“Every Heartbeat,” mines a sweet picked acoustic ache-for-a-lover tune, a pretty and unique take, even in the face of a lyrical concept we have heard very often. The killer slide doesn’t hurt either. Slowing things down even more, the deep tearjerker piano ballad of forgiveness, “Release,” and the mid-tempo organ swirl and heavy snare of “Shout It Out,” remind us of what Potter has been through in her near half decade off; divorce, the break up of her band, then her new marriage and the birth of her first child. All the pain and emotions handled expertly by Potter and her players here, Benny Yurco, Matt Musty, Benmont Tench, and Larry Goldings.

The Florida disc is 13 songs long. Featuring covers like “Should I Stay Or Should I Go,” “For What It’s Worth” (not so special save for long time Petty guitarist Mike Campbell) and hits like the great audience participation on the low and sexy “Breakdown” and “The Waiting” (which begins with just Petty and his guitar) it is evident that Petty and his band are a crackjack outfit. The sound here (as it is on the North Carolina disc) is pretty great, you can hear each and every instrument and Petty’s warble is up front but not over powering.
