if you aren’t familiar with benmont, he’s the piano player in tom petty’s heartbreakers.

his voice and in fact most of it reminds me of you. the phrasing and the strumming type rhythm chords, whtvr: the chops.

i know he’s a hundred, but we will be too someday.

i’m also gonna try to wrip his song “why don’t you quit leaving me alone”. roseanne cash had it on her “king’s record shop” album. back when there were albums. :)

Good stuff.. I was on a Tom Petty kick this past weekend.

"Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom."

Benmont reminds me a bit of Tom Waits and Jakob Dylan smashed together. Love the guitar, softly crunchy with a nice quiet punch hook.
