Tom Petty: Outlaw Blues
Tom Hibbert, Q, July 1989
Tom Petty survived the scuffling Southern bar circuit, soul-destroying legal wrangles and a self-inflicted hospital spell to bring his mid-tempo memories of fickle women and cheerless highways to a world audience. And now, less ambitious, a little more sociable, he's a part-time Traveling Wilbury and full-time Regular Guy. "It was time to calm down," he tells Tom Hibbert.
