On a personal note(I hope you don't mind) a pal of mine,who is only 31 and a fantastic guitarist and all-round-top-bloke,is gravely ill in hospital with possibly a day maybe two then that's his lot. So here's my personal tribute to Rhys playing with Zeus. [Link] Gonna miss you Rhys! RIP Tom. Ollie's Dad,Ash.

[Link] An update on my pal Rhys. He sadly passed away yesterday afternoon in the sunshine whilst in the garden at Medway Hospital. RIP (Riff In Peace)Rhys.

I don't think McGuinn knew Petty before he heard the song on the radio; he certainly didn't cover it til months after the 1st TP & Heartbreakers album was released. However, TPs American Girl is very much in the McGuinn style, and McGuinn's version is very good too!

Pettys cover of feel a whole lot better is very good

Indeed,its not bad,but not as good as the Byrds' version I'd say.

I appreciate the thread is about Petty's tragic death but since the Byrds and a solo effort by McGuinn have cropped up,can I also take the opportunity to plug some of the great post-Byrds work of two other original members,Gene Cark (the writer of Feel A Whole Lot Better)and Chris Hillman

It may be the story I heard was wrong..all those years ago or I've misremembered it.Whether that would be due to excesses then or defects now or both,I'm not sure!

Have to say I didn't really like his stuff that much, although I do like many of the artistes categorised with him.

Hope not - he's had an autopsy!
