Highway Companian turns 20 …
It's the third and final solo album from Tom Petty .. released on July 25, 2006. Jeff Lynne reunited with TP and Mike Campbell to co-produce the album .. the same core team behind '89's Full Moon Fever. TP and Mike played almost all the instruments with Lynne adding some brass and background vocals. Together, they captured the relaxed, introspective and bluesy road-trip vibe with aplomb. #tompetty #highwaycompanian #jefflynne #mikecampbell…
