Playlist Preview: Tom Petty
He is a Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer. A Wilbury. And a cartoon character.Tom Petty has accomplished much in his 30-plus music career. Collaborations with Stevie Nicks, George Harrison, Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan. Eighteen Grammy nominations. Numerous lifetime achievement awards. And appearances on both 'The Simpsons' and 'King of the Hill' (which is a little funny if you think about it - he's starting to look like Grandpa Simpson).
Petty, a native of Gainesville, Fla. who was inspired at an early age after meeting Elvis Presley, performed this past Sunday as part of the SuperBowl halftime show. With a new album on the way and a summer concert planned at Charlotte's Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre (I'll be there - sixth row), check out Thursday's Shelby Star and come back to the blog for my five favorite songs from Tom Petty, both with and without the Heartbreakers.
As a little bonus for TP fans, I dug up the review I wrote after attending the 2006 Charlotte concert. Enjoy!
