Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers – Echo LP For Cheap
Description
Cut from the Original Analog Tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios
1999 s Echo served as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers  first official studio album since 1991 s Into the Great Wide Open with the frontman s second solo endeavor Wildflowers (1994) and Songs and Music from She s the One (1996) issued in the interim.Â
A self-described dark record rooted in the pangs of his recent divorce, Rick Rubin wonderfully balances the weight of the record s themes with a revealing no-nonsense production which only adds to the intimacy of Petty s songwriting. Home to the trio of Top 20 singles Free Girl Now, Swingin and Room at the Top,  Echo would also be the last album to feature contributions from the band s longtime bassist vocalist Howie Epstein who died of a drug overdose in 2003.
Petty s musical integrity and craft, not to mention his seemingly effortless flair for rapturous hooks, have remained constant despite ever-shifting musical trends, and his multi-generational fan base continues to swell. In the words of Rolling Stone s Alan Light, The man s consistency is pretty astounding.
