She was hell on her mama, impossible to please
She wore out her daddy got the best of me
And there's something about her
That only I can see,
And that's good enough

You're barefoot in the grass, and you're chewin' sugarcane.
You got a little buzz on; you're kissing in the rain.
And if a day like this don't ever come again
That's good enough.

Good enough for me
Good enough for right now, yeah
[Repeat]

God bless this land, God bless this whiskey
I can't trust love
It's far too risky.
If she marries into money
She's still gonna miss me
If you can read it, it's not the original one
And that's good enough
Gonna have to be good enough

Good enough for me
Good enough for right now, yeah
[Repeat]

Yep, fantastic! Best live shows I've ever seen were Tom and or the Heartbreakers. So amazing live! Longest soundchecks...the man cared about how it sounded live then and there. And it sounded good. Really good.

OK. Missed it evidently. Love it. Not the first time RP has brought this and similar to my attention.

Namaste Tom.

Really good! How about some Gary Moore, for some heart-on-the-sleeve guitar?

Great segue from Roy Buchanan, Mike's soulful playing trace a direct line back to Roy's.

i am sure it's no coincidence that Roy Buchanan was prior to this number

similar guitar tone / playing!

Wow B&R!
You ground a fine point on that pencil.
Roy Buchanan followed by this somewhat rare gem from the Mr. Petty.
OK. I get it now...
I am in awe of your associative powers.
Very well done.

Coming along in a set including Pink Floyd's jamming "Pigs (Three Different Ones)," this makes a KILLER BLUESY GUITAR statement

The Mojo album is loaded with great blues and soul laden songs.  It reminds me of a DVD set I boutght that I couldn't find available on CD or for sale as MP3s.  ...If you like Mojo, check out their Sound Stage DVDs, a great mix of covers, hits and unreleased songs – includes some extended solos as well!  Amazon.com: Soundstage Presents: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - think I'll go watch it again now!  {#Arrow}

This Band gets better with age ! One of my favourite albums of 2010. What a shame Bands like The Rolling Stones cant reproduce the classic albums thet they released in the late 60's to mid 70's.

You're comparing this album to Roy Buchanan?  Wow.  I'm a big fan of both, but this album was a little bit of a let down for me and I don't really see the comparison.  Mojo kinda bored me though I don't know why.  Roy and Tom (& Co.) are certainly two artists though!

IMHO, one of the very best and vastly underappreciated. He's spent a career punctuating Petty's songs with precision and taste, and now he gets a chance to cut loose on of all things a blues album. I don't get it, but I love it.

Posted 14 years ago by BigIslandBlues    [ Reply ]
Yet another song from the Mojo album that I love. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers started out wondering if they had what it would take to "make it" in the music world. "Mojo" proves that they had it, and still do have it. This has got to be their best work so far.  Methinks Mr. Petty has found the elixer of life and has shared it with his bandmates. No matter - they've always had the edge. From "Listen To Her Heart" to "Rebel," Petty just nails the music.

Dang - I think I'm in love. *girlish giggle*

Yeah, it's traditional minor-scale blues, like "I Put A Spell On You" and many others.  Petty has always worked in the "roots" sound anyhow; no one ever expected him to do experimental stuff.  Quite a good tune - great guitar work.

 
I too hear the "I Put A Spell On You" inference and I agree with your conclusion.  Worthy effort.  I like it.

Mike Campbell can do no wrong.  In 30 years with Petty he has just taken us higher and higher. He's truly a vastly underrated axe man. He and Petty have their MOJO cookin'. {#Cheers}
Thanks Heartbreakers, you just sold another copy of your new album (prolly clean the shelves off with  this one .)
