• Song of the Day #1,597: ‘You Got Lucky’ – Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

  Tom Petty was really churning out albums in the late 70s and early 80s. His next album came out just a year after Hard Promises. 1982′s Long After Dark is the fifth straight Petty album to tread the same ground — short, muscular songs in what had become the Heartbreakers’ [...]
