Tom Petty Into the Great Wide Open

Since his 1976 debut album (including the single American Girl), singer and guitarist Tom Petty has written a very impressive string of hits. Informed by the jangly pop of The Byrds, the roots rock of Creedence Clearwater Revival and the punk urgency of the mid-seventies, he found the perfect sparring partner in lead guitarist Mike Campbell, and the perfect band in the Heartbreakers. Today, they still deliver a great rock show for packed arenas.
