Even as Petty earned elder-statesman status, he and the Heartbreakers never relinquished their ties to each other and their love of raw, honest rock 'n' roll. After 1991's Into the Great Wide Open, Lynch was replaced by Steve Ferrone, and 1999's Echo was Epstein's final Heartbreakers album before drugs claimed his life in 2003 Blair then returned to resume his old role.

Born in Gainesville, Florida in 1950, Petty spent his youth soaking up rock verities from first-gen rebels like Elvis Presley and '60s British Invasion legends like The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. If someone wanted an audio capture of the everyman themes, the guitar licks, and the head-nodding grooves that are what rock 'n' roll is all about, a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers record would fill the need.
