In August 1996 Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers released She’s the One , original soundtrack music to director Ed Burns’ film, and I had the honor of co-hosting the world premiere radio broadcast of the album along with Tom thirty years ago.
Until now the She’s the One project had always been an outlier in the otherwise very consistent Tom Petty canon, a one-off coming at a very emotional point in his private life. On the thirtieth anniversary of the original comes Angel Dream , these same film soundtrack recordings remixed and remastered, which are integrated here into my original broadcast classic rock interview where the late Petty explains unequivocally his reasons for doing them. –Redbeard
