Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Live Cover Versions, 2012-2016

I've posted 11 albums of Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers playing live cover versions. This is the 12th, and the last. I wish this series could keep going on, but P*tty died all too soon in 2017.

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

Typically, P*tty and the Heartbreakers played classic hits from the 1950s and 1960s. That still was the case for some of the songs here. But this time around, he played more country songs, including some obscure songs, such as "June Apple." He also returned to some of his favorite artists, like the Byrds ("Lover of the Bayou"), Bob Dylan ("Knockin' on Heaven's Door"), and J. J. Cale ("Traveling Light").

Five of the nine songs here are actually done with his first band Mudcrutch, which he revived again for a tour in 2016.

One odd case is the song "Tweeter and the Monkey Man." The song was done by the Traveling Wilburys in 1988, when P*tty was a member of that band. But it's believed the song was written almost entirely by Bob Dylan, as a sort of parody or homage to Bruce Springsteen songs, so I consider this a cover and not P*tty doing a song of his own.

The first song ("Traveling Light") sounds a bit rough, since it comes from an audience bootleg. But most of the rest are officially released, and sound great.

By chance, this series of albums fittingly ends with Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Rest in peace, Tom.

The album is 47 minutes long.

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 used part of a Mudcrutch concert poster. But I wanted the text to be "Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers" instead of "Mudcrutch," so I took a banner with the band's name on in from another concert poster and placed that over the Mudcrutch name.
