Well, we've covered all the songs on Echo now, so that can only mean one thing! That's right. It's time for John Paulsen to join me again to wrap up the twelfth album and dig into the vinyl age, whether fifteen songs is too many, and of course, a whole lot of back and forth about the album! As always, it was great to hang with John for an hour and dive into the darkest work in Tom's catalogue.

A last very special thanks to Paul Zollo. Without his book, "Conversations with Tom Petty", this podcast wouldn't be nearly as much fun to research. And further thanks to Warren Zanes for his outstanding book "Petty, the Biography".

“One more night, God I've had to fight. To keep my line of sight on what's real”. That opening line really acts as a double underline on the pain and weariness that Tom has explored lyrically throughout much of his twelfth album. When author Paul Zollo mentions this in Conversations with Tom Petty, asking “Can you keep some perspective, being within the music industry, on the meaning and impact an album can have to some guy who is far outside of the system?”, Tom answers “I hope it’s still like that. I hope people still get albums and get inspired by them."

NOTE: The audio quality isn't as good as it usually is as I am recording on my laptop due to my main computer, that I usually record and has my good mic etc. died last week and is away in the shop in the queue to be examined.

Wolfie is back to answer my ten "quick fire" questions, which seem to be taking longer and longer! His pick for favourite Heartbreaker came as a surprise but his three words to describe Tom Petty are pretty fantastic! Don't forget to go check out Greg's music on Soundcloud (links below) and if you're in the Connecticut area, make sure you check out when his band Accidental Breakdown is playing!
