Claude says:Into the Great Wide Open landed right as grunge was swallowing the radio, but Petty wasn't interested in reinventing—this record doubles down on jangly guitars and open-road storytelling, the sound of someone who'd already won and just wanted to keep driving. You keep coming back to Learning to Fly, a song that feels less like a single and more like a life philosophy, the kind of track that plays better the older you get.
