It made him wonder if part of the house was built on bedrock. Petty was in the bedroom and didn’t feel a thing. Dana, Petty’s wife, was in their office and felt it shake like crazy. There was an earthquake in Malibu last night. What great band hasn’t done some absolute shit? So I’m kind of to a point where, if I’m gonna do it, I want it to be good. “Well, I have a contract for one thing,” Petty says, chuckling. By any measure, he’s earned the right to be collecting seashells in Oahu right now, dusting off his VH1 staples when he wants a new pool. He is to songwriting what Tim Duncan is to basketball: unflashy, consistent, amazingly dialed-in. You could drive from San Bernardino to Seattle without running out of damn good Petty songs to play. Petty has spent his life unlocking the secret of writing the great American rock song, churning out defining hits for at least two generations. It’s his first studio album in four years and his 16th overall, and it’s way better than it needs to be. Petty’s new record is called Hypnotic Eye. I think I needed to remind myself of that.” There’s a whole tier of other good songs that we don’t play. for which they set aside their usual “play ‘Free Fallin’ for the 900th time” and dug deeper into their back catalog.

Last year Petty and his band played a series of small shows in New York and L.A.

Now in his fifth decade of professional music making, he’s as cantankerous, fired up, and as in love with rock music as ever.

Those other Heartbreakers have long since disappeared, while Petty and his went on to make six platinum albums, plus Petty also made two smash solo albums, Wildflowers and Full Moon Fever. That didn’t deter Petty, who simply planted his flag and took the name for himself, his first big conquest in a career marked by combativeness, determination, and the animating conviction that he would both stand his ground and not back down. and started calling record labels, there was another band called the Heartbreakers, who were slightly better known. Back when he was starting out, a skinny, self-confident 23-year-old from Florida who blew into L.A. “Then I think you just gotta take it,” he says. Only there’s a wedding band in England that has already staked a claim to it on their Facebook page. Chase says there’s one they’ve liked for a while, the Speakers. The record is pretty much done all the band needs is a name. Petty bought him a guitar, he joined a band, and now Petty’s helping out on their first album. After Chase’s dad passed away a few years ago, he was in a funk, so Petty took him on the road, and Chase caught the rock bug. He cranks out a few more power chords, then calls to a lank-haired kid across the room, “I love it!”Ĭhase, 21, is a friend of Petty’s stepson, Dylan. “We’re just checking out this amplifier!” Fender is releasing a line of amps honoring the Heartbreakers’ lead guitarist, Mike Campbell, and Petty’s doing some last-minute quality control. “Come on in!” Petty shouts, not interrupting his jam. Follow the sound of the distorted guitar into the next room, and there’s Petty, a guitar slung around his neck, eyes closed, rocking out with more joy and enthusiasm than can reasonably be expected from a 63-year-old grandfather. There are platinum records on the wall and expensive rugs underfoot, and the air smells like incense and cigarettes. On this sunny afternoon, as is frequently the case, Petty is in his home studio, an airy extension off the main house with a cardboard sign taped to the door that reads beware: cranky hippie. After a few miles comes an unmarked driveway, followed by a gate, then another gate, and then you’re there – 30 miles from downtown L.A. Then comes a rolling stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway as it rises up toward Malibu, the ocean blasting in the left channel, the canyons in the right. It starts in the Valley, of course, passes Reseda and Mulholland, and Ventura Boulevard. The drive out to Tom Petty’s house feels a lot like a Tom Petty song.
