Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration Of Tom Petty

Good cd

A beautiful tribute album An amazing selection of country artists covering the songs of Tom Petty Is a lovely album to listen to , really pleased to add it to my collection

our dog bought this for my wife for Mother's Day! lol I was a bit sceptical but was FULLY enthralled by the music!

Songs are terrific. Covers give sometimes a new light on them. This happens often here.

When I first played this album I thought "well its not Tom Petty" and I left it for a while, but when I played it again I realised it was a wonderful tribute to the late great Tom Petty, with a great mix of Country artistes and tracks, no wonder its big in America.

What an excellent tribute cd with amazing artists covering a great man ....buy this if your a petty fan

Tom Petty fan. What’s not to like. . . Re-workings of a number of classic songs.

Many of these covers of Tom Petty songs are straight ahead, unsubtle renditions of the originals (Marty Stuart, George Strait, Luke Combs and Brothers Osborne are cases in point). However, there are some more interesting ones, such as Lady A doing 'Stop Dragging' My Heart Around', The Cadillac Three and Breland doing 'Free Fallin'', and Rhiannon Giddens delivering an orchestral take on 'Don't come Around Here No More' with the Silkroad Ensemble (which does need a few listens). However, the standout tracks for me are Margo Price delivering a raunchy 'Ways to be Wicked' with Mike Campbell, and Dolly Parton giving her heartfelt take on 'Southern Accents'. The less said about the Willie Nelson and Steve Earle contributions, the better!

What a pleasure it is to hear these great artists pay homage to the incomparable Tom Petty. You can hear the excitement in their voices to be covering these timeless songs. I grew up listening to his music and totally took it for granted at the time. Like it was completely normal and routine to hear these finely crafted songs. Never taking the time to really listen to the subtle lyrics and unique sound, assuming the sound and the man himself would be around forever. For the casual observer, such as myself, it is only upon reflection and revisiting the body of work does the genius become obvious. This tribute album makes the timeless quality of his music even more obvious as these artists breathe new life into these hit songs with such zeal and talent it feels like hearing them for the first time. A personal favorite is the hard-hitting rendition of Refugee by Wynonna Judd and Lainey Wilson.

great track list, very interesting group of artists doing the covers. Easy to reccomend

Je l'attendais avec impatience. Je recommande pour les fans de Tom Petty.

Una de las mayores perdidas de la música en el sigo XXI.

ほゞオリジナル寄りのトリビュートなので原曲の良さを保っており、アーティストたちのオリジナルに対する愛とТomに対する敬意を感じる。この切れ味あるサウンドは是非円盤で体感して欲しい。 アメリカンロックの持つ土埃っぽさと 独自の強いクセが魅力のディランぽいTom.voとは違う、曲によってはハードロック色の増したカントリー歌手によるストレートなカバーは、オリジナルに含有されていた仄かなカントリーフレーバーが相殺され 或いは増幅され、各曲の煌びやかさが増した印象で、各自の声質の良さも有り 非常にパワフルで聴き易くなっている。また、メジャー曲の多さにもあらためて驚かされるが、後期の傑作’echo’からの選曲が無かったのはやや残念。 トム・ペティファンにも、今は亡き本人にもおそらく愛される作品だと感じ、傍でニヤニヤしている姿さえ想像してしまう。 敢えて言わせてもらうと、ドリー・パートンが参加しているならボブ・ディランも… 畑が違うか…。 (カントリーだけに..) ps: 最後のライブ曲は、中だるみ間奏と不安定な音圧が気になり、ガツンと来るオープニング作と 入れ替えた方が良い気がする。
