It was on this day 50 years ago (Nov. 9, 1976) that Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers put out their debut self-titled record. Look at the songs on this record (all under four minutes)...
- Rockin’ Around (With You) – 2:28
- Breakdown – 2:42 <----the first song I learned on gtr
- Hometown Blues – 2:13
- The Wild One, Forever – 3:01
- Anything That’s Rock ‘n’ Roll – 2:23
- Strangered in the Night – 3:32
- Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It) – 3:48
- Mystery Man – 3:01
- Luna – 3:57
- American Girl – 3:33 <---can you imagine, this was the LAST track!!
Let's celebrate THIS iconic record along with another album with a big anniversary: Radiohead's "I Might Be Wrong: The live recordings" came out 25 years ago this week (Nov. 12, 2001 in the UK, Nov. 13, 2001 in the U.S.)
We'll do a DOUBLE RETRO ALBUM DIVE this week and hear a couple tracks from each record each weekday just after 12-Noon on the SoCal Sound and the FREE SoCal Sound APP.
Until then, my pretties...
