A little while back I got my first opportunity to hear some of the tracks luxury travel by private car tours on Tom Petty and The Heartbreaker's new release Mojo. Yes, I was familiar with all the hits, but Mojo , the group's first studio release in 8 years, really caught my attention. Right from the opening track "Jefferson Jericho Blues," a bluesy rock shuffle, and the Allman-esque First Flash of Freedom I was immediately intrigued. I even updated luxury travel by private car tours my facebook account saying so. The last time I was this taken by a Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers album I was a teenager listening to the tune Breakdown. How the years have a way of passing by
Born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, Petty attended Gainesville High School. He became enamored with rock n roll at the age of ten after being invited by his uncle to the set of the movie Follow luxury travel by private car tours That Dream where the young Petty met Elvis Presley. Like so many musical souls in the sixties, Petty knew his destiny the moment he saw The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Mudcrutch went their separate ways for a while, but eventually Petty, Tench and Campbell hooked up with Ron Blair and Stan Lynch resulting in the first Heartbreakers line-up. Their debut album Tom Petty the Heartbreakers and the strength of the song Breakdown eventually made the top 40.

In my recording studio luxury travel by private car tours days, (many moons ago) one of my personal peeves was how long it took some artists to get a particular snare sound or guitar tone. Sometimes it would be months before they would get it right. I used to marvel at the players who'd walk in and complete an album in a handful of sessions. Often those were blues or jazz influenced sessions. There's just something about that pure raw sound that always suited my personal taste.
