American mythology is the overriding theme on this album: those vast limitless horizons, the highway, gunslingers, the wild West. Petty is a myth maker on a par with Springsteen, with an equal talent for imagery and metaphor. His nasal whine was made for producer Jeff Lynne's expert application of soaring, soothing and chugging guitars, while the melodies are mesmerising throughout. Most compelling tracks are the title one, Learning To fly, king's Highway, All The Wrong Reasons and Built To Last with its resonant echoing boom. A richly textured album that opens up more and more sonic delights with every listen.

'Into The Great Wide Open' is another Jeff Lynne produced album, but after the solo 'Full Moon Fever' this album features all the Heartbreakers. They didn't all record this album live in the studio as they had done previously, Lynne prefers to layer his music tracks and some of the Heartbreakers didn't get on with his style especially well. Saying that, this album is still excellent and has that distinctive Heartbreaker sound coupled with Lynnes particular polished production style. This album has some superb tracks, from the well known 'Learning To Fly' and title track, to my favourites on this album 'Two Gunslingers' and 'Kings Highway'. If you like 'Full Moon Fever' I'd say it is a safe bet that you'll like this album and if you're a fan of Petty then this is wonderfully familiar territory. Well worth a listen.

If you've never heard Tom Petty before, then you've missed out. This particular Album like much of his ealier work is exceptionally good. It plays well in any setting, but especially in the car on long journeys. Once you've learned the basic lyrics you'll be singing along with great ease and wondering what life was like before the Tomster.

I enjoyed every track on this cd
I enjoyed every track on this cd but none of them are groundbreakers. This guy has a voice a bit like Chris Rea's but more upbeat which is inevitable given the fast tempo and... Read more
