Tom
Petty is like Johnny Cash, he can't make a bad album. First
there is Tom Petty's voice which has that sad reminiscent
quality that doesn't depress but gives that "isn't life tragically
beautiful" feeling. Then there is the strongly developed Tom
Petty country-esque guitar style.
The
Last DJ is a great record to throw on during a rainy day or
a game of cards. The majority of the lyrical content is an
exploration of life issues- a statement against the blood
sucking industry that obviously has no interest in art, violent
youth, and love.
This
isn't Petty's best album nor is it ground breaking or experimental
but why change something if it's not broken?
