Sadly, after having finished a long tour in which he was in tremendous physical pain from a broken hip and suffering from emphysema, rock legend Tom Petty died Octofrom an accidental overdose on prescription medication he was taking to combat the pain. Petty released 16 studio albums, 11 live and compilation albums, and 68 singles. For the next 40 years (nearly to the day) Petty would be one of the most successful and enduring artists, pleasing both fickle radio executives and hardcore music fans who typically eschew the radio. The band’s 1977 eponymous debut included the hit single, Breakdown. After Mudcrutch failed to garner radio support, the group called it quits, and Petty decided to embark upon a solo career with The Heartbreakers as his band. Petty’s first band, Mudcrutch, formed in 1976 and included two future members of The Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench.

One of Petty’s first guitar teachers was none other than Don Felder, who would later be a member of the Eagles and would write one of the most famous guitar solos in rock and roll history, the guitar duel with Joe Walsh in Hotel California. Petty became an Elvis fan and devoted his life to music shortly thereafter.

Petty was born in Gainesville, Florida, and he became a budding musician at the age of 10 after meeting Elvis Presley on the set of one of Presley’s movies (Petty’s uncle worked on the set). That doesn’t diminish, however, the strength of the record (which is in my top three Petty albums). And while You Got Lucky was a number 1 hit, two other singles from the album- Change of Heart and Straight into Darkness-failed to strike it big. His new release, Long After Dark, got off to a great start with You Got Lucky, which soared to number 1 on the charts, thanks in part to the emergence of MTV and its power to bring music from around the world right into our homes in a way that local radio just couldn’t and wouldn’t do. The year was 1982, and rocker Tom Petty had just come off a string of five top 40 hits from his Damn the Torpedoes and Hard Promises records. It’s also one of the best rock albums in a generation. The deluxe version of Petty’s Damn the Torpedoes is available at Amazon. If you’re in the market for a copy of Tom Petty’s Long After Dark, be sure to get the remastered version.
