Podcast appearances and mentions of Warren Zanes

Specifics create dynamics. I love this idea.I watched Ethan Hawke talking about this in regards to acting and pretty much immediately thought, “The same applies to lyrics!” and figured that, as I have a podcast, I should figure out some thoughts on the topic! So what I want to do is go through a few examples again of times that this type of specificity crops up in Tom's lyrics where perhaps it isn't even needed, but improves the song so much.Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

“There's rain on the road And the faithful have gone. In a crowd all alone, Walking 'round in a song”. It's a great little snapshot or vignette, as Tom so often gives us, of perhaps a wedding or some other celebration at a small roadside church. That feeling of being alone in a crowd is beautifully phrased by changing the order of the words; rather than All alone in a crowd, “in a crowd all alone” feels more poetic and more deliberately focusing on the alone part rather than the crowd part. And, we have to tip our hat to Dana Petty of course here! Tom tells Paul Zollo “Dana actually helped me with two lines in that song. I was kind of stuck. It's not something I would ordinarily do, but I said, “Hey, what would you put here? What would you say?” he then says “In a crowd all alone/Walking round in a song. That was hers”.Song : https://youtu.be/DZa8wc2uoowADDITIONAL LINKSJudge Timbers' tutorial: https://youtu.be/2ld4U8pvr3A Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Night Driver is one of those perfect album tracks that you always want to hear on great records. There's something to be said for albums where any song could basically be a single, but I tend to gravitate more towards albums that are very carefully curated around a central idea and Highway Companion is definitely one of those. This track sits on the second half of the record, coming after the euphoric Big Weekend, as a mood piece and a moment in time for the central character on the album. It's a wonderfully restrained and melodically comfortable song!Song : https://youtu.be/7Fni5y-8wqo REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEJudge Timbers' tutorial: https://youtu.be/y-dKJ8bIUGY Jake Thistle Fans Forever : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DQkHfK9mz/Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

The first verse contains one of my all time favourite lyrics. Not just one of my very favourite Tom Petty lyrics, just one of my favourite lyrics full stop. And it's not a superb piece of word play or a huge emotionally charge line. It's not a cuttingly brilliant philosophically brilliant observation - we get that later in the song - nor is it a playfully subversive line. It's this line; “They live in a brick house, painted white and brown.” And specifically the last half of the line; “Painted white and brown.” I know that line probably doesn't set off the fireworks of your imagination like it does mine, but I know there are others that do the same for you and not for me. One of the most glorious things about this podcast for me is discovering those little sideroads of imagination that you guys share with me from time to time!Song : https://youtu.be/xBZr5nq0Yd0REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEDemo : https://youtu.be/kQRsDAVy3lU Judge Timbers : https://youtu.be/MKAeM8Cc1o8 Anything That's Rock n Roll (Old Grey Whistle Test) : https://youtu.be/qJMgWiqoLn4 Anything That's Rock n Roll (Top of the Pops) : https://youtu.be/y0mYRnPXs2U Jake Thistle Fans Forever : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DQkHfK9mz/Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

“Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night, Rockin' pretty steady 'til the sky went light And didn't go to bed, Didn't go to work. I picked up the telephone, Told the boss he was a jerk”. Come on. You don't find better rock n roll lyrics than those. They come from a guy who's done the time. Worked crummy jobs, worked crummy bars playing to uninteresting punters who want to see the strippers. He's lived this life and the way he's singing about it, it's real. Sure, it's also a pastiche at the same time, but it's one rooted in reality for him. It's Chuck Berry with more distortion. It's Buddy Holly with even more swagger. It's a song that Elvis couldn't have ever sung because he was too pretty - but a 26 year old Tom Petty with a chip on his shoulder right next to his guitar strap, challenging the audience and jack-in-a-boxing his way around the stage? Well it just works doesn't it! Mike Campbell's simple rockabilly solo just steps all that pent up energy and ambition and fires it all upwards into the night sky, letting it rain down sonically on you. It's all about the attitude and it's all about the hedonistic intent.Song : https://youtu.be/diFd917grI8REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEAnything That's Rock n Roll (Live in Boston, '78): https://youtu.be/kR8LMqn8_68Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Joe Pernice is here to discuss his excellent new album, Sunny, I Was Wrong, living in frigid Canada as a well-informed American, his obsession with bicycles and riding bikes, his close friendship with music writer Warren Zanes who penned lovely liner notes for this new record, being a dad and coaching baseball with some encouragement from Buck 65, writing music again after a substantial break and from a very honest, reflective perspective, why he chose to release a record under his own name, the killer studio band he assembled featuring Jim Creeggan, Mike Belitsky, and Mike Evin, bringing in very special guests like Aimee Mann, Norman Blake of Teenage Fanclub, Rodney Crowell, and Jimmy Webb, what will become of the large number of unreleased songs he wrote and recorded towards this album, upcoming shows, other future plans, and much more.EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.

In my mind's eye, I see a younger couple, maybe mid to late twenties, driving an old cadillac along a dark desert highway... A kid, about 7 or 8 years is in the back seat having a bad dream: not exactly a nightmare but one of those dreams that feels you feeling really unsettled for the rest of the day once you wake up and you can't quite remember it only, the feeling it's left you with. The verses are the phases of the dream in which unseen forces threaten to harm the kid. The choruses are their internal monologue, reaching out to mom and dad and telling them to turn the car around, reverse course, go back to safety.

Jack is a peculiar song. It doesn't have a typical structure and it's much more a mood piece. As I said, I sort of consider this one to be a chance encounter on the Highway Tom is taking us down. We don't spend any quality time with this character but we're left with a slightly gnawing, maybe slightly uneasy feeling about bumping into him. He's gonna get his baby back and we're not really sure whether she wants to be got!Song : https://youtu.be/j60LIOgHbtYREFERENCED IN THE EPISODEJudge Timbers' cover and guitar lesson: https://youtu.be/LdiGGLYIsx4Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Every now and then I try to think about my top ten Tom Petty deep cuts. There are so many that I love and that I've discovered, rediscovered, or come to appreciate so much more as I've been on this podcast journey, but Down South is at the very top table for me in that regard. Going down south for the first time to the Tom Petty Weekend last year made this song resonate doubly with me. Not only does it tap into that connection I have with going home myself, but heading to Gainesville and feeling the bones of the place, I feel this song in a very different way. I can see the song now as well as hear it.Song : https://youtu.be/sQwvkeHGSH4REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEJudge Timbers' guitar lesson: https://youtu.be/AKnyC2PhTcADon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

“You're flirting with time”, Tom sings. And I like that idea of not fully committing to time, just flirting with it. That's definitely how life feels when you're in your twenties and thirties. You don't really have to enter into a serious relationship with time because there's so much of it still ahead. You can mess around on it and you know it will always be there when you get home. There's an implicit transience to that title line that I absolutely love.Song : https://youtu.be/DSt4jArJo7M REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEJudge Timbers: https://youtu.be/s4fHgamxWXk Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcasting Network: https://bonelesspodcasting.comAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Saving Grace is the work of a middle-aged man who fully knows himself and knows how to articulate the past and the present in three very vivid dimensions. Critical to retaining the song's pathos though, Tom doesn't project a future down this new path. It's important that Square One is here and now. It's important that being present in a moment and recognizing that every day and every minute is a chance for rebirth and reinvention is unconstrained by a prescribed destination. It's the ultimate expression of freedom.Song : https://youtu.be/Ux-RDvSHcI0REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEJudge Timbers: https://youtu.be/dTiYuYykaMkJake Thistle on American Idol : https://youtu.be/EVUI_FYlScMDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

“You keep running for another place To find that saving grace” probably doesn't hit in the same place for most Pettyheads as “Most things I worry about never happen anyway” but I think there's a comparable profundity to it. That search for spiritual, or social, or emotional redemption is a journey and one that can often feel just out of reach and unattainable, but you run on anyway. Maybe it isn't given equal billing with the sensational line in Crawling Back to You because this song is more of an uptempo rocker rather than a baleful mid tempo ballad. Either way, it's another excellent line that examines the human condition without either prescribing a remedy or casting any judgement.Song : https://youtu.be/vPYFWnzjIy0 REFERENCED IN THE EPISODEJudge Timbers: https://youtu.be/RVFSiRUAkys Jack McNey - Turn this Car Around : https://youtu.be/SGhvLR6dCiw Honest and Unmerciful Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/ysz3cd2d Boogie Chillen : https://youtu.be/w512YXe75mgDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Host Jesse Jackson welcomes Lou and Karen for a JKL Media tie-in discussion of the 2025 film "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere," directed by Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes' book about the making of Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska." They praise Jeremy Allen White's performance as Springsteen and Jeremy Strong's portrayal of manager Jon Landau, but debate who the movie is meant for—hardcore fans versus casual viewers—given its quiet focus on depression, trauma, and the Nebraska era rather than the E Street Band or the more widely known "Born in the U.S.A." period. Lou, less familiar with "Nebraska," finds the film surface-level, criticizing thin characterization (including Springsteen's father, played by Stephen Graham), a cutaway from a key therapy scene, minimal exploration of individual songs, and the E Street Band's near-silent portrayal. Karen also notes the story can feel generic without deeper Springsteen context, wishes the film emphasized Springsteen's mother and band dynamics more, and argues the romantic subplot involving the composite character “Faye” feels unnecessary. Jesse provides background on how the project came to be, shares lore and real-life parallels (including Springsteen's first psychiatrist visit and a later conversation with his father), and agrees the movie is a mixed bag that likely lands best for viewers who know the book and backstory. 00:00 Welcome + Why This Springsteen Movie Feels Like a Question Mark 01:42 First Reactions: Performances, Expectations, and ‘Who Is This For?' 03:13 How the Film Got Made: Warren Zanes, Scott Cooper, and Bruce Saying Yes 04:29 Nebraska vs. Born in the U.S.A.: The Era Casual Fans Don't Know 06:13 Book vs. Movie + The Film's Quiet, Depression-Focused Tone 08:36 The ‘Love Story' Angle: Bruce & Manager Jon Landau 12:43 Lou's Critique: Transactional Scenes and Dodging the Therapy Breakthrough 15:17 Bruce's Father (Stephen Graham) + Missing Depth and Backstory 17:11 Where's the E Street Band?

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere (2025) Review — Who Is This Movie For?

There's a languidity that floats through a lot of this record; Square One, Night Driver, Turn this Car Around, This Old Down, and The Golden Rose... These are songs to cruise to. They're songs to be chewed on and savoured rather than hastily gulped down. You can feel the evening sun warming your skin as you drive, with the top down, listening to this album before arriving at a house in the woods, where you the songs become much more a cellar aged cognac in front of the fire than they are a light beer on the patio. There's a depth and colour to the album overall that ties the whole together sonically rather than thematically.Check out the "Eat the Pudding" Podcast here!

The wonderful John Paulsen is back to talk all things Last DJ! John actually saw one of the two dates at the Olympic, so I get to ask him about that, we dive into the potential reasons why we've never had any previously unreleased tracks surface from this album (including the mysterious Maggie song!), and why half a concept album might not have landed with a wider listening audience. As always, this was an incredibly enjoyable chat and I hope you dig it as much as I did!Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.If you want to find John, you can catch him over on Bluesky at: https://bsky.app/profile/4for4-john.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/tompettyproject.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thetompettyprojectAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Everything about this song appeals to me. The soft-loud dynamic of the verse and chorus, coupled with the 4/4 3/4 switch from verse to chorus, along with the minor to major switch. It's just perfectly internally oppositional. The bridge is one of my very favourites that we have in the entire catalogue with that swinging half funk groove and that outro is just absolutely fire. Can't Stop the Sun brings in all the conflict and anger that Tom has projected through parts of this album and turns it against itself by becoming a final statement of resolve and indestructible self-reliance. It's a perfect end to a perfect album.

The Del Fuegos brought their signature Boston rock swagger to Outpost in the Burbs this past December, one of only a handful of reunion dates the band is doing. Fronted by brothers Dan and Warren Zanes, the band helped define a roots-inflected alternative sound in the '80s with four beloved albums. Before the show, we sat down with the Zanes brothers to talk about their musical journeys, the band's legacy, and their own family connections that run through it all. Plus: a powerful live performance of "I Still Want You" captured at the concert.

It's that time of year for me to look back at what I was listening to in the past twelve months and give you some recommendations! I've listened to a ton of music in the past year, plenty of which was new to me. Gainesville exposed me to a ton of new indie artists, some of whom I've had the good fortune to speak to. I did decide to limit this to only vinyl albums I bought this year, rather than being albums that were released this year. Also, I should call out the Live Anthology RSD release which I picked up but, I'll most likely be talking about that record as part of a review of the Live Anthology somewhere down the road, so I haven't included it in this year's list! Plus, you already know it!Albums included in this episode:Chris Rea - AubergeVangelis - 1492 - Conquest of ParadiseLady Gaga - MayhemSt Vincent - All Born ScreamingClutch - Sunrise on Slaughter BeachMargo Price - Hard Headed WomanJarvis Cocker - Further ComplicationsDream Theatre - Metropolis Pt 2.

Steve Ursell is back to run through my ten questions and give me his thoughts on his favourite album, which version of Walls he prefers, and which song he'd want to cover with the Heartbreakers. Steve picks a fantastic British artist to cover a Tom Petty song, he picks a great gig to want to go back to see, and a certain autobiography may have coloured his choice for favourite Heartbreaker, other than Tom.

This week, before we wrap up the last song from The Last DJ, I'm sharing a conversation that I had with an English gent that I met through my Queen podcast and someone I've gotten to know a little over the last two or three years named Steve Ursell. Steve has kinda been discovering Tom's catalogue in real time through this podcast, so I thought it would be really interesting to talk to someone who wasn't a Pettyhead three years ago but has come to love the Heartbreakers in a fairly short space of time. So, we get into that journey into Petty and how the podcast has played a part in that discovery. We chat about Pink Floyd, Rush, and Queen, and we ruminate on the decline of tastemakers in the world of rock and roll, and on whether we're ever going to see a grunge or Britpop–style movement again in the years to come: especially with the decline of free-form radio and the rise of the all-powerful algorithm.

Robin Vincent is back to give me her answers to my ten questions. You wouldn't necessarily think that World of Warcraft would play a significant role in defining Robin's favourite album, she drops a bombshell on me about a couple of singers she just doesn't jive with and her answer to my question about which song she'd join Tom and the boys on stage for is perhaps the best answer anyone's given yet to any question I've asked! Oh and Robin divulges a daring escapade which brought her in direct contact with one of Mike's Telecasters.Robin Shakedown links:Floor Goddess EP at Bandcamp : https://robinshakedown.bandcamp.com/album/floor-goddessRobin Shakedown on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/robin.shakedown/Shadows and Sun (Music Video) : https://youtu.be/-DQhRQRsvzMNote: There is some very infrequent profanity in this episode.Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Today's bonus episode is a fantastic chat with another artist I was very fortunate to see perform down at the Tom Petty Weekend in Gainesville. Robin Vincent, whose band, Robin Shakedown was one of the most vibrant, energetic and very very cool acts from the weekend. I had to reach out to see if she'd be willing to talk to me about her love for Tom and his music and subsequently, found and fell in love with her latest EP, Floor Goddess, which is an epic roller coaster of melody, hooks, emotion, and righteous anger. We talk about Robin's foundational love of Tom's music, how she constructs her setlists, and the way her band came together for the Tom Petty Weekend. I give Robin my interpretation of how she holds her guitar vs how Shine holds hers and we talk about identity and the pressure of having to play the game to fit in. Finally, we go deep into Floor Goddess; where the songs come from, where Robin drew her inspiration from and how she built the feel and sonic palate for the record.Song and links mentioned in the episode:Floor Goddess EP at Bandcamp : https://robinshakedown.bandcamp.com/album/floor-goddessRobin Shakedown on Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/robin.shakedown/Shadows and Sun (Music Video) : https://youtu.be/-DQhRQRsvzMNote: There is some very infrequent profanity in this episode.Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

The DJ comes back and the ditch he's digging, to keep the flames from the temple, are the songs and the culture he's trying to build around his freeform station to stop outside corporate influence from burning down his integrity and his artistic vision, which are his temple.

Ten questions, ten answers. Matt Burke is back to let me know which artists he'd most like to see open for Tom and the Heartbreakers and he throws a little love Joe Walsh's way while he's at it! His cover song is an interesting choice and he wonders if subconsciously he picked it because it's already happened and we sign off with three VERY good words to describe Tom Petty!Don't forget to check out the new Voyager Golden EP from Have Gun, Will Travel and follow Matt and the boys all over social media!

Today's episode is a part of my artist conversation series and is a wonderful chat I had with songwriter for and lead singer of Have Gun, Will Travel. For those of you who were down in Gainesville for the Tom Petty Weekend, you probably say Matt and the guys play their killer set on Sunday afternoon. This one ranges all over the map. We do discuss Tom Petty's influence on Matt's songwriting, but we also talk about the band's fantastic new Voyager Golden EP! We also head into all sorts of interesting side roads leading to Ennio Morricone, Davids Bowie and Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Carl Sagan, and even Ernest Shackleton!

In last week's outro I'd intimated that I hear a strong resemblance between this song and another favourite band of mine, The Kinks. So first of all, just sonically, if it walks like The Kinks and kinda quacks like The Kinks… it's most likely inspired by The Kinks. That super cool key change into that second bridge section owes absolutely as much to the type of sharp left turns that Ray Davies would often write into his songs as it does the Sgt Pepper nod that I gave the song. Growing up in England, there's a nostalgic end-of-the-pier quality to this song that Ray and The Kinks were unparalleled at evoking in a contemporary way.Song and links:You and Me : https://youtu.be/TtETKaTpMg4Tom with George Drakoulias : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOtLeEfDlli/Rock Court (I am the presiding "Judge"!) : https://shows.acast.com/rock-courtFollow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

Sam Krishnan is back to answer my ten questions! He gives me his "boring answer" (his words!) to the question "Who is your favourite Heartbreaker other than Tom?" and then gives me his deep cut answer. He also surprised me with his answer to which artist he'd like to see cover a Tom Petty song. We chat about Into the Great Wide Open and the production on that album and we basically just fanboy all over Tom, as is our wont!

Today's episode is another bonus artist conversation that I had with a young French songwriter who's currently based in England, performing under the name “Bye Lily”. Sam Krishnan started out thinking he was probably going to become a rapper, but through a circuitous route, that we discuss, found his way around to Tom Petty, the guitar, and a very contemporary spin on indie folk music. Sam's debut EP, Voicenotes, features a tribute song to Tom which includes a blazing guitar solo from Jake Thistle. We chatted for a good couple of hours and the first part of this conversation is what you'll be listening to today and as always, I've split out his answers to my ten questions which will drop tomorrow!Song and links mentioned in the episode:My Hero : https://youtu.be/TeFCs0gy3KEVoicenotes EP : https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mdsxl9PR7h0oBcEB_wRJbLDa_5j3s8XmMBuy the EP at Bandcamp : https://byelily.bandcamp.com/album/voicenotesFollow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

You and Me is another “Little song”, if we use Ivan Anderson's brilliant concept of what that means. It doesn't shoot for the moon, doesn't explore nuanced or clever or grand themes. It's a singular expression of companionship and love with a healthy dose of insecurity to humanize it. It's a simple arrangement with some beautiful piano work and a very cool bass part that moves around that brisk backbeat in a lively fashion.Song and links:You and Me : https://youtu.be/RrdKLxtw2Fo=38 Years Old (The Tragically Hip) : https://youtu.be/ICHPKx6KJSMI Want You (Bob Dylan) : https://youtu.be/-iIS6ZZ9RVASchool of Hip : https://shows.acast.com/school-of-hipFollow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

This special bonus episode of the podcast is a conversation I had with the wonderful Brian Ruskin of the Honest and Unmerciful Record Review Podcast. As well as co-hosting one of my favourite shows, Brian is a prolific musician who has released over a dozen albums of his own material. We're taking a sylistic detour today however as we plunge headlong into the world of electronic music, loops, samples, heavily processed guitars, and found sounds! But don't worry, we have a fantastic guide!We talk about how discovering his music unlocked a part of my musical brain I didn't even know existed and Brian was absolutely brilliant in articulating his creative process and his background in getting to this stage in his creative life.Song and links relevant to the episode:Mental Heatlh Consumer @ Bandcamp: https://mentalhealthconsumer.bandcamp.com/The new album The Echoes I Sent: https://mentalhealthconsumer.bandcamp.com/album/the-echoes-i-sentLinkhub for links to streaming platforms and press: https://music.imusician.pro/a/xDnwUJqNLabel: EC Underground: https://ecunderground.bandcamp.com/Far Above the World Tonight: https://mentalhealthconsumer.bandcamp.com/album/far-above-the-world-tonightHonest and Unmerciful Record Review Podcast: https://honest-unmerciful-record-review.podbean.com/Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

From the horse capital of the world to the main stage in Gainesville!This week's episode is a fantastic freewheeling chat that I had with the inimitable Shine, who I had the privilege of seeing perform at the Tom Petty Weekend and the greater pleasure spending an hour and change getting to know over Zoom. Like all the true originals, Shine has a way of expressing herself that imprints on you. She'll make you laugh (we talk about that!) and can make you cry with both her voice and with her intimate relationship with her guitar. But most of all, she'll make you sit forward in your seat and pay attention! We talk about growing up with Gospel and Bob Marley, competing in band competitions, and formal training vs just putting in the hours! We also discuss not overanalyzing what you're doing and being really present in the moment. I hope this comes across in our conversation because this just felt like a chat between two old friends and it was so much fun!Song and links mentioned in the episode:Shine's Insta : https://www.instagram.com/shineandtheshakers/On Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/ShineandtheShakersWoman's Plight : https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRNRn4ej4Bc/Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

For an hour or so, with the sun starting to make it's way to the basement to sleep, we drove in relative silence. Zoey's mood seemed to darken with the sky. Or that's the way it felt. I asked if there was anything wrong, she said, "Nothin' worth talkin' 'bout".And that's how it was for a while. A blue Sunday, Down the interstate. Blue, with shades of grey, and orange as the light began to fade. After a while, she turned to me and with a serious expression and asked me “You ever found it funny Jack,how a crowd gathers around anyone living life without a net?” Then she let go of the steering wheel and closed her eyes. That was the day I met Zoey. There's a lot more to tell, but I'll save that for another time.Song and links mentioned in the episode:Song : https://youtu.be/jUUpkMNU3_4 Jake Thistle live stream : https://youtu.be/pTIWCDHC1BY?t=313 Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

In a 2006 Rolling Stone interview, Tom credits Ron Blair's return as being pivotal for the band saying, “The band has a good family atmosphere that wasn't there for a while. It came back about a year or two ago. I think when Ron Blair returned, it really bonded us back together in a weird way. If he hadn't been there, I am sure it would have been the end of the whole thing when Howie died. Ron stepped in and had this huge enthusiasm through the whole thing.” He goes on to say “When he first quit, he didn't quit the band, he quit the whole music thing. He was fed up. But we were all young boys then. When he got interested in music again, he started playing with Mike quite a bit, and so he was just there when we needed a bass player for the last two tracks we did for The Last DJ.”Song and links mentioned in the episode:Song : https://youtu.be/7VfxdQMfP0gLive at the Olympic : https://youtu.be/yLl2_JIlKps?t=1947The Blue Stingrays - Surf n Burn : https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kAnAc1Opi44iPchcIFZKjyN5lw_i8rR1gFollow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectBluesky: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

I've always really liked this song as part of the album but never really listened to it closely until sitting down to write this episode. And that has happened a lot over the course of the last four and a bit years of recording this show. Songs you don't necessarily expect to reveal hidden depths do so with startling regularity. Does this song have a line the equal of “Most things I worry about never happen anyway”? No, probably not. Does it have a dramatic weight to it in the vein of It's Good to be King”? I wouldn't necessarily say so. But does it hold it's own as an imperiously patient, superbly constructed gem hidden in the middle of an album that most people forgot about? Absolutely it does!NOTE: There is one instance of profanity in this episode as part of a direct quote.Song and links mentioned in the episode: Song : https://youtu.be/PtcKlCnC6WM Judge Timbers : https://youtu.be/l5IzFDVskL4 Jon Scott - Tom Petty and Me : https://tompettyandme.com School of Hip : https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61579698875642Follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyprojectYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetompettyprojectBoneless Podcast Network : https://boneless-catalogue-player.lovable.appThe theme song is provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.

I'm joined today by good pal Pete Nester. We're officially ACTUAL friends now, not just Facebook friends, because we've hung out, broken bread together, stood in a crowd and sung our hearts out, and hugged! I thought it would be fun to recap the weekend with Pete to get his thoughts as well as mine. Also included in the episode are chats I had with Maggie Clifford and Jeff Slate. I did chat to Shine and to Jake also, but due to technical difficulties, I couldn't use those recordings! But, I'm lining up a plethora of conversations for the coming weeks with artists who performed at the Tom Petty Weekend! I already miss Gainesville and can't wait to come back next year!
