I decided to convene some people whom I knew to be up to the task of reassessing Petty’s music, and who might be well equipped to articulate some of what is lasting and important about the range of his considerable accomplishments. The more I thought about this, the more I wanted to write about it. Since Tom Petty’s death, one year ago today, I have been haunted by the nuances and complexities of his songs, the sense of how they improve with attention, and have improved markedly in the period of reckoning that has come to pass since his untimely death.īecause Petty was so prolific and so popular, the intense craftsmanship of his body of work has been hiding in plain sight.
