July 1991's "Into the Great Wide Open", Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' first post-Traveling Wilburys/"Full Moon Fever" effort with his own band. First, Tom turned forty. "I'll probably look back at this as some kind of mid-life crisis album," Petty chuckled, "and go,'God, I should've just lightened up ! Should've had a drink and forgot about it!' ,,.It's very hard living your life as we have in tour buses and airplanes for all of this time... And you do kind of realize that ,' Gee, twenty more and I'm outta here!' So you do take stock of that, you do."
