Basic heartland Tom Petty greatness! From his debut album, so no wonder it doesn't have all the permutations Jay seems to expect. This was Taylor Swift's entrance music for her first tour, in 2006. (16-year-old Taylor didn't mind being on the nose every so often.) For her second tour, Taylor recorded her own cover of the song and used that. (No need to pay Tom performance royalties if she didn't need to; TS isn't a stockbroker's daughter for nothing, after all.) The other major early Tom songs you need to hit are "I Need to Know" and "Listen to Her Heart". If Jay's in a "Keep it simple" mood, that is.

He was one of rock music's romantics, like Springsteen and Bob Seger, who captured the thrill of youth against the odds, in a big country with lots of hopes and no guarantees. To me, they epitomize the America I grew up in. They propelled rock music for a whole generation.

From Dayton, Ohio, they've released DOZENS of albums since the early 90s and have actually gotten better and BETTER. Their leader is ROBERT POLLARD... a middle school teacher who went full-time into music. He is probably the most prolific songwriter in the world, having penned over 3000 songs. His catalog (with GBV, solo, and side projects) is vast... but you can start with "LIZARD ON THE RED BRICK WALL" or "SPACE GUN" and fully connect with the amazing band. Cheers!

This song pulls me along with it, a great rhythm and great background vocals. About the videos: many artists who got their start in the 60s or 70s that were still around in the age of MTV were not thrilled with the pressure to spend time & $$ on videos, preferring their music to be appreciated by ear alone. I remember when Journey refused to do a video along with a new song released in the mid-80s. I thought at the time, "good for them!" LOL😊❤ ❤

This is one of my very favorite Petty songs. I love the guitar tones, especially. And the guest backing vocals by Tulsa native Phil Seymour, who had a few hits of his own, but was better known as half of the Dwight Twilley Band - who you should definitely check out if you haven't already.

Nov 1977, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers opened for Rush at the Tower in Philadelphia. He was unknown to me and most others too I’m pretty sure. This was the one song that left the biggest impression. Breakdown too.
