Tom Petty An American Treasure

stream Tom Petty's previously unreleased "Gainesville" from new box set

The late Tom Petty is being celebrated with a new career-spanning box set, An American Treasure, which comes out next week (9/28) via Reprise. It has 60 songs including “previously unreleased recordings, alternate versions of classic songs, rarities, historic live performances and deep tracks,” and one of the previously-unreleased songs has just come out, “Gainesville.” It’s from the Heartbreaker’s 1998 Echo sessions and it’s a real gem. Listen along with the recently released video for “Keep A Little Soul” and the full tracklist, below.

In other news, Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell told Rolling Stone that they may reunite to pay tribute to their fallen frontman. “Of course we’ll play again someday,” he said. “We love each other too much not to do that.” Campbell also considered a reunion in conjunction with the potential Wildflowers box set. “It would be a great tribute to Tom to just do that album. We’d probably have four or five different guest singers with us. We don’t know who they might be though or when this might happen.” He promised they would never do a big arena tour with someone replacing Petty, but he did suggest that he might be interested in the Heartbreakers making an album of entirely new material with another singer/songwriter “that we really respect.” Meanwhile, Campbell is about to be busy touring with Fleetwood Mac. He and Neil Finn recently joined the band as Lindsey Buckingham’s replacement.
