Heartbreaker : a memoir / by Mike Campbell, with Ari Surdoval.

Campbell, Mike, 1950- (author.). Surdoval, Ari, (author.).

Summary:

"One of the most respected and influential rock and roll guitar players of all time, Mike Campbell was the guitarist for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from the band's inception in 1976 to Petty's tragic, sudden death in 2017. His melodic and iconic playing formed the foundation of the band's sound. But he wasn't just Petty's guitarist--he was also Petty's lifelong songwriting partner. Together, they wrote countless songs, including some of the band's biggest hits. From their scuffling early days in Florida to their dizzying rise to superstardom to Petty's solo albums, Campbell was a constant co-writer, co-producer, and confidant, and Petty never made a record without him. Part rags-to-riches story, part raucous, seat-of-the-pants adventure, Heartbreaker presents Campbell and Petty as a rock and roll Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer on a poor boys' ride of a lifetime." --Provided by publisher.
