I wanted to say a quick (well, not that quick!) goodbye to 2024 before kicking off the new year and figured I’d follow the lead of a great many music podcasters by telling you about some of the albums that I discovered this year that I’ve been enjoying a lot! I own 7 of the 8 on vinyl and have a very close relationship the one I don’t through slightly unusual circumstances. I hope you enjoy this brief sojourn into non-Petty territory!

The albums I’m talking about are:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers : Long After Dark (Deluxe Edition)

Metallica : Master of Puppets

Sturgill Simpson : Cuttin’ Grass (Volume One)

Bjork : Homogenic

Van Halen – Van Halen III

Green Lung : This Heathen Land

The Black Crowes : Happiness Bastards

Mark Knopfler : One Deep River

A last very special thanks to Paul Zollo. Without his book, “Conversations with Tom Petty”, this podcast wouldn’t be nearly as much fun to research. And further thanks to Warren Zanes for his outstanding book “Petty, the Biography”.
