Into The Great Wide Open: ‘An American Treasure’ Collects Unreleased Tom Petty Tracks

July 10, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 10 Comments

Tom Petty’s unexpected passing last October at the age of 66 was cause for reflection on the tenacious and passionate artist’s lifetime of thrilling and quintessentially American rock-and-roll music. There was no doubt that Petty’s electric brand of soulful rock would live on, but fans were naturally hungry for more. He had discussed a possible Wildflowers deluxe edition in the past, but that never materialized.

In Memoriam: Tom Petty (1950-2017)

October 3, 2017 by Joe Marchese | 5 Comments

UPDATE 10/3/17, 12:15 AM: After a day of conflicting information, Tom Petty’s passing was indeed confirmed just after midnight Tuesday. Here, Joe and Mike share some thoughts on the man and his music. When Tom Petty burst onto the scene with his band The Heartbreakers in 1976, American audiences initially didn’t know what to make of him.

Call Him The Breeze: Clapton and Friends Celebrate Music of J.J. Cale On New Album, Exclusive Box Set

July 18, 2014 by Joe Marchese | No Comments

In 2006, Eric Clapton teamed with singer-songwriter J.J. Cale for the collaborative album The Road to Escondido. The guitar god had long been a fan and patron of Cale’s; he included “After Midnight” on his 1970 solo debut and took “Cocaine” to the Top 30 in 1977. Escondido earned both men a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album, and it would prove to be among Cale’s final recordings. He released the album Roll On in 2009, featuring Clapton on its title track. Then, in 2013, Cale passed away at the age of…
