From what I read, it’s maybe one of the discs from the Playback boxed set?

liebzz wrote:Highway Companion - this another album I really enjoy that has a ton of range on it. It does seem on these solo releases (featuring various members of the Heartbreakers here and there) that Petty is unshackled from expectations he places perhaps on himself. The result is a real stretching out of some of his more folky elements while still maintaining that base Tom Petty signature sound. I really enjoy Turn This Car Around, This Old Town and Golden Rose the most but there’s not a weak track on this one either. It really is how baffling how consistently great Tom Petty was.

liebzz wrote:You’re Gonna Get It is of course another solid outing from Tom as a sophomore album. This one gets to the heart of Tom Petty’s Sound, whereas the self-titled
Feels out a bunch of different sounds, this is mostly straight forward rock album that delivers at just about every corner. In addition to the obvious singles as highlights, I really enjoyed When the Time Comes, You’re Gonna Get It, and No Second Thoughts...but there’s no weak spot here.

Hard Promises: I would think it nearly impossible to follow Damn the Torpedoes but this one is almost as good. Granted this is one of the albums I have heard a bunch of times, but today Kings Road, The Nightwatchman and Criminals Kind really stuck out.
Long After Dark: first time through this one and I just enjoyed it from start to finish. It was a fun album that just blew by.

Rebels, Southern Accents, and Make It Better were great, but nothing tops one of my childhood favorites, Don’t Come Around Here No More, which I know a ton of people hate - but I have always loved that song and that crazy video.

I love these two albums as well. Damn the Torpedoes may be "better", but I go to these two plus You're Gonna Get It the most. Hard Promises, similar to You're Gonna Get It I feel get overlooked a little. Both follow, and come before really strong albums, but both are two of his best.liebzz wrote:Southern Accents: a big left turn!

Yeah, this is the first real drop off for me. I don't hate it, and there are really good songs on it, but it's not as good as what came before it.
