INTRODUZIONE
Venduto più di cinquanta milloni di dischi in tutto il mondo di musica dura e ti musica tenera, Tom Petty ha ontrattato con sucesso ogni decennio della sua carriera che parte a meta degli anni settanta quando lui dormiva sotto punk radar e finoad oggi. Al inizio Petty veniva percepito come un'artista nell'avanguardia della "new wave" quando lui in realtà era uno tradizionalista con le profonde radici nel classic-rock. Lui ha preso questi elementi e ha aggiunto la sua impronta unica, conferendo alla sua musica un suono fortemente personale. Con il chitarrista solista Mike Campbell al suo fianco che era come Keith Richards per Mick Jagger, Petty ha creato il rock "fuori" dal tempo come erano i suoi illustri predecessori: The Rolling Stones, the Byrds, e Bob Dylan. Thomas Earl Petty era nato a Gainesville, Florida il 20 Ottobre del 1950. Non pensava di suonare la chitarra fino il 1961 quando nella vicina città di Ocala iniziarono le riprese del film "Follow that Dream" con Elvis. Lo zio di Petty aveva una impresa di produzione cinematografica e ha organizzato per il ragazzo grazie ai suoi contatti un breve incontro sul set con the "King". Come raccontava Petty, quell' incontro da vicino con Elvis, che ha appena ricevuto gli applausi della folla gremita, intero spettacolo e il suo entourage: capelli corvini di Elvise, i fans strillanti, di punto in bianco cambiato la sua vita. Questo suo pensiero "che essere una rock star è un bel lavoro", Petty commercializzò una vera "catapulta " per molti single di Elvis ed è emerso nello studio di musica del leggendario cantante. In più,come moltissimi altri, l'aver visto i Beatles" all' Ed Sullivan Show al inizio del 1964 ha deciso il suo futuro: doveva proprio fare qualcosa anche lui. Al età di 14 anni, Petty suonava la chitarra nelle band come Sundowners ed Epics. Grazie ad Epics incontra Tom Leadon. Interessante che il fratello di Tom - Berni era il membro fondatore del mega stars The Eagles. A dicciasette anni Petty lascia lo studio e crea insieme ad Leadon e il tastierista Benmont Tench Mudcrutch. Mike Campbell viene aggiunto come secondo chitarrista e Petty all'inizio suonava il basso fino quando il Leadon è partito per California nel 1972. Mudcrutch faceva i tour nei stati del Sud -Est per qualche anno arrivando ad avere la grande popolarità e condividendo le locandine con Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Selling more than fifty million records worldwide of music both tough and tender, Tom Petty has successfully negotiated every decade in his career-beginning in the mid-seventies, when he slipped in under the punk radar, up to the present. Petty was originally perceived as being in the avanguard of the "new wave," when he was, in fact, a traditionalist with deep classic-rock roots. He took these elements and added his unique stamp, giving his music a highly personal sound. With lead guitarist Mike Campbell at his side, akin to the role of Keith Richards to Mick Jagger, Petty has created rock as timeless as his illustrious predecessors the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, and Bob Dylan. Thomas Earl Petty was born in Gainesville, Florida on October 20, 1950. He had not thought about playing music until 1961, when Elvis was in nearby Ocala shooting on location for Follow that Dream. Petty's uncle had a film-developing business and, through his contacts, arranged for the youngster to briefly meet the "King" on the set. Elvis just "grunted" a greeting, according to Petty, but this close encounter, and the entire spectacle with the entourage-Presley's jet-black hair and screaming fans-changed his life on the spot. Thinking that being a rock star "looked like a great job," Petty traded a slingshot for a stack of Elvis singles and immersed himself in learning the music of the legendary singer. In addition, like countless others, seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in early 1964 sealed his fate; he had to go out and rock. By age fourteen, Petty was playing guitar in bands such as the Sundowners, and later, the Epics. It was through the Epics that Petty met guitarist Tom Leadon. Interestingly, Tom's brother, Bernie Leadon, was a founding member of rock mega-stars, the Eagles. At seventeen, Petty quit high school and joined Leadon and keyboardist Benmont Tench in Mudcrutch. Mike Campbell was added as a second guitarist, and Petty initially played bass until Leadon left for California in 1972. Mudcrutch ran around the Southeast circuit for a few years, reaching a significant level of local stardom and often sharing bills with Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band made a trip to Capricorn Records in Georgia only to be told they were "too British" for a label pushing Southern blues-rock with the likes of the Allman Brothers Band and the Marshall Tucker Band. Ironically, Petty has stated that his bands were always into the blues, could play the style authentically, and even recorded some blues numbers, but it was these tracks that were always the first to be excised from their albums by the label. Using borrowed money, the band recorded two tracks-"Up in Mississippi Tonight" and "Cause Is Understood"-and released them independently. Discouraged by the Capricorn Records experience, but encouraged by Tom Leadon's success in the West, Petty took a copy of Mudcrutch's home demo, On the Street, to Shelter Records, in Hollywood-a label that was recently formed by Leon Russell and Denny Cordell. Petty eventually moved Mudcrutch to Los Angeles in 1974, and the band signed a contract with Shelter Records and released one single, "Depot." Purportedly, Petty took some guitar lessons from Eagles guitarist Don Felder while in Southern California. After a long and fruitless year trying to record an album, Petty quit the band and tried to make a go of it as a solo act, recording with a group of top LA session cats. As good as they were, Petty tired of working with hired guns and hooked back up with Campbell and Tench in 1975. Along with bassist Ron Blair and drummer Steve Lynch, the Heartbreakers were formed. Petty assumed control of the band, renaming it Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, and took them back to Shelter Records, where he was still under contract. The band went into the studio again as a group and recorded Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, which was released in 1976. This LP languished stateside until the Heartbreakers toured England, opening for Nils Lofgren, and created a buzz that
