Into the Great Wide Open represented the merger of two worlds. He was coming off his biggest career success in 1989’s
Full Moon Fever. The solo LP, created alongside producer Jeff Lynne, was recorded without Petty’s longtime backing band the Heartbreakers (save for Mike Campbell and the occasional guest appearance). Thanks to radio-friendly hits like “Runnin’ Down a Dream,” “Free Fallin’” and “I Won’t Back Down,”
Full Moon Fever sold more than 5 million copies. I didn t want to leave the Heartbreakers behind, Petty told
Rolling Stone in 1991, because I figured they were the best band I know, and because it just felt like there was a lot of unfinished business. But at the same time, I knew I was on a roll, and I didn t want to just drop what Jeff and I had going.
