Full Moon Fever LP

Album Details

1989's acclaimed Full Moon Fever served as Tom Petty's first solo album although Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell features heavily throughout and fellow bandmates Benmont Tench and Howie Epstein also make appearances. Traveling Wilburys alum George Harrison and Roy Orbison join the proceedings as well. The shimmering production of ELO's Jeff Lynne and Petty's more melodic and pop-oriented approach coalesce flawlessly on timeless anthems like "Free Fallin," "I Won't Back Down," and "Runnin' Down a Dream" resulting in a five times platinum certification and the best-selling release of his career at the time.
