A little less than a year after his passing, some new music by Tom Petty has surfaced and there’s a new box set that is going to be out on September 28th.
It’ll feature the typical fare when it comes to box sets: alternate versions of classic songs, live performances, and a lot more that highlights the lengthy career of the iconic singer-songwriter.
