The Tom Petty Project
@tompettyproject.bsky.social
This is the weekly podcast that digs into the entire Tom Petty catalogue song by song, album by album and includes conversations with musicians, fans, and people connected with Tom along the way.
This week's episode takes a look at the 30th anniversary performance from the Stephen C. O'Connell Center in Gainesville, Florida. There are some career-best performances in this set and it's a show I'm sure you all love as much as I do! pod.link/1580769475/e...
The round of 16 is complete and the matchups for the second half od the draw will be up right away! Black Sabbath made light work of the B-52's and Crosby, Stills & Nash pulled off a minor upset by dispatching the Ramones debut quite comfortably.
The first matchups are in the books and in a shock to no-one, Tom and the boys blew past 10cc (an album which I absolutely adore!) Next up, they'll face Paul Rodgers and Bad Company! Voting opens tomorrow.
Next week we'll be talking about the show Tom and the boys played in Gainesville as part of the 30th anniversary tour. What are you favourite songs and moments from that show? Were you there? What are your memories of the show? youtu.be/ehPUJKk2_dg

No episode this week folks! It's been a busy one again! I tell you, this whole life and work thing getting in the way of my Petty nerding is starting to get old. Can't wait ti retire....... 🤣 See you next week!
Over on Facebook, I'm going to be running a fun little bracket. There have been some monumental self-titled debut albums and we're going to put them head to head in a series of polls to find out which one will come out on top! (I'm thinking I can guess which it will be!)
A great chat between Jake Thistle and Sam from Bye Lily. Two wonderful songwriters and genuinely awesome dudes. I know Jake needs little introduction around here, but if you haven't checled out Voicenotes by Bye Lily yet, go give it a listen. youtu.be/4hZe0bDHAb8

Howie should have turned 71 today. Thankfully we have his presence all over so many of Tom's records and on so many others. Outside of The Heartbreakers, I think my favourite collaboration of his was John Prine's "The Missing Years", which Howie produced masterfully. RIP Howie. We miss ya!

Today's episode is the first a my "Recovering Petty" series where I look at covers of Tom's songs that take them far away from the original form and into new and interesting waters. The first installment is the superb interpretation of It'll All Work Out by the incomparable Phoebe Bridgers.
This week, something different htis way comes.
Today's episode is a wonderful chat that I had with my pal Josh Caldwell about guitars, guitarists, and Mike Campbell. Josh is the host of The Engine Room - a podcast that dives into tone, gear, and the tricks that make six strings sing! pod.link/1580769475/e...
Happy Independence Day to all my American friends. 🟥⬜🟦 Incredible to think that FIFTY years ago today, one of the greatest rock n roll songs of all time was recorded. ❤️
This week's episode covers The Golden Rose, the last song from Highway Companion! pod.link/1580769475/e...
When the announcement dropped about this release, the first thing I did was contact my local record store and ask them to bring it in for RSD.
A different sort of episode today folks. As many of you know, I also co-host @seasidepodreview.bsky.social with my best pal Randy, who does all the music for this podcast. I hope you'll indulge me for a half hour as I talk about my first idol. pod.link/1580769475/e...

Hey all - my Facebook profile was disabled by Meta - for unstated reasons - so I'm going through the headache of setting up a new profile and hopefully getting access back to my TPP page!
Kev Brown@kevbrowncanada.bsky.social · 3mo agoHey all! My Facebook account was permanently deactivated, with no reason at all given and I'm not allowed to challenge it or ask anyone any questions. Hugely inconvenient. 1/5
It's time to dig into Night Driver, the marvellous eighth track from Highway Companion! ⬛ tinyurl.com/3pevwsbv 🍎 tinyurl.com/mt4vyv7c 🟢 tinyurl.com/4nw97brz 🟥 youtu.be/IFjMWwpYHnY
Hey gang! I’ve been feeling really out of sorts the last few days. Not “sick” exactly, just tired and unfocused. I haven’t had the creative energy to write so I’m going to have to skip this week’s release again!!! Apologies! I promise I’ll be back next week when I’m back at it.
Heya folks! Just a heads up that this week's episode will be a day or two late. It "should" be ready on Thursday but there's a very slight possibility that it will be Friday. I'll let you know but for regular listeners, check your pod players on Thursday! #EpisodeDelay #LeavesOnTheTrackAtCrewe
The first verse contains one of my all time favourite lyrics. Not just one of my very favourite Tom Petty lyrics, just one of my favourite lyrics full stop. ⬛ tinyurl.com/ychcy4a2 🍎 tinyurl.com/ynty5ja7 🟢 tinyurl.com/25mxk6an 🟥 youtu.be/Q8oSzEDwctE
