In the late 80s & early 90s, Tom Petty was huge thanks to a stint with The Traveling Wilburys, solo success with Full Moon Fever, reuniting with the Heartbreakers & a huge greatest hits album. But in 1982 he had been busy fighting record companies & the music business while trying to keep his band together. Though Long After Dark spawned one radio/MTV hit in You Got Lucky, the album is very overlooked and that's a shame. The first side is full of rockers that get under your skin and allows the band to take some chances. We think you'll like our discussion on this forgotten classic - listen to the album and you'll hear why.

Long After Dark may not be Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers best or most popular record but it is very personal. After years of battling record companies, Petty offered up some of his most heartfelt tunes. Though most of them sound like breakup songs, this often overlooked album is a real jewel of his back catalog. You Got Lucky was an MTV staple but Change of Heart may be one of his best ever.
