TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS...You're Gonna Get It (1978)
You're Gonna Get It, the second album from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. was released 35 years ago today in 1978. It reached number 23 on the U.S. Billboard album charts. I highly recommend this album and give it a 3 out of 5 stars. It was fun listening to this record. It's a good straight-ahead rock n roll record. Petty has that lazy-I-don't-care-attitude vocal style which, somehow in his case, works very well. The Heartbreakers are an excellent band, as this album shows. "Magnolia" was the highlight for me, as well as "I Need To Know" and "Hurt." The only track I didn't care for was the title track "You're Gonna Get It." Definitely check this album out
