Data Insight

Let Me Up (I've Had Enough) is a rawer, more spontaneous record that Tom Petty produced himself with guitarist Mike Campbell. Petty wrote or co-wrote all eleven tracks, with the lead single 'Jammin' Me' credited to Petty, Bob Dylan, and Mike Campbell, a song born from words and headlines Dylan and Petty assembled together. The self-production gives the album a looser, garage-leaning feel compared with the layered Southern Accents that preceded it. It followed Petty's stint touring as Bob Dylan's backing band, a collaboration that fed directly into the writing.

A loose, spontaneous-sounding album self-produced by the Heartbreakers following a period of arena touring. One of Petty's least polished productions.
