About

Though one was a Heartbreakers album and the other wasn’t, 1991’s <i>Into the Great Wide Open</i> felt more or less like a companion piece to Petty’s 1989 solo hit <i>Full Moon Fever</i>. Both were produced by Jeff Lynne, who gives the band’s rootsy, naturalistic sound an airbrushed sheen—a contrast that sowed some internal discord among band member, some of whom preferred live takes to Lynne’s brick-by-brick approach. But Lynne’s studied studio wizardry trumped all, resulting in an album that become one of Petty’s biggest critical and commercial hits—making the Heartbreakers one of the few groups to release multiplatinum albums across <i>three</i> decade. .
