Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Mystery of Love - Non-Album Tracks (2010-2016)

This is the last of eight stray tracks albums I've made for Tom P., when he played either with Mudcrutch or the Heartbreakers. This deals with the last few years of his life. Tom P., rest in peace.

(Note that I'm not using the full name of this artist due to concerns about copyright issues.)

Some of the songs come from the "An American Treasure" box set, and one is a bonus track. Three more are P.'s contributions to a tribute album to J. J. Cale put together by Eric Clapton.

Three more songs actually don't have P. involved at all, but are solo works from key Heartbreakers Mike Campbell or Benmont Tench. So far, Campbell has released very little solo material, and his song here, "Feelin' High," is from a very obscure single. But I think it's a worthy song, and he also happens to sing a lot like P. Tench put out a solo album in 2014, and I've only included what I considered the two best songs.

There's another three songs on this album which are frustratingly obscure: "Mystery of Love," "Lookin' for Daddy," and "How Much Do You Need." They haven't been released on any physical format at all, but were played on P.'s radio show in the year before his death. They're good songs, and hopefully this album will help give them more exposure.

Although this is the last of the P. stray tracks albums, I have a lot more of his material to post. P. liked to perform cover songs in concert. I've created an even longer series of albums just containing all of those live covers. That'll be coming soon.

This album is 53 minutes long. 

I'm not including the track list due to copyright issues. But you can find it in the mp3 download file.

I'm not sure when the photo I used for the cover art was taken, but it looks to be from the last years of P.'s life. I think having him bow out is a fitting cover for an album of music near the end of his life.

    1. SoulseekQT is a big network. Not everyone is shown there all the time. So you might have to try a couple of times before you are successful.
