A previously unreleased Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song has dropped.
‘For Real’ comes from the forthcoming two-disc retrospective release from the band, a 38-track compilation called The Best of Everything – listen to it below.
The Best of Everything will be released on 1st March, in celebration of the late musician’s impressive career.
The forthcoming collection will include “songs from [Petty’s] solo projects, songs with world-class musicians the Heartbreakers, as well as essentials from the reformed Mudcrutch.”
A press release from Geffen Records/UME described the release as a “supplement to last year’s critically lauded, career-spanning box set An American Treasure.
“Rather than chronological order, the special cross-label collection was sequenced as a hard-hitting playlist giving the entire catalog equal prominence.”
A never-before-heard alternative version of the collection’s title track ‘The Best of Everything’ from Petty’s 1985 album Southern Accents, will feature on the release with a previously unheard verse.
Tom Petty passed away in 2017 at 66-years-old following a cardiac arrest.
Since his death, a park in the iconic rocker’s hometown of Gainesville, Florida has been renamed in his honour.
