The Super Bowl ad that did not actually
get to plug its product, the appearance by Tom
Petty and the Heartbreakers, has not generated gangbuster business the day after. Petty's appearance, like any other musician or actor who showed up to the game, was to get fans to make purchases, in his case concert tickets.

The overdue induction of two architects of Philadelphia
soul into the Rock and Hall of Fame syncs
nicely with the 45th anniversary of the meeting of producer-songwriters Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. For the uninitiated, Gamble & Huff personified soul music in the 1970s, created a distinct energy and sultriness in the sound that crossed over consistently in the days of less regimented ...

Absence can be a tricky gambit in music,
one taken in the past week by Portishead, Tom
Petty’s first significant band and Steve Winwood. All three released impressive albums on April 29 with different attitudes toward past lives: Winwood is reconciling ‘70s and ‘80s personae; Mudcrutch reflects Petty’s take on a 1971-72 milieu; and Portishead discards its own history to create a take on the ...
