Petty, Tom And The Heartbreakers - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

 NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2025

180 GRAM VINYL.

At the time Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' debut was released in 1976, they were fresh enough to almost be considered punk. They weren't 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 that's 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 that's alright, since the slight songs ("Anything That's Rock 'N' Roll," to pick a random example) are still infused with spirit and an appealing surface.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petty
