Tom Petty was one of the greatest songwriters in rock n roll history, as well as a standard bearer for integrity in the music business. This expanded edition of the first authorized book on Tom Petty, and the only one in his own words, includes additional interviews, articles and reviews.
Trusted to conduct a series of in-depth interviews with a special focus on songwriting, Paul Zollo met with Tom for more than a year of Saturdays to compile this rich collection of conversations. Featuring a foreword and photo captions written by Tom himself, Conversations With Tom Petty is a must-read for all who admire the man behind some of the most memorable rock anthems of a generation.
‘The big strength of this oral approach is that its intimacy enables us to feel closer to Petty, the way his mind thinks and his generosity of spirit’ Long Live Vinyl
