INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN

“…Their A&R man said: ‘I don’t hear a single’.

The future was wide open...”

Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne were both members of The Traveling Wilburys as well as co-writers of the song "Into The Great Wide Open' by Petty & his band The Heartbreakers. The 1991 single deals with Eddie who is an aspiring musician. He gets his record on the charts but the momentum peters out shortly after.
