CD Review: Tom Petty: Highway Companion

We should all be thankful that Petty’s music continues to rise above the noise of a marketplace filled with TV show contest winners masquerading as recording artists. American music needs Tom Petty. And he has just turned in a masterpiece that begs for (and deserves) a place in your music collection.

I am listening to "Playback" right now as I type. 4 discs of fully remastered, HDCD, Tom Petty goodness. Next up, Led Zeppelin (and cold, cold beer).

I'm listening to "Savin Grace" right now. I have my crossfade set higher, so it's a continuous loop. I'm moving around couches and setting up my Theater for 6 seating positions.

Good song. I'd LOVE to listen to this song, cruisin' in some classic North American Muscle. Rar!

Just received Petty's newest last night....gave it a listen while working on a project in the same room. If you are a Petty fan then you can't go wrong with this one!! A good mix of music on this disc...had me tapping my foot through most of it...looking forward to getting my music room back together soon to give this a good listen(ie; feet propped uo and beverage in hand!)
