Tom Petty

Troubadours Of Folk
Here's Tom Petty and Roger McGuinn at the Troubadours Of Folk, which was at U.C.L.A. in 1993. That was a fantastic concert. This picture shows the sun shining, but it had rained all morning, a kind of drizzle, so there wasn't a very large audience. In fact there were probably more people backstage -- there were about a hundred folk performers backstage and it was like old home week. There were people who hadn't seen each other in 20, 30 years. Odetta was there, saying hi to Arlo Guthrie, and Joni Mitchell and Ramblin' Jack Elliott, and The Kingston Trio, and Spinal Tap as "The Folksmen." Just everybody you could think of in the folk thing, you know. I remember Roger McGuinn was there meeting his biggest hero, Bob Gibson, who died soon after that. All these people just got to schmooze and hang out; it was one of the greatest times for lots of musicians to get together. So it was a wonderful concert; I don't know what to say about that picture in particular. Roger McGuinn is the folk musician and Tom Petty was there as a guest, and he came onstage and backed Roger on a couple of tunes.

Tom Petty's "Free Falling"
Thomas and I only heard this song for the first time a couple weeks ago, a fact that is seriously disturbing to our friends. Alas, this was apparently one of the casualties of growing up in Vermont in the '80s with no TV and only NPR playing on any radio...Anyway, it's an amazing song, isn't it! And I just noticed that, as well as only having two chords, it also only uses the bottom three notes of the major scale - in the lower octave during the verses, then up to the higher octave for the chorus. GENIUS.


Оффтопик:
Doveman, кстати, недавно выпустили дебютный альбом Acrobat (хороший). Питчфорк, например, поставил ему 8 баллов.
Одну из лучших песен группы - Dancing - можно послушать здесь

Tom Petty To Receive Billboard's Century Award



By Melinda Newman, L.A.



Tom Petty presented the inaugural Billboard Century Award in 1992 to George Harrison. Now it is Petty's turn to receive the honor.

The Century Award, Billboard's highest honor for creative achievement, will be presented to Petty Dec. 6 during the Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. The awards will be telecast live on Fox.
"Tom Petty is one of the true great singer/songwriters," Billboard co-executive editor Tamara Conniff says. "Petty's songs and lyrics go to the root of the American dream. For over 30 years, Petty has been a rock icon who continues to inspire new generations of artists. We are honored to present him with the 2005 Century Award."

At 54, Petty shows no signs of slowing down. With his longtime band, the Heartbreakers, Petty just completed a North American tour, drawing more than 550,000 fans to the 36 shows reported to Billboard Boxscore.

"This award comes at a particularly nice time as the Heartbreakers and I go into the 30th year of our career," Petty says. "I'm very honored that Billboard has acknowledged me with this award."

Petty is wrapping up his third solo album, "Highway Companion," due in the spring. While sources say he has been in discussions with Sanctuary Records, there is no official word on a new label home. He has previously recorded for Shelter, Backstreet/MCA and Warner Bros.

In the meantime, Petty has four songs in Cameron Crowe's new movie, "Elizabethtown," and on the accompanying soundtrack, which came out Sept. 13 via RCA.

Influenced by '50s rock and the British bands of the '60s, Petty and the Heartbreakers crafted their own brand of rock'n'roll, generating such hits as "American Girl," "Breakdown," "Don't Do Me Like That," "Refugee," "The Waiting," "You Got Lucky" and "Don't Come Around Here No More."

All told, the Heartbreakers' albums have sold more than 50 million copies worldwide, including their top-selling "Greatest Hits," which has been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America for U.S. shipments of more than 10 million units. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

Petty, a four-time Grammy Award winner, has interspersed Heartbreakers projects with two well-received solo releases and a pair of albums with supergroup the Traveling Wilburys, which included his musical heroes Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne.

The Century Award was created by the late Billboard editor in chief Timothy White and former publisher Howard Lander. In addition to Harrison, it has been presented to Buddy Guy, Billy Joel, Joni Mitchell, Carlos Santana, Chet Atkins, James Taylor, Emmylou Harris, Randy Newman, John Mellencamp, Annie Lennox, Sting and Stevie Wonder.

Так что, новый альбом будет называться Highway Companion?

Да, судя по всему. Только вот то, что он весноой выйдет - как-то не радует. Еще столько ждать.
