New Tom Petty Box Set, An American Treasure, Coming This September

Tom Petty fans, rejoice.

On September 28, Reprise Records will release a 60-track box set that includes previously unreleased songs from the late songwriter, in addition to a number of rarities, live versions, and alternate workings of Petty classics.ย 

โ€œEveryone involved in this project chose each track with tremendous care and deep respect for the body of work Tom Petty created over the course of 40 years,โ€ said Pettyโ€™s daughter, Adria, and wife, Dana, in a joint statement. โ€œHe also accumulated a wealth of unreleased music in his vaults, and we have collectively uncovered one gem after another that will keep us all listening and discovering new facets of Tomโ€™s talent for many years to come. We canโ€™t wait to share with Tomโ€™s fans this musical portrait of an artist who deeply affected our culture and indelibly touched the lives of fans the world over.โ€

Below, you can watch the video for โ€œKeep A Little Soul,โ€ a previously unreleased song from 1982 that was recorded for the album Long After Dark.

See full tracklist for the box set after the video, as well as information on the different formats available for purchase on September 28.
