Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Live Cover Versions, 2006-2011

Here's the next in my series of albums of Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers doing live cover versions. This covers the years 2006 to 2011. It's the second to last, because I only have one more album that covers the years until P*tty's death in 2017.

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

This album differs a little bit from the previous ones in this series because in 2008, P*tty revived his early 1970s band Mudcrutch and went on tour with them. So four of the nine songs are with Mudcrutch instead of the Heartbreakers.

Also, there are two songs that are collaborations between Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers and the Allman Brothers Band. They do versions of the Bob Dylan songs "Highway 61 Revisited" and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry." P*tty and Gregg Allman swap lead vocals from verse to verse.

But regardless of who P*tty was singing with, the types of songs he plays are pretty much the same as with previous albums in this series. Once again, it's mostly classic hits from the 1950s and 1960s. A few of the songs are lesser known: "Off the Hook," an obscure Rolling Stones song, " Love, Please Come Home," a country/bluegrass song by Bill Monroe, and "Champagne and Reefer," a Muddy Waters blues song.

The sound quality of the songs vary. Unfortunately, they're not as good as with some previous albums. All but two are officially unreleased, and some of those unreleased ones come from audience bootlegs instead of soundboards. But I still think it's a good listen.

I've included one song as a bonus track, due to the poor sound quality. That's "Gunslinger," a lesser known Bo Diddley song.

This album is 41 minutes long, not including the bonus track.

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

For the album cover, I found a concert poster from 2010. I didn't change much, except I lopped off some other parts of the poster above and below, and I added in the album title at the bottom.
