Tom Petty Week, Pt. 1: After All It Was A Great Big World
And another song that spurred an urban legend…
American Girl by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was seen as tribute to Roger McGuinn's trademark 12-string Rickenbacker-jangle sound when it was released in 1976, although Petty and Heartbreakers' guitarrist Mike Campbell achieved that effect with two 6-strings playing unisono.
McGuinn would fittingly be the first to cover this tune on his 1977 solo effort Thunderbyrd.
Bonus (listen, and you'll know…):
If you happen to have another version of this song, feel free to send it in and I'll include it in this list.

Bei "American Girl" muss ich immer ans "Schweigen der Lämmer" denken..
