Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers have nearly completed their new album, according to Benmont Tench.
The Heartbreakers' keyboard player has been speaking to Uncut ahead of the release of his solo album, You Should Be So Lucky.
When asked about the status of the new Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers album, Tench told Uncut: "I think we’re virtually done. We cut a lot of stuff; Tom just wants to get the right batch of songs. That’s the scoop on it."
The release will be the band's 13th studio album, and their first since 2010.
Tench's You Should Be So Lucky includes contributions from Petty, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Ryan Adams, Ringo Starr and Don Was. It is released on Blue Note.

Tom Petty To Release New Album This Summer by Dave Lifton March 29, 2014
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have almost completed work on a new album. Although there is no set release date, the band plan to have the 11-track ‘Hypnotic Eye’ out at some point this summer.
After the bluesy sprawl of 2010′s ‘Mojo,’ the new album finds Petty returning to their roots in ’60s garage rock. “I knew I wanted to do a rock n’ roll record,” Petty told Rolling Stone. “We hadn’t made a straight hard-rockin’ record, from beginning to end, in a long time.
This was a conscious decision. Sessions for ‘Hypnotic Eye’ began in August 2011, and a few of the new songs were rejected because they sounded too similary to the ‘Mojo’ material. Rolling Stone describes the tracks as having either “power-treble and clipped-fuzz guitars, “swamp-snake organ lines” or a “bar-band charge.” As with ‘Mojo’ and 2009′s ‘The Live Anthology’ box set, ‘Hypnotic eye will be produced by Petty, his longtime collaborator Mike Campbell and Ryan Ulyate.
“I always say this, but I’m tremendously excited for this one,” Petty said last summer. “It’s morphed into songs we would’ve written around ‘Wildflowers’ or ‘Damn the Torpedoes,’ but much more distorted.”
Petty also confirmed that plans are underway to give his 1994 solo album ‘Wildflowers’ the Deluxe Edition treatment. They will add ten songs to the record, which he hopes will be available by Christmas. A live album culled from last year’s rarity-heavy summer tour is also reportedly in the works.

I wonder if the new album will have a Blu ray version like the last one did.
Wouldn't surprise me. Petty seems to be into sound quality. Remember the limited uncompressed version of Mud Crutch? I don't know of any other Rock artist who's done that with 44/16.

I really like TP, but I have to be careful; like Melissa Etheridge most of the non hits can start sounding the same; though I agree the blues & Alman'ish stuff on Mojo was cool.

Even though I liked it, I think Petty started losing his mojo around the time of "Echoes". Since then I havent been real enthusiatic about any of his material since then. I hope this one is better.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have revealed their next album is to be called Hypnotic Eye – and it’s a return to the classic sound of their earliest work.
The frontman says they only realised what they’d achieved after guitarist Mike Campbell observed: “You sing like you did on the first two albums.”
Petty tells Rolling Stone: “I knew I wanted to do a rock’n'roll record. We hadn’t made a straight hard rocking record, from beginning to end, in a long time.”
It’s taken nearly three years to get there, but he explains: “You must get the songs. It takes time to write 10 or 11 really good songs.” And it wasn’t plain sailing – when he first played his track American Dream Plan B with his bandmates, the response was complete silence.
“I said, ‘Listen, I think we have something here, but we’re going to have to get excited about it.’” In the end that’s what happened; but Petty respects his colleagues’ opinions, and if they hadn’t loved it, the track would have been dumped.
He says: “If they’re not lighting up, something’s wrong. It would be very hard to make this record without a band that’s been together this long, with those kinds of instincts. I’m relieved to have that.
“They’re still the guys I want to play with, and the guys who understand my songs the best.”
Hypnotic Eye is planned for a summer launch via Reprieve Records, with other track titles including Faultlines, Red River, Burn Out Town and Shadow People.

That album was called Echo.
It was an album I thought was very mediocre and it's where Petty lost me from buying new material.
Last DJ & Mojo are good.
And let's not overlook the Mudcrutch album, which in my opinion was fantastic. It's probably my favorite Petty release since Wildflowers.
I like part of Mudcrutch; parts are too country for me.
I understand that, but since I have a higher tolerance for country that album had a bigger impact on me. At the very least, Petty fans shouldn't overlook Mudcrutch because of the name (and the horrible artwork).

I loved Mojo. It's one of my favorite albums by anyone. Otherwise, I'm content with TP's hits.
I really liked Mojo, as well. And the ensuing tour (saw him in Raleigh, with ZZ Top opening) gave us the best of both worlds, with the best songs from Mojo and a lot of his classic tunes. Mike Campbell was on fire, truly one of the most talented guitar players out there

I'm a huge Petty fan. I don't get the hate for The Last DJ. It's one of his all-time best, IMO, and his last top-to-bottom great album. I love the sound and energy of George Drakoulias productions, and wish Petty and the Black Crowes would return to him.
