#Tom petty album covers manual
This co-write between Petty and Campbell was inspired by the lead guitarist’s motorcycle like the Beach Boys on “ Little Honda,” Campbell wanted to write a rock song that continually upshifts like a manual transmission. “I thought it wasn’t that good because it was so naked.” But, as always, he stood his ground. These tribulations led to “I Won’t Back Down,” a clear-eyed song of resilience its bracing simplicity made Petty second-guess its value.
Eleven days after the decision, an unknown assailant burned his home to the ground. Goodrich, a tire company that ripped off his song “ Mary’s New Car” in a TV ad.

Listen closely, and you can hear George Harrison and Roy Orbison singing backing vocals on “I Won’t Back Down” and “Zombie Zoo,” respectively. One year before Fever, the tongue-in-cheek supergroup released its first album, Traveling Wilburys Vol. “We were supposed to make a Heartbreakers record.”īandmate drama aside, the sessions foreshadowed a new union: the Traveling Wilburys. “I was pissed off and hurt,” he told Rolling Stone. Guitarist Mike Campbell stepped up as his sidekick and co-wrote “Love Is a Long Road” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream” keyboardist Benmont Tench, though credited on “The Apartment Song,” felt burned.

After the tour for 1987’s Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough), the band was scattered around the country - and Petty was on-edge and paranoid from an arson on his home in May 1987. Petty was deep into stardom with the Heartbreakers, but by 1989, what looked like a holistic gang was disrupted.
