    In some forums, it has been criticised that the audio is "only" 48K rather than 96K. As it seems, Ryan Ulyate himself had his say to this issue:

    "Just wanted to jump in here. I engineered and co produced Mojo with Tom Petty & Mike Campbell. It was recorded through a Digidesign Venue monitor console directly to Pro Tools. The highest sampling rate that is supported with the Venue is 48K, so that's why we went with 24/48 not 24/96. 24/48 is the native format it was recorded in, so there was nothing to be gained by upsampling to 96k. Hope this clarifies things. BTW, the vinyl was mastered from the 24/48 digital files. Vinyl adds it's own sound which is very pleasant, but the digital files are what we were listening to when we mixed the album.

    From the posts i've read here, I'm glad you are excited about Mojo on Blu-ray. I am too, and I'm doing everything I can to promote it (including this post). This is Warner's first "stand alone" audio-only Blu-ray release. If it does well, I'm sure they will consider putting more of their catalog out."

    Billboard CD review: Tom Petty

    ARTIST: TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS

    ALBUM: MOJO

    NEW YORK (Billboard) - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have always been a rock 'n' roll band. But "Mojo," a mostly blues-rock opus clocking in at nearly 65 minutes, is for those who've been waiting for the long-lived group to let the throttle out all the way. Petty and lead guitarist Mike Campbell don't restrain themselves with these arrangements, ranging from the tasteful licks of "Jefferson Jericho Blues" (about founding father Thomas Jefferson's plantation proclivities) to screaming solos on "I Should Have Known It" and the album-closing "Good Enough." Benmont Tench gets his own piano and organ spotlights on such tracks as "Running Man's Bible" and the swirling "Something Good Coming," while Petty and company cut a wide swath through Delta blues ("Takin' My Time"), reggae (the pro-pot "Don't Pull Me Over"), garage rock ("Candy") and nods to soul ("No Reason to Cry") and folk ("Something Good Coming"). It's not news that these guys rock, but on their first new album in eight years the Heartbreakers have their "Mojo" working like they never have before -- which is a fine thing indeed.

    Roll Me Away - Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band

    This part always gives me goosebumps:

    Stood alone on a mountain top,

    Starin' out at the great divide

    I could go east, I could go west,

    It was all up to me to decide

    Just then I saw a young hawk flyin'

    And my soul began to rise

    And pretty soon

    My heart was singin'
