Description:
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers: Tom Petty (vocals, guitars, keyboards); Mike Campbell (guitar, keyboards, bass guitar); Benmont Tench (keyboards, background vocals); Howie Epstein (bass guitar, background vocals); Ron Blair (bass guitar); Stan Lynch (drums, background vocals).
In the 1970s and `80s, amid the rise of New Wave and synth pop, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers almost single-handedly brought old-school power-pop and garage-rock musical values into the mainstream. The roots-conscious Floridians are often regarded as "heartland rockers," and tunes like the jangling, Byrds-like "American Girl" certainly make a case for that appellation. At the same time, "Don`t Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky" eagerly expand that stylistic template with haunting atmospherics and neo-psychedelic touches.
GREATEST HITS offers a handy, hook-laden, single-disc summary of this great American band. It traverses the Heartbreakers` journey from raw, lean `70s enfants terribles to elder rock-&-roll statesmen. Conveniently, it also includes the two best Heartbreakers tunes never to grace one of their studio albums--"Mary Jane`s Last Dance" and the Petty/Stevie Nicks duet, "Stop Draggin` My Heart Around."
