about Classic Albums Live…

 

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Damn The Torpedoes

 

we all miss tom
but a few years from now
we’re going to miss him even more

 

tom had the touch
the songwriters’s touch
it’s the craft of writing a song
that gets the whole world singing along
the current pop songs – i doubt they’ll stand the test of time
but we’ll be hearing ‘refugee’ forever

it’s been 40 years since ‘damn the torpedos’ was released
the sound of that album reminds me of the 70s
it was a time when punk, disco and new wave were all exploding
but ol’ tom stayed the course and wrote a perfect rock album

when we started learning this album
we were struck with how beautiful
the guitars sounded
really silky and graceful
we started out with 2 guitarists
and then we added 2 more
it’s the sound of 4 guitars that allows the music to soar

we’re going to pay this album the respect it deserves
note for note – cut for cut
that’s all you need
