Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers – The Artist

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were an American rock band formed in Gainesville, Florida, in 1976. The band originally comprised lead singer and rhythm guitarist Tom Petty, lead guitarist Mike Campbell, keyboardist Benmont Tench, drummer Stan Lynch and bassist Ron Blair. In 1982, Blair, weary of the touring lifestyle, departed the band. His replacement, Howie Epstein, remained with the band for the next two decades. In 1991, Scott Thurston joined the band as a multi-instrumentalist, primarily on rhythm guitar and secondary keyboard. In 1994, Steve Ferrone replaced Lynch on drums. Blair returned to the Heartbreakers in 2002, the year before Epstein’s death. The band had a long string of hit singles, including “Breakdown”, “American Girl” (both 1976), “Refugee” (1979), “The Waiting” (1981), “Learning to Fly” (1991), and “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” (1993), among many others, that stretched over several decades of work.

Anything That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll – The Song

‘Anything That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll‘   is the second UK single from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ 1976 self-titled debut album. It was their first UK hit, peaking at #36 the week ending July 2, 1977. It was not released as a single in the United States.

The Broken Heart – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a silhouette of a broken heart as on the bands logo. The heart shape and its meaning has evolved over hundreds of years. Nowadays it means love but before the 13th and 14th centuries it was generally drawn for decorative purposes. People at that time thought of our hearts as books of memory and believed feelings for the beloved were somehow written on your heart.
