The best Tom Petty record since Full Moon Fever. The singer reconvened his old Florida group after a three-decade layoff, and their country-tinged reunion CD resembles a great, lost Flying Burrito Brothers LP—when it doesn't just sound like a first-rank Heartbreakers project. Hearing Petty belt out ''My love's an ocean — you better not cross it,'' you knew you were getting a statement of purpose as strong as ''I Won't Back Down.''
