In this week’s episode, we take a look at the album ‘Full Moon Fever’, the first solo record from Tom Petty. 

This album follows a decade of worldwide success while serving as a frontman for his band The Heartbreakers. Born in 1950, Petty grew up in the small university town of Gainesville, Florida, and  turned his attention to music after meeting Elvis Presley on the set of his film, ‘Follow That Dream’. 

Sixteen studio albums later, Petty is considered as one of the greatest figures in rock ’n’ roll, and was recognised as such until his passing in 2017.

This album frames a very happy time period in my life, and is really fall-off-the-bone kinda stuff, and I look forward to exploring it with the guys. As always, thank you for supporting the show. This is ‘Full Moon Fever’ by Tom Petty.
