Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers have the blues bug. While not a covers record, "Mojo" is steeped in these displaced Southerners' love of American blues. It was recorded completely live — no overdubs. Just the sound of band that's spent more than 30 years learning how to read one another's minds. "Mojo" is loose in the best blues-band way. It's not some of Petty's tightest writing, but it's a stellar showcase of one of the tightest bands around. Yes, they've got their mojo working. Yes, it will work on you. There, I said it.
