I've had "Saving Grace" playing in my head the last few days. It's my current MySpace profile song (if MySpace will ever get over their ****ing connection problems!).

I was just trying to edit my profile to put it as my song, too, or at least put the video in my profile, but I can't seem to log in. It was working fine just a couple of minutes ago.

Well that's just crap.

how is it Victoria?

Pure brilliance. I'm loving every second of it. Add this to my list of albums that I can listen to all the way through and not have the urge to skip anything...

Oh wait. I guess it was already on there since the first item on my list was "ANY Tom Petty album."

So its better than "Last DJ" then? I have yet to even hear the single off the album - is it similar to any of Petty/Heartbreakers previous albums?

I don't know that it's "better." Songs like The Last DJ's "Joe" are pretty damn hard to beat. It's definitely got a harder sound to it than the last Petty solo effort (1994's Wildflowers) but not as hard as DJ. I dunno... all Petty albums sound pretty similar in many ways to all other Petty albums. He doesn't really change his sound - with the exception of 1987's "Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)." He kind of adheres to the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" frame of mind.

Did you play the video I posted? So far "Saving Grace" is my favorite track.

Im at work at the moment, and there are no speakers - so no point in playing the video

What about "Southern Accents" - that album was very un-petty My favourite album though is "Full Moon Fever" - a classic

Saving Grace is one of my current favorite songs - been listening on repeat as i am apt to do. i am waiting for the first paycheck of the year (school teacher) to buy the album. it will no doubt be great. thanks for posting the vid, vicky!
