Swingin'

“moonlight on the interstate
she was cross the Georgia line
looked out the window, feeling great
yeah it had to come in time”

Tom Petty released ECHO long after his Greatest Hits album, otherwise this song would have definitely been included on it. It's easily one of the best things he’s ever done but never seemed to get the attention that his earlier hits received. It's no wonder when there’s so much classic material to choose from, but this is vintage TP and the Heartbreakers serving up what they’ve always done best.

Killer hooks, movie-screen lyrics, harmonica, piano, and that famous southern drawl. Pick this up and crank it, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear.
