"I think I first met Nick over the phone in London when he had the Jesus of Cool album out," Petty says. "We kept in touch, did a tour together. I always liked 'Cracking Up.' It was just one of those afternoons in the studio with not much to play. I said, 'What about "Cracking Up"?' and everybody said sure. We did it in a couple of hours. Nick came in right after we finished playing it." | Appears On | |
