Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready has joined forces with singer-songwriter KT Tunstall and Thunderpussy's Leah Julius to record a cover of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down."
The night before what would have been Tom Petty's 67th birthday, a group of fans convened along the Southern California thoroughfare name-checked in his classic hit single "Free Fallin'."
No one song has emerged to lead the parade of tribute covers, but artists from a variety of genres are showing their respect for the man and his music.
