iTunes Review

After working with a multitude of producers on the ambitious Southern Accents, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers went back to basics for 1987’s Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough). Primarily, the album springs from an alliance between Petty and guitarist Mike Campbell, who co-produced and co-wrote most of the songs. The Heartbreakers had just come off tour with Bob Dylan, and his influence looms large over Let Me Up — he is even credited as a co-writer on “Jammin’ Me,” a song that sounds more like something by Jagger-Richards. The influence of Dylan is evident in the rollicking presentation, but even more so on Petty’s vocals, especially on “How Many More Days,” “It’ll All Work Out,” and the bizarre but wonderful cowpoke shuffle of “A Self Made Man.” Obviously, Dylan showed the Heartbreakers that it’s possible to be strange and heartfelt, while keeping it simple at the same time. The electronic inflections of “Runaway Trains” and “My Life / Your World” show traces of Southern Accents, but the better part of the album revives the ragged pop-rock of Hard Promises. “Think About Me” and “Ain’t Love Strange” are pure and classic Heartbreakers.

Customer Reviews

Fair...

Any Tom Petty album is worth owning, but this is probably his most marginal effort. The production is dated, sounding very '80's and somewhat shallow. Allegedly, the band had a tough time recording these tracks and it sounds that way. I own it 'cause it's part of Tom's discography, but it's the least played of all. Jammin' Me, the song not on the iTunes release, is probably the best. Don't make this your first purchase of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. Start with Hard Promises, Damn the Torpedoes or any of his solo (titled) efforts. Those are legendary albums.

Petty wasn't fond of this one, but I love it!

This album was released in 1987 and features some very strong songs penned by Mike Campbell and Tom Petty. "Runaway Trains," is one of my favorite Petty songs ever. The title track is excellent too. "All Mixed Up," is an offbeat song with a very catchy hook. Petty has written that this LP was not one of his favorites, but it is one my favorite Heartbreakers LPs. The Heartbreakers sound great with Campbell's great guitar work and the fantastic Benmont Tench on keyboards, throw in Stan Lynch on drums and the great backing vocals of Howie Epstein and you have one fantastic band. The only criticism I have is the cover, which ties in with the title, but is still a bit on the creepy side. I wish Tom would play a few songs from this LP live, but he rarely does. Overall, an excellent CD that gets lost in Petty's massive catalog of outstanding records.

my favorite

this is by far, my over all favorite heartbreakers album. but do yourself a favor, and go buy the complete album, at a local retailer. as this is incomplete, and the sound quality is not up to par.
