Tom Petty DJ Tom at the Mic (2-CD)

A consummate performer, extraordinary musician, gifted composer and occasional actor, in 2005 Tom Petty turned his hand to DJing as well, hosting his own radio show, "Buried Treasure". Having completed 10 series over the intervening 12 years until his tragic passing in 2017, Tom played an eclectic and entertaining mix of music which had inspired him to make his own sounds, and which continued to inform and influence his compositions right up to the end. These shows, transmitted on SiriusXM Sattelite, stand as testament to a man whose tastes in music were as exemplary as his own creations, and which live on to help tell the tale of an American music legend . This CD box set features two discs chock-full of cuts taken from Tom's shows across the years, providing both a superb array of classic contemporary sounds from the 20th and 21st centuries, and a fitting reminder of how this generous and good-natured artist was as keen to promote the music which gave rise to his talents as he was to perform the songs of others in concert.
