12:00 a.m. · June 20, 2006 · by Vicki G. Siolos

Tom Petty has decided to grace us once again with a solo record, set to be released on July 25, entitled "Highway Companion." This will be the third solo album for the legendary performer, and he'll be taking it on the road during the 2006 North American "Highway Companions Tour," which features various dates with Trey Anastasio, Pearl Jam, The Allman Brothers, and The Derek Trucks Band. The first single on the record will be "Saving Grace," one of the new tracks that were performed over the weekend at the annual Bonaroo festival in Manchester, TN. All signs point to this being another great record to add to the
thirty-plus years that Tom Petty has been making great American rock music. You can check out a stream of the first single by clicking here.
