New Tom Petty single "Saving Grace"

[materamagic]

It is currently streaming on www.tompetty.com and there is a video for the song as well as the song itself. I hope this can find Australian airplay as it has done very well in the U.S. First single from his album released July 25th. Post your thoughts on the song.

Top Quote from some random,perfectly said.

LaGrange... One Bourbon, One Scotch... They Did Bad Bad Thing... and Saving Grace... all flowing forth from the vital wellspring that was John Lee Hooker. I even heard Petty from backstage at Bonaroo say "It's a rock and roll song with that John Lee Hooker beat." God bless Tom and all the others for proving that when something's just plain right, you honor it, you use it and pass it along, but you need to give props along the way.

the songs starts of with that classic riff,then it gets realy good about a minute in when the drums+heartbreakers kick in! strong lyrics with a more than catchy chorus,simple but very effective.cambells licks are gold as usual.Nothing groundbreaking but it would be good to see it do well,im sure there is more challenging tunes on the album.Nice solid rock tho.

Overall i give it 3.5 / 5
