Wow didn’t know petty wrote “ways to be wicked”. Did he put it out before the lone justice version?

The Petty version didn't come out until his box set in the mid-'90s.

adding my name to the list of those who didn't know that about jamey johnson. damn damn damn.

I assume Jimmy Iovine was the connection with Lone Justice. Campbell actually plays on the Lone Justice track, and Benmont Tench is on two other songs on the album.

Tench and Maria McKee dated for a spell too.

Silkworm did a cool version of “Insider” on a 90s Petty tribute 90s. It’s worth checking out.


yep. and honestly the absence of “insider” on this one makes me question the project.

Dolly is so great on this.

It's a really good version, much better than what I've heard from her "rock" album. As a resident of the South, albeit one without a Southern accent, I have mixed feelings about the "I'm not ashamed" coda. I know how Dolly means it, or how I think she means, as an anti-elitist statement. I'm just not sure that "Southern pride" more broadly is what the world needs now.
