it happened to be a huge success, enabling him to call the shots on its successor, Hard Promises. Infamously, he used his first album as a star to challenge the record industrys practice of charging more for A-list artists, demanding that Hard Promises should be listed for less than most records by an artist of his stature, but if that was the only thing notable about the album, it would have disappeared like Long After Dark. Instead, it offered a reaffirmation that Damn the Torpedoes wasnt a fluke. Theres not much new on the surface, since it continues the sound of its predecessor, but its filled with great songwriting, something thats as difficult to achieve as a distinctive sound. The opener, "The Waiting," became the best-known song on the record, but theres no discounting "A Woman in Love (Its Not Me)," "Nightwatchman," "Kings Road," "Insider," and "The Criminal Kind," album tracks that would become fan favorites. If Hard Promises doesnt have the sweep of Damn the Torpedoes, thats because its predecessor was blessed with good timing and an unusually strong set of songs. Hard Promises isnt quite so epochal, yet it has a tremendous set of songs and a unified sound that makes it one of Pettys finest records. | ||

| Long After Dark : Allmusic album Review : Riding high on the back-to-back Top Five, platinum hits Damn the Torpedoes and Hard Promises, Tom Petty quickly returned to the studio to record the Heartbreakers fifth album, Long After Dark. Truth be told, there was about as long a gap between Dark and Promises as there was between Promises and Torpedoes, but there was a difference this time around -- Petty & the Heartbreakers sounded tired. Even if there are a few new wave flourishes here and there, the band hasnt really changed its style at all -- its still Stonesy, Byrds-ian heartland rock. As their first four albums illustrated, that isnt a problem in itself, since theyve found numerous variations within their signature sound, providing they have the right songs. Unfortunately, Petty had a dry spell on Long After Dark. With its swirling, minor key guitars, "You Got Lucky" is a classic and "Change of Heart" comes close to matching those peaks, but the remaining songs rarely rise above agreeable filler. Since the Heartbreakers are a very good band, it means the record sounds pretty good as its playing, but apart from those few highlights, nothing much is memorable once the album has finished. And coming on the heels of two excellent records, thats quite a disappointment. | ||

| Southern Accents : Allmusic album Review : Produced by Dave Stewart, Southern Accents is an ambitious album, attempting to incorporate touches of psychedelia, soul, and country into a loose concept about the modern South. Occasionally, the songs work; "Rebels" and "Spike" are fine rockers, and "Dont Come Around Here No More" and "Make It Better (Forget About Me)" expand the Heartbreakers sound nicely. But too often, the record is weighed down by its own ambitions. | ||

| Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough) : Allmusic album Review : Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers spent much of 1986 on the road as Bob Dylans backing band. Dylans presence proved to be a huge influence on the Heartbreakers, turning them away from the well-intentioned but slick pretensions of Southern Accents and toward a loose, charmingly ramshackle roots rock that harked back to their roots yet exhibited the professional eclecticism they developed during the mid-80s. All of this was on full display on Let Me Up (Ive Had Enough), their simplest and best album since Hard Promises. Not to say that Let Me Up is a perfect album -- far from it, actually. Filled with loose ends, song fragments, and unvarnished productions, its a defiantly messy album, and its all the better for it, especially arriving on the heels of the well-groomed Accents. Apart from the (slightly dated) rant "Jammin Me" (co-written by Dylan, but you cant tell), there arent any standouts on the record, but theres no filler either -- its just simply a good collection of ballads ("Runaway Trains"), country-rockers ("The Damage Youve Done"), pop/rock ("All Mixed Up," "Think About Me"), and hard rockers ("Let Me Up [Ive Had Enough]"). While that might not be enough to qualify Let Me Up as one of Petty & the Heartbreakers masterpieces, it is enough to qualify it as the most underrated record in their catalog. | ||

| Into the Great Wide Open : Allmusic album Review : Since Full Moon Fever was an unqualified commercial and critical success, perhaps it made sense that Tom Petty chose to follow its shiny formula when he reunited with the Heartbreakers for its follow-up, Into the Great Wide Open. Nevertheless, the familiarity of Into the Great Wide Open is something of a disappointment. The Heartbreakers sound has remained similar throughout their career, but they had never quite repeated themselves until here. Technically, it isnt a repeat, since they werent credited on Full Moon, but Wide Open sounds exactly like Full Moon, thanks to Jeff Lynnes overly stylized production. Again, it sounds like a cross between latter-day ELO and roots rock (much like the Traveling Wilburys, in that sense), but the production has become a touch too careful and precise, bordering on the sterile at times. And, unfortunately, the quality of the songwriting doesnt match Full Moon or Let Me Up (Ive Had Enough). Thats not to say that it rivals the uninspired Long After Dark, since Petty was a better craftsman in 1991 than he was in 1983. There are a number of minor gems -- "Learning to Fly," "Kings Highway," "Into the Great Wide Open" -- but there are no knockouts, either; its like Full Moon Fever if there were only "Apartment Song"s and no "Free Fallin"s. In other words, enough for a pleasant listen, but not enough to resonate like his best work. (And considering this, perhaps it wasnt surprising that Petty chose to change producers and styles on his next effort, the solo Wildflowers.) | ||

| Greatest Hits : Allmusic album Review : Greatest Hits is a lean yet complete overview of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers biggest singles from their first prime. Sure, its possible to pinpoint a few great songs missing, but the group had a lot of great songs during the late 70s and 80s. This rounds up the biggest hits from that era, and in doing so, it turns into a succinct summary of the band at the top of its game. Everything from "American Girl" to "Free Fallin" is included, with 18 tracks proving that Petty was one of the best rockers of his time. | ||

| Echo : Allmusic album Review : Although the stripped-down, immediate production of Shes the One was reminiscent of Wildflowers, Tom Pettys forays into Lindsey Buckingham-inspired pop turned out to be a passing thing, since Echo, his first full-fledged record with the Heartbreakers since 1991s Into the Great Wide Open, is an extension of Wildflowers, at least in terms of sound and feel. The weird thing is, Echo sounds like a sinewy band recording, but its sentiment makes it feel like a solo record. To be blunt, much of Echo feels like a by-product of Pettys divorce from his wife of over 20 years; even the intoxicating hard rock of "Free Girl Now" has a layer of sorrow and regret. That weary melancholy is the bond that keeps Echo together, bridging the gap between the ballads and the rockers, providing an emotional touchstone that makes the record more than just another Petty record. Then again, the music on Echo manages to sound like every other Petty album, yet it stays fresh. Petty, Mike Campbell, and Rick Rubin (along with some help from George Drakoulias) keep the spirit of Wildflowers alive by keeping the production uncluttered, direct, and muscular -- which just reveals what a strong, versatile band the Heartbreakers are. And while there are no surprises, Petty once again delivers an album that works as a whole while having several clear highlights -- which is a pretty neat trick, actually. At times, the disc feels a little long, but all the pieces work individually and illustrate that Petty is the rare rocker who knows how to mature gracefully. Although the album is spiked with sadness and regret, nothing on the album feels forced or self-conscious, either lyrically or musically -- and he is one of the few rockers of his generation that can make such a claim. | ||

| Anthology: Through the Years : Allmusic album Review : For the fan that wants more than the superb single-disc Greatest Hits yet doesnt want to delve into actual albums or the exhaustive, rarities-heavy box set Playback, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers and MCA Records offered the double-disc Anthology: Through the Years in the fall of 2000. This set basically offers all the singles and album rock radio favorites, with a couple of odd selections here and there and one new song, "Surrender." There are a few omissions -- "Make It Better (Forget About Me)" isnt here, for instance -- but not enough to really be noticeable, especially since this consolidates the bulk of Pettys great songs and plays very, very well. Greatest Hits might have a slight edge to Anthology because of its conciseness, but this double-disc set illustrates that Pettys catalog was deeper than just the hits. | ||

| The Last DJ : Allmusic album Review : Tom Petty has always battled corporations and the music industry -- fighting for lower retail prices for Hard Promises, complaining about videos, and always fighting for old-school, artist-first 60s rock aesthetics. Theres a lot to admire about this stance, especially since hes essentially right about corporations having too much of a stranglehold on pop music, but it doesnt provide a solid foundation for an album, as the stultifying The Last DJ illustrates. Not every song on the record is about the death of rock & roll and the evils that corporations do, but it sure feels that way, since it begins with the one-two punch of "The Last DJ" and "Money Becomes King." The former is a bitter lament for the loss of free thought in pop culture, using the DJ as a truth-telling seer; the latter is a rewrite of "Into the Great Wide Open," all about a favorite artist who sells out. Both are didactic with their tortured metaphors and stretched narratives, but they seem subtle compared to the fourth song, "Joe," a heavy-handed tirade about a record company CEO that is unbearable in its awful, vulgar lyrics and is rendered unlistenable by Pettys hammy vocals; it is easily the worst song hes ever written. These front-loaded tracks obscure the lovely "Dreamville," the best song here, and effectively offer an early deathblow to an album that alternately finds Petty muddling through ballads and stumbling through rockers. Though his songcraft serves him well on occasion, its only on occasion -- the aforementioned "Dreamville," "You and Me," "Have Love Will Travel" -- and the records spare, black-and-white production doesnt add color to compositions that need it. Throughout The Last DJ, Petty sounds utterly lost -- and instead of liberating him like it did in the past, it paralyzes him, boxing him into a corner where he cant draw on his strengths. Its the first true flop in a career that, until now, had none. | ||

| The Live Anthology : Allmusic album Review : Its a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers lone live album, 1986s Pack Up the Plantation, didnt quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009s Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteens Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherry picking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc box set running 48 tracks, which is eight cuts longer than Springsteens box, plenty long enough for most fans, but in its deluxe version, theres an additional CD, plus two previously unreleased DVDs -- a 1978 New Years Eve concert from Santa Monica, a documentary called 400 Days shot during the Wildflowers tour -- a Blu-Ray edition of all 62 tracks on the five-CD version, a vinyl copy of the 1976 Official Live Leg LP, plus a book and lithograph, along with other assorted bonuses. Certainly, the deluxe edition lives up to its billing, offering enough extras to justify its price tag, but the standard edition is plenty generous as it is, serving up enough consistently strong music from throughout the decades, ranging from expert covers of Willie Dixon and the Grateful Dead to deep treasures from the Heartbreakers catalog. Apart from the tendency to favor performances that stretch on a little too long with jamming -- something that is a matter of taste, as some prefer energy to improvisations -- if theres any flaw to the set, its how it goes out of its way to prove the bands consistency by skipping through the decades, letting a version of "Louisiana Rain" from 1982 sit next to a 1997 cover of "Green Onions" and "Melinda" from 2003. This certainly goes a long way to illustrating that Petty & the Heartbreakers always delivered the goods, but its somewhat at the expense of forward momentum; its hard not to wish that it was arranged chronologically, to be able to hear the raw energy give way to easy skill, but thats just nit picking -- any way you look at it, this Live Anthology offers an overdose of prime rock & roll. | ||

| Mojo : Allmusic album Review : Tom Petty has been fronting the Heartbreakers off and on (mostly on) for over 30 years now, and he and his band have been delivering a high level of no-frills, classy, and reconstituted American garage rock through all of it. Petty often gets lumped in with artists like Bruce Springsteen, whose careful and worked-over lyrics carry a kind of instant nostalgia, but Pettys songwriting at its best cleverly bounces off of romance clichés, often with a desperate, lustful drawl and sneer, and he’s usually been more concerned with the here and now than he is about musing about what’s been abused and lost in contemporary America, although hes certainly not blind to it. Petty has always been more immediate than that -- until now, that is. Mojo is Pettys umpteenth album, and technically the first he’s done with the Heartbreakers since 2002’s sly The Last DJ. This time out he’s tackling the blues, trying to graft the Heartbreakers (Mike Campbell on guitar, Scott Thurston on guitar and harmonica, Benmont Tench on keyboards, Ron Blair on bass, and Steve Ferrone on drums) patented 1960s garage sound to the Chicago blues sound of Chess Records in the 1950s. Sonically it certainly works, mostly because this is a wonderful band, but then it all seems a little tired, worn, and exhausted, too, and not a single song here has that certain desperate, determined defiance that Petty has always delivered in the past with a knowing sneer and a little leering wink. The opener, “Jefferson Jericho Blues,” is a case in point. It starts by being a song about Thomas Jefferson’s dalliance with one of his black maids, and it could have been a scathing indictment of an out-of-date Southern attitude, contemporary racism, and so much more. Instead, it tumbles unfocused into, well, a song about missing a girl and how time moves slow, and one can’t help but wonder why Petty dragged Thomas Jefferson and his maid into any of it in the first place. Petty has never sounded so emotionally drained and detached as a vocalist as he does on this album, and while it’s nice to hear the Heartbreakers flirt with the blues -- and to hear Campbells clear, precise slide guitar playing -- there’s no excuse for not having solid songs to scaffold it. There’s a worn-out, regretful, and boringly meditative tone to so many tracks here -- this is not what one expects from a band that rocks as fine as this one can. Again, the playing is solid, but one wishes Petty & the Heartbreakers had simply covered some of those old Chess classics rather than trying half-heartedly to write their own -- it would have made for an album closer to intent. | ||

| Hypnotic Eye : Allmusic album Review : Looking back, its clear the 2008 Mudcrutch reunion was pivotal for Tom Petty, helping him re-focus and re-dedicate himself to playing in a band. Like the original band, Mudcrutch Mach II didnt last long -- long enough to play a few shows and record a warm, gangly beast of an album -- but it reinvigorated Petty. Afterward, he reveled in the sound of how the Heartbreakers played, digging deep into his catalog to shake up his set lists, letting the group exercise some blues muscles on 2010s Mojo, a record that stood as the Heartbreakers rowdiest record since the 70s but which is easily overshadowed by the trashy psychedelic pulse of 2014s Hypnotic Eye. Teeming with fuzz, overdriven organ, and hard four-four rhythms, all interrupted by the occasional blues workout or jazz shuffle, Hypnotic Eye comes across as a knowing splice of Pettys own XM radio show Buried Treasures and Little Steven Van Zandts Sirius channel Underground Garage, a record that celebrates all the disreputable 45s created in garages so they could be played in garages. Occasionally, the band evoke memories of their own past -- "Shadow People" has guitar tones straight out of Shelter Records -- but theyre largely dedicated to the sounds that provided them with their original inspirations. What prevents Hypnotic Eye from sliding into the arena of soft, desperate nostalgia is a combination of muscle and savvy, a combination that gives the album a strong infrastructure -- Petty strips his songs to the bone; theyre so lean they feel as if they clock in at two minutes, even if they run twice that long -- and a sonic wallop. Much of that visceral thrill is due to co-producers Petty, guitarist Mike Campbell, and Ryan Ulyate accentuating the intuitive interplay in the Heartbreakers with sharp, striking slashes of color; this gives the record immediacy and complexity, which means there is enough aural activity that repeated plays do not dull the LPs initial bracing impact. Ultimately, Hypnotic Eye is a record about the pure joy of sound, a rush that doesnt lessen upon repetition -- a sentiment thats true of those old 60s garage rock singles and early Heartbreakers albums, and this is a surprisingly, satisfyingly vigorous record. | ||
