Tom P*tty & the Heartbreakers - Live Cover Versions, 2002-2003

Here's yet another album of live cover versions by Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers. I believe this is the ninth such album in the series.

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

All but five of the 13 songs here were officially released, which is a lot more than usual for this album series. That means the sound quality is usually excellent. However, there are a couple of the unreleased tracks, especially "Commit a Crime" that sound somewhat rougher.

As is typical for this series, the vast majority of the songs are classic hits from the 1950s and 1960s. But P*tty seems to have been in more of a bluesy mood than usual. He played a number of usually lesser known blues songs, such as "Commit a Crime," "Down Home Girl," "Born in Chicago," and "Done Somebody Wrong." As an aside, some of the original songs he wrote around this time also had a bluesy sound to them.

I think the most recent song is "I'd Like to Love You Baby," by J. J. Cale, from 1972 (which, by the way, is also a blues song).

As usual, if you like Tom P*tty and good rock and roll music, you should like this.

This album is 50 minutes long.

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

I've gotten in a habit of using concert posters for the album covers in this series, so I'm going to continue with that. Luckily, P*tty had a lot of colorful and interesting posters. This one dates from 2014. I removed some text towards the bottom and replaced it with the album title. I also changed the background color from white.

  1. I've always prefered the Tom Petty's covers than his originals.
    Cheers.
