Tom Petty Never Abandoned His Values, Or His Band, Over a Remarkable Career (UCR)




The late Tom Petty‘s first group was a bust. Well, sort of.

The son of a Florida insurance salesman, Petty quit high school to start Mudcrutch at age 17 with Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. The three of them – later rechristened with new members as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – ended up as rock and roll legends anyway, selling millions and millions of albums.

On the turntable this Sunday...Burnin'



Burnin' is a reggae album by The Wailers, released in 1973. The sixth album by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer (the last before Tosh and Bunny departed for solo careers and the band became known as Bob Marley and the Wailers), Burnin' opens with a signature song, the call to action "Get Up, Stand Up" and includes a more confrontational and militant tone than previous records, such as in another Marley standard turned into a number one hit by Eric Clapton, "I Shot the Sheriff". The songs "Duppy Conqueror", "Small Axe", "Put It On" and "Pass It On" are re-recordings of songs previously released.
