AndyBJun 16, 2010Possibly the most honest blues album i've heard in a very long time. The honesty that presents itself in every track is incredible.

JacksonJJun 15, 2010Very solid musicianship. Sounds like the band is having fun and is a more representative of their live shows. To bad the Chicago Tribune rating is incorrect. It is showing a "30" and if you click on the review Greg Kot actually gave it 3 out of 4 stars. Should be a "75". Hopefully this will be corrected.

CodyT.Jun 17, 2010A great return for the Heartbreakers. But far from perfect. This album, while a little too long and bloated, does have redeeming qualities though. Styles range from Zeppelin-esque rock (I Should Have Known It) to honky tonk (Jefferson Jericho Blues) to reggae (Don't Pull Me Over). When Petty and his band DO bring home the bacon and fry it in the pan, its well worth the purchase.

Tuneful and gently flowing, Mojo is endowed with the qualities diehards expect from Tom ''Watch Me Rock Out Without Breaking a Sweat'' Petty. What it lacks is instant classics (didn't he used to be good for a few per album?).
-
Petty’s classic pop knack, breezy melodies and laid-back drawl take a back seat to Campbell’s meandering, jammy solos and the album’s overwhelmingly old-guy-blues sound.
-
The record is long on instrumentals and short on singing, with Petty showing up mostly to fill space between guitar solos and extended jams, giving Mojo a higher Heartbreakers-to-Petty ratio than any previous release. But if Mojo is meant to be the band's showcase, it's not an especially successful one.
