Thomas Earl Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist. He was the leader and frontman of the rock bands Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Mudcrutch and a member of the late 1980s supergroup the Traveling Wilburys. He was also a successful solo artist.
- “It’ll All Work Out” Inspired by Petty’s brief separation from his wife, Jane, during the making of Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough), “It’ll All Work Out” is a sweetly effectual breakup song.
- “I Should Have Known It” “We’d record in one or two takes,” Petty said of 2010’s Mojo. “We couldn’t have made this album in the Eighties.” Mojo, which was recorded at the band’s Los Angeles rehearsal space, saw the Heartbreakers get back to the raw, impassioned vigor of their early work, minus any extraneous studio sweetening; “I Should Have Known It” has the garage-blues drive of classic Yardbirds or Led Zeppelin, with a grinding riff and a wailing vocal from Petty.
- “The Best of Everything” Southern Accents closes with a powerful ballad that Petty calls “one of the best songs I ever wrote.” He’d intended “The Best of Everything” for 1981’s Hard Promises, but held it and eventually gave it to Robbie Robertson, who added horns and enlisted his fellow Band alums Garth Hudson on keyboard and Richard Manuel on backing vocals.
- “A Higher Place” “It’s a nice hopeful lyric,” says Mike Campbell of the brightest-sounding song on Wildflowers. Petty sang all the harmonies, and Campbell garlanded the melody with swirling psychedelic guitar that recalls the Byrds and the Beatles.
Feb 24, 2024 · The run of early albums, from Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers through to 1982’s Hard Promises, were brilliant in their economy – of songwriting, of length and of intent – as much a reaction to the glossy ‘corporate rock’ of bands like Foreigner and Boston as punk had been. Even when the production got lusher and the track-listings got longer, he never lost sight of his own personal north star.
