Marty Stuart on Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers:


"I’ve never made any bones about it. I think Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers were the greatest Rock & Roll Band the United States Of America has ever produced."

Wow. Better than The Hawks/The Band (though composed of only one American and four Canadians, I consider the U.S.A. responsible for their formation)? Better than NRBQ, and The Byrds? And Los Lobos? As I consider Marty and his band The Fabulous Superlatives the current best band in the world, his opinions carry a lot of weight with me.

Okay, maybe I’ve been wrong about TP & TH. ;-)

@bdp24. I appreciate your vast knowledge of music/bands.  A previous thread you contributed to caused me to listen to Buddy Miller, rhonda Vincent and many Others.  Marty Stuart is a very good band.  Recently listened to early Joni Mitchell.  Great minimalist recordings and superlative song writing.  Thank you and lucky to have streaming or would never heard this.  Favorite Tom Petty song is Breakdown.  Now i will explore Los Lobos.
