From the album Mojo (2010)
“First Flash Of Freedom” by Tom Petty appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2013. It was first released in 2010 on the album Mojo. Its best result is #727 on the WXPN 885 Greatest Songs of the New Millennium (2013).
"First Flash of Freedom" lives on Mojo, the twelfth studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the 2010 record that ended an eight-year wait for a new one from the band. Petty wrote it with Mike Campbell, and the two of them produced it with Ryan Ulyate, who recorded it with Greg Looper and did the mix.
The band is all over it: Petty sings and plays guitar alongside Campbell, Benmont Tench covers both piano and organ, Steve Ferrone drums and Ron Blair plays bass. Blair's name carries a little history, since Mojo was his first full album with the band since Hard Promises in 1981, and here they sound like a band that knows exactly who it is and feels no need to prove it.
