Way back on “Even Cowgirls Get The Blues,” a song from their breakout album The ’59 Sound, the Gaslight Anthem were namechecking Tom Petty. This is back when they were more or less considered a punk band. And now that they’re just a festival-conquering rock band, it makes sense that the Gaslight Anthem would be sticking with the man’s work. On the B-side of their new single “45,” the band takes on the 1982 Petty hit “You Got Lucky,” doing it with rough precision and giving rock critics a talking point beyond the obvious Springsteen fixation. Shout out to Micheal_ for the tip. Listen to it below.
The Gaslight Anthem’s new album Handwritten is out 7/24 on Mercury.

The band’s sophomore release is The ’59 Sound, not The ’59 Song. Change it quick before the interweb rises from its slumber.
Good lord, I know that album backwards and forwards and I fuck up the title. My brain hates me sometimes.
Now is this available to buy somewhere (that isn’t US iTunes)?
If you have a turntable, the 7″ should do the trick. Maybe it even comes with a digital download code like many of them do these days?
Now, I’m sorry, but this is pretty awful. I am a huge fan of both Petty & Gaslight Anthem, but if you’re going to do a cover, give it something new. Lil’ PZAZZ gentlemen! Just sayin’…
That is all…
dude relax, it’s a b-side
