Hard Promises, was released on May 5, 1981, 40 years ago today.
The album peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100, and featured the jangly,

Hard Promises‘ release was delayed because Petty’s record label wanted to sell it for $9.98, one dollar more than the usual price for an album at the time. Tom was so against the idea that he threatened to call the album

Thinking back on it, Starr and Luke Edwards have to admit that 2010 was the start of crazy time. It was one year after their first child was born, and the San Diego couple had just launched Bitchin’ Sauce, a Carlsbad-based company built around the addictive vegan condiment Starr had been making since she was in high school.
And while Starr was running the new business and taking care of their son, Luke was touring the country with the Smart Brothers, an award-winning band that also included his brother Jay.
It was incredibly exhausting and super stressful. It was also something else: great training.
