The album is essentially a graceful social commentary, and believe me, as we entered the 1990’s, society and the music industry were entirely in need of some social nose thumbing. Into The Great Wide Open was the first Tom Petty album I took seriously, where this time out songs such as “You And I Will Meet Again,” “Learning To Fly” and “Two Gunslingers” offered up something that seemed capable of defining a portion of my life, as I felt that perhaps Tom was finally ready to share a more defined part of his. Tom Petty – lead vocals, guitars (acoustic, electric, 12-string), keyboards, percussionīenmont Tench – acoustic and electric pianos, synthesizer, accordion Howie Epstein – bass guitar, backing vocals Mike Campbell – guitars (lead, 12-string, bass, resonator, slide), keyboards, backing vocals on "Learning to Fly" The music video for the title song stars Johnny Depp as "Eddie", who moves to Los Angeles as a teenager to seek rock stardom, along with Gabrielle Anwar, Faye Dunaway, Matt LeBlanc, Terence Trent D'Arby and Chynna Phillips. 1 on the Mainstream Rock chart, albeit for two weeks. The second single, "Out in the Cold", also made No. 1 single (along with "The Waiting" from 1981's Hard Promises) on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, spending six weeks at the top spot. The first single, "Learning to Fly", became the band's joint longest-running No.
