Where: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, 1100 Rock and Roll Blvd., Cleveland. You’ll see this when you come away from the exhibit.” Rock & Roll Hall of Fame These people are real people, they’re not mythical figures. “Already a very successful rock star, he was creating fantastic art at a new peak. “The visitor will come away with a keen sense of what was going on in Tom Petty’s life and what inspired him to make this record the way that he did. “Yeah, I think you absolutely will,” Inciardi said. So will visitors will leave the Rock Hall knowing how it feels to be Tom Petty? In addition to the new exhibit, fans can view Rock Hall vault footage of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - inducted in 2002 by Jakob Dylan - featured in the “Power of Rock Experience.” It showcases Petty’s legendary performance of The Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” with Prince and others in a tribute to George Harrison, as well as his iconic Super Bowl Halftime performance as highlighted in “The Biggest Show on Turf” display. You can clearly hear it’s not a Heartbreakers record.” “This album is a little bit outside his typical folk-rock stomping ground it’s more of an eclectic record. “It’s probably the album that shows him most vulnerable and revealing about his life,” Inciardi said. It originally conceived as a double-disc project, and that idea finally came to fruition with 2020’s critically acclaimed and certified gold reissue “Wildflowers & All The Rest.” Whether it was solo or with the Heartbreakers, “Wildflowers” represents Petty’s last big album, which sold more than 3 million copies. Basically, Rick and Tom had a desire for a certain sound, and the Heartbreakers helped him execute it.” Even though there are members of the Heartbreakers on the record, they did not operate in their regular role. There’s some Celtic balladry on there, too. The album has some bluesy songs aside from Tom’s folk-rock. Rick encouraged Tom to not sing in his sort of traditional Dylan-esque drawl. “He got together with (producer) Rick Rubin, the co-founder of Def-Jam records. Just like any band, there were tensions so he decided he wanted to make a solo album where he could have the opportunity to sort of create songs and write songs that were a little bit outside of the Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers sound and formula. “The exhibit tells the story of this pivotal moment in Tom Petty’s life,” Inciardi said.
