8 TOM PETTY An American Treasure

Released a year after Tom Petty’s unexpected death in October, 2017, An American Treasure proved to be the perfect epitaph for this beloved musician. Stretching to 63 tracks, this set dug into Petty’s capacious archive, truffling out rarities, outtakes, live and alternate versions showcasing the depth and enduring quality of Petty’s songwriting from 1976’s unreleased “Surrender” to an unheard cut of the poignant “Sins Of My Youth” from the Heartbreakers’ final studio album, Hypnotic Eye.
