Mojo
I was getting bored with Tom Petty's music, but when I heard all the hype about his new album, Mojo, I decided to buy it.
Wow! If I had to pick one word to describe the bluesy rock and original songs on this album, it would be “fresh.”
The opening song, “Jefferson Jericho Blues,” hits with a repeated, driving beat behind lyrics about Thomas Jefferson's affair with one of his slaves, Sally Hemmings: “Midnight creeping out to the servant's shack, kept the secret under the bed, wrapped in a burlap sack.” A history lesson you can dance to.
The sound quality and production values on the record are impeccable. It lives up to Petty's pre-release statement that he wanted to “show other people what I hear with the band.”
The standout tracks include blues-rockers “Running Man's Bible,” “Candy,” and “High in the Morning”; slow dancers “The Trip to Pirate's Cove” and “No Reason to Cry”; and a reggae-beat tune featuring Springsteen-like blue-collar lyrics, “Don't Pull Me Over.”
Though the band, as always, is solid, Mojo is a breakout for longtime guitarist Mike Campbell, whose leads soar throughout the collection.
Petty sings on lead single “Takin My Time,” “I'm slowing down a little bit.” No way, Tom, with this album you sound as if you're starting over.
