Playlists in Person: “Remembering Tom Petty”

Playlists+in+Person%3A+Remembering+Tom+Petty+1

Follow @theforestscout on Spotify for curated playlists from the authors.

For nearly five decades, Tom Petty’s everyman rock and roll–complete with unforgettable guitar riffs and his trademark nasally, nostalgic lyrics–was a voice that emulated American youth. Whether it was “with them Indiana boys on an Indiana night,” or “movin’ west down Ventura Boulevard,” Petty’s lyrics and musical prowess ignited alt-rock to center stage for good. One of the last true rock musicians still touring, Petty’s legacy will last long beyond his 66-year legacy behind the microphone with a guitar in hand. Listen below to a curated playlist of some of Petty’s greatest hits, including tracks with the Heartbreakers, Petty’s trusty band, or The Traveling Wilburys, one of the icon’s first musical acts.
