История

Том Петти (Tom Petty, род. 20 октября 1950 г.) — американский рок-музыкант, который придерживается традиционного альбомного рока конца 1960-х в пику заполонившим коммерческие радиостанции современным направлениям (металл, прогрессивный рок, пост-гранж и т. д.)

Петти и его группа The Heartbreakers появились на горизонте американской рок-музыки в 1976 году, когда был выпущен одноимённый альбом. Первый успех музыкант познал в Великобритании, где критики несколько близоруко причислили его к «новой волне», тогда как сам Петти настаивал на том, что его творчество является логическим продолжением наследия The Byrds и The Rolling Stones.

Третий альбом его группы, «Damn the Torpedoes» (1979), дошёл до 2-го места в США, а в 1981 г. в продажу поступил очень успешный дуэт Петти со Стиви Никс из Fleetwood Mac — «Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around». Музыкальные критики сравнивали Петти то с Бобом Диланом, то с Нилом Янгом, то с Брюсом Спрингстином. Однако совсем уж консерватором Петти считать нельзя: например, одним из первых рокеров он стал снимать музыкальные клипы на все свои синглы.

В 1987 г. Петти записал несколько треков вместе со своим кумиром Бобом Диланом, а в следующем году они создали супергруппу Traveling Wilburys, к участию в которой были также привлечены Джордж Харрисон, Рой Орбисон и Джефф Линн. В 1989 г. при поддержке The Heartbreakers Петти выпустил первый сольный альбом — «Full Moon Fever» (3-е место в Billboard 200), главным хитом с которого стала песня «Free Fallin’» (7-е место в Billboard Hot 100).
Одним из самых ярких и запоминающихся клипов Тома Петти стал клип The Last Dance of Mary Jane,где снялась знаменитая актриса Ким Бессингер. Действие начинается в морге…
В 1990-е гг. Петти работал с модным продюсером Риком Рубином. Второй сольный альбом, «Wildflowers», вышел в 1994 году, третий («Highway Companion») — 12 лет спустя. Все они пользовались достаточно солидным успехом. В последнее время Петти известен своей критикой американского шоу-бизнеса. Причину кризиса рок-музыки он видит в коммерциализации радиостанций и в исчезновении независимых передающих сетей
