Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Tom Petty (vocals, guitar, ukelele, piano, bass); Scott Thurston (guitar, lap steel guitar, ukelele); Mike Campbell (guitar, bass); Benmont Tench (piano, organ, keyboards); Ron Blair (bass); Steve Ferrone (drums).

Additional personnel includes: Lenny Castro (percussion); Lindsey Buckingham (background vocals).

Contains an Enhanced CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files, as well as a bonus DVD.

Money and its corrupting effects on rock music are the subject matter on much of THE LAST DJ, the umpteenth Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album since the band's eponymous 1976 debut. The singer is shocked--shocked!--to find just how insidious the green stuff's effects are on the music business. On hearing this, a listener might reasonably wonder if Tom Petty has spent the last 30 years under a proverbial rock, but being a Tom Petty album, of course, tunes and songcraft are beyond reproach and much may be forgiven.

Both songwriter and listeners find themselves on more familiar ground with "When a Kid Goes Bad," about the kind of kids that make the headlines after criminal misadventures with firearms and the like. The broad rock & roll landscape of "Blue Sunday" is vintage Petty in its minimalist retelling of a brief encounter on the road. "Lost Children" is a heartfelt prayer that develops into an extended guitar jam. Ultimately the plain, unvarnished pop of "You and Me" reveals Tom Petty doing what he does best--telling a simple story simply.

Limited edition CD/DVD combo. More info to follow.

4 stars New CD release for a man at war with the industry
Tom Petty has been producing high quality albums for three decades. This album does not disappoint, with the usual wide selection of songs, cleverly crafted and well played. The "theme" of the album backs up Tom Petty's dislike of how the industry attempts to make short term returns, at the expense of nurturing talent for the long term. He has a point too, but as with all such negativity, one wonders if this is the best way to reach the industry power mogels; they probably don't listen to music anyway - certainly not quality rock sold on its sound and not on the gloss created by its publicity machine. Keep up the quality music please Tom, you could well be part of a dying breed.

4 stars Classic Tom Petty with a message
Many of the songs on the Last DJ relate to the corporate take-over of the music business both in radio and the recording industry. Because of Tom Petty's long career in music, he has seen the decline of the personal contact that is now missing between the artist, the recording industry and even the fans. He has used his influence to make a statement about this situation and hopefully see some changes made. He songs have some new sounds but still have his familiar style and guitar driven sound. It is solid album from a group that you can depend on to deliver some great music.

5 stars great as usual
Great set of songs. If something is missing, well, maybe mainstream harmony from 80-ties? I love Petty singing 'Into The Great Wide Open' ;-) Tom Petty has right to say something about bizz and he has done. I wonder only why this CD is Warners' labeled? Prince made 'Emancipation' happy to went out. Tom is happy working for big bizz and sings about big bizz morders. ?? Peter Gabriel made his own record label. Tom, what about you? ;-) I love Tom Petty too much to write some angry words or to be disappionted with this great CD. But something does not fit me. :-)

5 stars A True Masterpiece to Mark the Time!
This album is nothing short than great! I bought it for my stepfather for christmas and after reading and hearing the great lyrics, I was very impressed. The song "Last DJ" is his first hit-single off the album, if you haven't heard it, check out your local Classic Rock station, they are surely playing it. He speaks about corruption in the radio industry in which DJ's no longer have the freedom to choose what they play and almost only talentless BS gets heard anymore (hip-hop/rap). This type of music SELLS FAST, but has no quality in lyrics (for the most part) and doesen't even require an artist to know one musical instument. Many of his other songs focus on the same thing or the corruption in the Recording Industy, which controls over 80% of all albums. The true talent isn't getting out anymore and it's no longer about the fans who love music and artists who love making music. It's about how much and how fast the Inustry can sell. Basically he is saying quality has gone down.. way down and all the billionare CEOs are concerned with is how much money they can pull in. It's sad, but true. Tom Petty is a true legend! I highly suggest purchasing this CD because it's one of the few current ones worth the money! Thanks Tom Petty!! And btw to the guy who was crying about the CD having copy protection: That has nothing to do with the quality of the CD! And this CD can be copied to your computer, I did it, but I won't say how here because I don't want to get CD Universe in trouble with the RIAA.

Neilson Hubbard Sing Into Me CD  (2003)

Last DJ songs
CD $13.45  Audio Samples
Neilson Hubbard has the voice of a fragile and broken singer/songwriter. Going down the road of people like Elliott Smith and, to a lesser extent, Soul Asylum, the singer starts by questioning the future in "Stars." It's a poignant opener that has lovely harmonies from Cathy Horne. It has a certain British pop flavor, courtesy of the Beatles-like vocals that soar as it concludes. "You'll Be There" is a gorgeous duet that suggests a young Michael Penn as a starting point. What works better, though, are his lyrics, since they could be directed at his lover or -- as is often the case -- a spiritual power. David ...
Vivid
Kali Zusaan Fasteau Vivid CD  (2001)

Last DJ album
CD $17.75
Kali Fasteau presents 15 live recordings named for the aural suggestion of each work and its counterpart in the visual spectrum on Vivid, and the result is an excellent display of creativity and imagination that transcends boundaries and takes her listeners to another level of music aesthetics. The multi-instrumentalist, composer, and arranger plays a set filled with exciting techniques, including her simultaneous playing of the drums, soprano sax, and voice! Joined by such expressive masters as William Parker on contrabass; Joe McPhee on soprano sax and pocket trumpet; Hamid Drake on drum set, bindir, and voice; Sabir Mateen on alto sax, tenor saxe, and bamboo side flute; and Ron McBee on djembe and African percussion, the sextet exudes music's energies and colors -- whether seen, heard, or felt, within the mind's eye, ear, or touch associations. This concept, also explored and appreciated by such great artists as Avishai Cohen on Colors and the great musical educator Arnold Schoenberg, will definitely open your musical senses with its brightly colored synaesthesia. "Chartreuse," recorded live at Canada's Guelph Jazz Festival, is a six-minute piece designed with soprano sax, whirling tube, djembe, and percussion, and presents Fasteau's ambitious composition in a light that embraces this spectrum of tonalities by using intuitive approximation and subjective objectivization. Other colors explored and realized are a 12-minute version of "Sun Yellow," with Joe McPhee burning on pocket trumpet and soprano sax, and the mystical "Tamil Blue," on which Fasteau plays the nai and kaval flutes. This CD is a brilliant achievement, and for those interested in a creative display utilizing color associations with certain sounds or tonalities, Vivid is the perfect choice. ~ Paula Edelstein VIVID is an all-star recording with the outstanding musicians: bassist William Parker, Hamid ...
