Tom Petty 30 Year Anniversary Interview

Mar

2006

It's starting to look like a good year for me and new music. I'm finding lots of new music via podcast and David Gilmour, Gov't Mule and now Tom Petty are going end up with new albums this year. All of them are on that list I've mentioned before of artists that I'll pay full price for any album they put out.

Billboard has an interview with Tom Petty about the 30th anniversary of he and the Heartbreakers. It's a pretty good read and interesting to read his perspective on putting out quality music for my entire life. I agree with one of the other artists they talked to about him. I consider his discography to be a soundtrack to my life.

He isn't the kind of artist who the modern "American Idol" poll-taking approach to choosing our musicians would make famous, so I'm glad he started 30 years ago. Of course, it doesn't hurt that, given my nasal voice, I can sing along and not sound nearly as bad as I do with others.

    I look forward to the new Tom Petty — one of my favorite concerts was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers at the Fillmore in 1997. Small venue and they really rocked.
