Cover of Tom Petty's American Girl from Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker's 1977 debut album.   This song features Bacco on lead vocals.   We started this song about 2-3 weeks before Petty's death so this has been in the works for awhile.  In additional to lead and backing vocals, Bacco did all the guitars in the right channel.   I did the left channel guitars, bass, keyboards and drums..  
 
Comments welcome.

Very nice guys - excellent version of this tune.

Listening to the vocals on this, I never really appreciated how difficult this song is to sing. I think you guys pulled it off very well!

Thanks!! Going in I thought the vocals would be 'easy' but Tom Petty put a lot into his performances beyond just melody that proved to be hard to emulate. His tone and pitch placement including inflections are quite unique and while I'm not trying to copy him I still enjoy putting in a little nod here and there :D  Thanks again for the listen and feedback! 

Good song!
Nice!

Very well done.  Tom's voice was very unique and immediately recognizable.  I enjoyed this.

Furry claw tapping stuff chaps, nicely done production sound good here.

Great stuff Mark - you've managed to capture the energy of the original

Mark -  Thx very much for the listen and comment.
 
Dan - Appreciate the comment.   I agree, TP had a unique vocal style and made it look easier than I think it really was.   Bacco did a nice job integrating some Petty'isms without becoming a caricature.    Also, this was a deceptively difficult song to mix.   I could have probably spent some more time on it:) Thx.
 
Arlen - Thank you.  Appreciate it.

Rhythm guitars are too loud.
