Chris Stapleton’s take on Tom Petty’s “I Should Have Known It,” from the forthcoming Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty (June 21 via Big Machine Records), has been released with an accompanying audio video that features vintage photos of Petty.
The new track follows the recent release of “Southern Accents,” by Petty’s friend and fellow Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Dolly Parton. The beautifully intimate version of what Petty considered to be one of the best songs he ever wrote has taken on a new life in the world of Country music—watch the video, featuring home videos and professional footage of Petty. Dierks Bentley’s take on the classic, “American Girl,” premiered as Bentley’s highest charting single upon launch.
Executive produced by Petty’s close confidant, Grammy® award-winner George Drakoulias (Barbie, The Black Crowes, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), with Randall Poster (Killers of the Flower Moon, Skyfall, Wes Anderson) and Scott Borchetta (Big Machine), the Country tribute album lovingly curated by some of the late Petty’s closest friends and collaborators, finds some of the most lauded voices in Country and Americana music exploring the extensive Petty catalog and putting their own personal touches on some of his greatest hits.
