Free Fallin' (Tom Petty) by Drew Dempsey & Erin Webb. Live at Sunset Sound

Episode 1 'Sunset Sound Re-Created'

In 1989 Tom Petty tracked the album "Full Moon Fever" at Sunset Sound Recording Studio in Hollywood, CA. "Free Fallin'" was the opening track of that Tom Petty album which was also his debut solo record in 1989. The song was written by Petty and his writing partner for the album, Jeff Lynne, and features Lynne on backing vocals and bass guitar. The duo wrote and recorded the single in two days, making it the first song completed for Full Moon Fever.

"Free Fallin'" is one of Petty's most famous tracks as well as his highest - and longest - charting song. It peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in January 1990, becoming his third and final top ten hit. Petty explained in an interview with Billboard magazine that he and Jeff Lynne were sitting around trying to come up with a song, and Lynne got him to say "free falling". The next day they recorded the song. Petty did not write the song about a specific person, but instead about what he saw during his frequent drives along Ventura Boulevard.
"Free Fallin'" is widely regarded as one of Petty's best songs. Billboard and Rolling Stone both ranked the song number four on their lists of the greatest Tom Petty songs,[8][9] while WatchMojo considers it to be Tom Petty's best song.[10]

The band on the original session was..
Tom Petty – lead & backing vocals, 12-string acoustic guitar
