Tom Petty announces 'Mojo,' Heartbreakers' first studio album in eight years
Listen: 'Good Enough,' first sneak-peak, streaming now
Tom Petty
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers will be releasing a new effort, "Mojo," via Reprise Records some time this spring.
It marks the group's first studio set since 2002's "The Last DJ," though Petty released his third solo effort "Highway Companion" in 2006. The first peak into the album, the slow-churning, blue-tinged "Good Enough," is streaming now on tompetty.com. What do you think?
Along with the album release, The Heartbreakers -- Petty, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Ron Blair, Scott Thurston, Steve Ferrone -- are going on tour, naturally. Tapping My Morning Jacket, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joe Cocker, ZZ Top and Drive-By Truckers as openers, the veteran rock group will step out on May 6 in Raleigh, N.C. and goes until at least Aug. 27 in North America.
Onsale info can be found here, on Petty's website. Many tickets go up starting March 8.
Fans who purchase tickets to the tour get an added bonus: they'll be enabled to download two songs from "Mojo" before it hits stores, and then will get a code to download the whole album once it's out. And that's not all! Bonus live tracks will go up for ticket-buyers once the tour winds down.
