Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers defined American heartland rock with timeless albums like Damn the Torpedoes and Full Moon Fever; their signature blend of roots rock and catchy hooks earned them global acclaim. Fans still celebrate hits such as "Refugee" and "American Girl" that showcase Tom Petty’s unmistakable voice and the band’s tight musicianship.
Guitarist Mike Campbell wasn’t “just” Petty’s sideman — he co-wrote many hits, is consistently credited with the band’s signature guitar parts, and after Petty’s death went on to high-profile work (including touring with Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham).
