Tom Petty-Full Moon Fever (1989)

Tom Petty's solo career is almost as fruitful as with his mother band, the Heartbreakers, with whom he recorded seven albums.
In 1989 Petty decided to record a solo album and began a period full of success.
However, despite the Heartbreakers appearing as guest musicians throughout this album, this one sounds different from any Heartbreakers album due to the presence of former ELO leader Jeff Lynne. In his hands, Petty's rock becomes clean and bright, with layers of vocal harmonies, bright keyboards and acoustic guitars, a friendly, admirable and attractive sound.
In addition to the ubiquitous Lynne, two other members of the subsequent supergroup in which Tom Petty would participate in the Traveling Wilburys collaborate on the album: George Harrison in "I Won't Back Down" and Roy Orbison in "Zombie Zoo". Full Moon Fever became Petty's biggest commercial hit to date helped by rave reviews and three wonderful hit singles, "I Won't Back Down", "Runnin 'Down a Dream" and "Free Fallin", which reached absolute number 1 on the American charts and four more published ones, "Feel a Whole Lot Better", "Love Is a Long Road", "A Face in the Crowd" and "Yer So Bad", which also reached enter high positions in the charts.
One of the masterpieces of music in the 80s and of rock in general
