Includes Praise For the New York Times Bestseller, Petty; List of Other Books by Warren Zanes; Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Index and About the Author. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates. Rare First Martin's Griffin Edition, First Printing. "An exhilarating and intimate account of the life of music legend Tom Petty. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shitkicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise. From meeting Elvis, to seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, to producing Del Shannon; backing Bob Dylan; putting together a band with George Harrison, Dylan, Roy Orbison, and Jeff Lynne; making records with Johnny Cash; and sending well more than a dozen of his own celebrated recordings high onto the charts, Tom Petty's story has all the drama of a rock and roll epic. Now in his mid-sixties, still making records and still touring, Petty, known for his reclusive style, has shared with Warren Zanes, rocker, writer, and friend, his insights and arguments, his regrets and lasting ambitions, and the details of his life on and off the stage." - from the rear outer cover. "Imagine a long ride on the tour bus with Tom and the Heartbreakers where everyhone was feeling loose enough to tell all their stories. What a historic night that would be. This book is that." - Eddie Vedder. "This fascinating biography of Tom Petty was written by someone who deeply understands the rock'n'roll life and the creative personalities it takes to create this classic music. I wish Warren Zanes could write a biography about everyone I admire." - Judd Apatow. "Warren Zane's writing is definitive and thrilling, filled with hidden corners and inspiring truths .as soaring and soulful as the great journey of Petty himself." - Cameron Crowe. "Breathtakingly graceful .electrifying." - The Boston Globe. "Exceptional .loaded with compelling characters." - Salon. "It's a great piece of writing by any measure, but as far as rock bios go, this is tops." - Consequence of Sound. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 007873
