Damn the Torpedos is the peak of Tom Petty’s songwriting with the Heartbreakers. Slick, big, and immutably classic, the album is a front-to-back feat of production and songwriting. The album the Heartbreakers released that October, a day before Petty’s 29th birthday and four months after his Chapter 11 filing, was appropriately titled Damn the Torpedoes. We didn’t sit around and talk about making an album about that experience, Petty told Rolling Stone in 1980, but we knew we were.
Album Notes: Produced by Jimmy Iovine, Damn The Torpedoes was recorded at Sound City in Van Nuys, CA and Cherokee Studios in Hollywood, CA. Don't Do Me Like That, Refugee, and Here Comes My Girl were all released as singles. Album category: 1970's. Unable to process your request at this time. Please fill out the correct information.
Damn the Torpedoes is the third album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released in 1979. This was the first of three Petty albums originally released by the Backstreet Records label, distributed by MCA Records. It built on the commercial success and critical acclaim of his two previous albums and peaked at on the Billboard 200 album chart Contents. 1 Background and Recording. sales figures based on certification alone ^shipments figures based on certification alone.
to success with their 1979 album, Damn The Torpedoes. At home, however, success remained elusive and The Heartbreakers only scored a major commercial breakthrough when their sophomore LP, You’re Gonna Get It!, from 1978, earned them a well-deserved gold disc. Though its defiant title hinted at these recent travails, The Heartbreakers’ sublime third LP, Damn The Torpedoes, released on 19 October 1979, served notice that Petty and co hadn’t just survived, but were likely to thrive in the long run. A refinement of the tough’n’tender, blue-collar rock’n’roll of You’re Gonna Get It!, the record picked up on the prevailing energy of punk and the new wave, yet it also featured an embarrassment of radio-friendly riches and was further enhanced by Bruce Springsteen/Patti Smith deskman Jimmy Iovine’s crisp production.
Petty struggled to free himself from the major label, eventually sending himself into bankruptcy. He settled with MCA and set to work on his third album, digging out some old Mudcrutch numbers and quickly writing new songs. Amazingly, through all the frustration and anguish, Petty & the Heartbreakers delivered their breakthrough and arguably their masterpiece with Damn the Torpedoes.
Released the day before Tom Petty’s 29th birthday, Damn the Torpedoes unites the chiming pop of the ‘60s ( Here Comes My Girl ), the muscled riffs of the ’70s ( Refugee ), and the stripped-down heartland rock of the ’80s ( Don’t Do Me Like That ). Even the Losers isn’t rock music for the gods-it’s for the guy in the back of the bar, leaning against the cigarette machine.
