Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

UCR celebrates the album anniversary with a special radio broadcast and contest giveaway.

"It's the story of a poor kid from Jacksonville, Florida, who realized a dream through music," guitarist says.

The legendary director tells UCR how Petty helped to kick-start his career in a major way.

Ultimate Classic Rock will share rare audio of 'Long After Dark'-era interview for the first time since 1982 on Wednesday evening.

The 1983 film marked Cameron Crowe's directorial debut.

Collection features a dozen rediscovered bonus tracks.

Pearl Jam frontman has been performing the song live for years.

Martyn Atkins says he never gave Warner Music permission to use footage he shot in the '90s of the late singer-songwriter.

"Tom would be really, really happy with this," guitarist tells UCR of the new tribute album.

"There will always be a little bit of that Southern thing in there," the guitarist tells UCR.

Track is part of an upcoming tribute album to Heartbreakers frontman.

LP features two former Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, plus guests like Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and more.
