Listen "Something Big"
Episode Synopsis
Hello my fine friends! I hope you're ready for Something Big. I love this song and it's one I've really been looking forward to digging into. I wanted again to wish a very happy birthday to the founder and guiding hand of the Tom Petty Nation, which basically replaced the Tom Petty fanclub. Keith does a superb job steering the group and sharing his love of Tom and Tom's music. If you want to listen to the track before we dig in, check out the official video: https://youtu.be/iUZDwWOExcsI was talking about the run of dates in 2012 in which Something Big was an ever-present. You can check out the band's bluesy performance of the song at the New Orleans Jazz and Herritage Festival here: https://youtu.be/2k7v80QaGMU?t=499I referenced an interview with Melody Maker in the episode and thought I'd drop a link to that piece if you'd like to read it. https://www.thepettyarchives.com/archives/magazines/1980s/1981-06-13-melodymakerIf you are able to donate financially to humanitarian aid relief efforts in Ukraine, the Red Cross is coordinating a large-scale effort which you can contribute to by visiting their website here: https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6BLRWuuAR43zHpNKIirOwAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
