content: good new album from tom petty without heartbreakers.a taste of honey but lyrics not too optimistic about life on the road and music business. the melodies are sublime, a touch of beatles and two touch of dylan, the better dylan. petty is fine observer and tough rocker, the musicof highway companion is a breeze in a hot summer night, his vision of music world is the reflection of a man that has lived all the good and all the bad of the rock n'roll over his skin. Full of maturity, wise and ironic and relaxing too, with great harmonies and airy guitars, highway companion is the best friend of the summer of 2006.MAURO ZAMBELLINI
