I remember reading a review of Petty and the Heartbreaker's work. The reviewer said something like, "well you really listen to for the music, not the lyrics." That may have been true for 80's Petty, but starting with Full Moon Fever that all changed. Petty and the Heartbreakers became true American story tellers.

Full Moon Fever sounded like your older brother's album, but it was also one of the first albums that burned itself into your soul. This is fucking rock. No explanation mark needed. Mike Campbell, Petty's underrated lead guitarist wrote this little gem that's buried on album of chalk full of awesome.
