Reprise

Tom Petty was an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter. He was born on October 20, 1950 in Gainesville, Florida, USA. Tom Petty achieved success both as a member of the band The Heartbreakers and as a solo artist. His music touched the hearts of millions around the world.
Throughout his career, Tom Petty captivated audiences with his soulful voice and skillful guitar playing. He wrote timeless songs that resonated with listeners from all walks of life.
Tragically, Tom Petty passed away on October 2, 2017 in Santa Monica, California, USA. His legacy lives on through his music and the impact he made on the music industry will never be forgotten.

MOJO showcases a wide variety of American music from rock 'n' roll to country and both electric and acoustic blues. And then there are the images in Petty's lyrics which slip in on the melodies and set up a home in your head: The barefoot girl in the high grass chewing on a stick of sugar cane, the run-in with the law that begins when a carload of buddies decide to party with the motel maids, and the hilariously audacious idea of opening an album with an electric blues rocker about Thomas Jefferson's love affair with Sally Hemings. Petty would probably chuck a rock at anyone who called him a poet, but he sure is a southern writer of humor and sensitivity. 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.
