Day 54 - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly
Searching for Pink Floyds Learning to Fly videoclip (see yesterdays post) I stumbled upon this track with the same title by Tom Petty. It sounds and looks familiar, must have seen it somewhere in the early nineties on MTV. Also, it sounds a lot like The Traveling Wilburys. Maybe I should buy this album. I guess Tuuur can give me some advise.

About this/me
About this:
Inspired by Tuuur, who was inspired by Glenn Case, I will be posting some song of the day posts over here. This blog is written in (poor) English, but since I’m from the Netherlands there will be some Dutch songs and/or lyrics passing by.
About me:
I live in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, a short train ride from Amsterdam. I like open source software, open-minded people and bars open all night.
The reason it sounds so much like the Willburys is that it’s produced by Jeff Lynne of ELO, who was a member and producer of the Willburys.
I don’t know about this album. Listened to it a few times, but I only like the hits… the rest didn’t leave that much of an impression.
Best introduction to Tom Petty would be his Greatest Hits album; a great overlooked album is She’s The One, currently in heavy rotation here. It’s the soundtrack of a movie, and I like almost all songs on it (except the last one, which is muzak filler).
