Album Notes & Community Reviews

Reuniting with producer Jeff Lynne, the iconic songwriter delivers his third formal solo outing, characterized by its incredibly polished, rhythmic roots-rock sound. Petty handles the vast majority of the instrumentation himself, alongside Lynne and Mike Campbell. The lyrical themes focus heavily on travel, aging, and reflection.
