  • @swiftslick
    @swiftslick Před 7 lety +40

    This is not a Heartbreakers song. It's from Full Moon Fever, which is his first solo album. Petty co-wrote it with Jeff Lynne. Lynne plays on the song as does George Harrison. Also, Brian May is not in this video, that is Mike Campbell, who had a similar hairstyle (but plays a Gretsch 6186 Clipper on this song and is mock playing Harrison's Stratocaster in the video). Ringo Starr only appears in the video as Phil Jones was the drummer for the album.

I also sang it when we be in a flat out dead gallop. I lost him January 26th 2024. He passed away at age 38. I've owned him sing He was 4yrs old. So when I hear this song I get tears in my eyes. Best horse I've ever had. Miss him every single day.
