John and I got together to discuss the Petty Country and Bad Monkey Soundtrack releases and built a 16 track playlist that gives you a good idea of what to expect from each disc. We discussed what makes a good cover version, which contemporay artists are doing the best job of interpereting Tom's work and we also talk about covers not on either album that are worth checking out!

You can find our final playlist here: https://tinyurl.com/55fyfw6t

Our additional list of covers not on these two albums here: https://tinyurl.com/5h7n2a2w

And if you want to check out John's "Petty Scattered, Smothered, & Covered" playlist, you can find that here: https://tinyurl.com/2k3pc883

A last very special thanks to Paul Zollo. Without his book, "Conversations with Tom Petty", this podcast wouldn't be nearly as much fun to research. And further thanks to Warren Zanes for his outstanding book "Petty, the Biography".
