Howdy Rog,
Pat said it all from our perspective. We are HUGE Petty fans and, man, this one is in that wheelhouse. We're not implying imitation at all....just the Petty Vibe, if you will.
The productions sounds nailed on our monitors. Everything sits where, IMO, it needs to me. Just a great listen from all angles -- production, arrangement, instrumentation, RT use, vocals and lyric. BTW, some folks' results may vary but we really liked the banjo.
Kudos!!
J&B
Hi Jan & Bud and many thanks for the review. Sorry if it's taking me a while to get round to all the replies.
Tom Petty, yes. Been a great fan for over 30 years, but never intentionally imitated his voice, though some of his style might have rubbed off. That voice is just the one I'm stuck with!
Really glad you liked the banjo. I put it in as much for it's percussive effect as anything - it helped to drive the track along, though as you say it might not have been everyone's choice for this style of music.
Regards, ROG.
