Petty, Tom: Full Moon Fever (Vinyl LP)

Ten years had passed since Petty's last solid outing (Damn the Torpedoes in 1979), and Full Moon Fever fully resuscitated the artist's career, which - some would say "arguably" - had been losing steam.

With the album's four major hits and rave reviews from the critics (these things do not always go hand-in-hand), Petty must have breathed a sigh of relief. He left the Heartbreakers behind, hooked up with musician, writer, and producer Jeff Lynne, and rocked out with 'Runnin' Down a Dream', got mellow and introspective on 'Free Fallin''' and 'A Face in the Crowd', and paid tribute (finally) to the Byrds with a cover of 'Feel a Whole Lot Better'. He perfected the sing-along guitar-pop song on 'Yer So Bad' and had a wild time on 'Zombie Zoo'.
