An American Treasure by Tom Petty

Out September 28 on Warner Bros. This first posthumous release for the beloved rocker offers a wealth of material for fans: four discs of never-before-released material from every period of Petty's career dating back to the early 1970s, split between live tracks and studio recordings (both with and without the Heartbreakers). The 60 tracks were curated by Petty's wife and daughter, plus bandmates Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench.
