OFC Review: Mojo brings to mind the blues for many and for others Mojo denotes magical, mystical powers, allure, prowess alongside a variety of other meanings.  Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' new album Mojo delivers on all of these aspects.    No doubt a strong thread of the blues as a genre weaves throughout this stellar album as in ‘Jefferson Jericho Blues’ which hearkens to Muddy Waters in its purity and ‘Running Man’s Bible’ with its soulful syncopation, a Dylan-esque poetic rhyme, vocals and smokin’ keyboards and guitar.  The distinctive thumbprint of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is undeniable throughout their interpretations and tributes to the blues on Mojo the album.

The magical allure and subtle varieties unwind in the magnificent masterpiece ‘First Flash of Freedom’.  Mesmerizing guitar, hypnotic vocals, jazz infused keyboards leading into a slide guitar duo that has an Allman Brothers feel.  Elements of reggae and country can be found on Mojo with 'Don't Pull Me Over' and 'No Reason to Cry' respectively.

‘I Should Have Known It’, one of the most powerful tracks, offers a Led Zeppelin quality in its crank it up, raw, bluesy rock appeal.  OFC recommends to splurge on the deluxe version found on iTunes with in studio videos and a virtual LP with album cover, lyrics (some hand written) and photos.   If you love Tom Petty, this album will floor you and if you are new get ready to join the ranks of endless fans who have been following Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers since the seventies!
