Tom Petty : Highway Companion (Special Edition)

AND IT'S HARD TO SAY

WHO YOU ARE THESE DAYS

BUT YOU RUN ON ANYWAY

DON'T YOU BABY ?

 Highway Companion

 is the third 

and final 

solo studio album 

by American 

singer-songwriter 

Tom Petty 

It was released on

 July 25, 2006,

 and charted at No. 4 

on the

 Billboard 200 

album chart.

 The album was

 produced by former

 Traveling Wilburys

 bandmate 

Jeff Lynne, 

who also produced

 Petty's highly acclaimed

 first solo album, 

Full Moon Fever, 

as well as

 the Heartbreakers' 

next album 

Into the Great Wide Open. 

Petty released the album

 through 

Rick Rubin's 

American Recordings label 

and 

Warner Bros. Records,

 where Petty has had a

 record contract 

since his second 

solo album, 

Wildflowers

 (which was produced by Rubin).

 The tracks 

"Saving Grace" 

and 

"Big Weekend" 

were released 

July 4, 2006 

on the

 iTunes Music Store.

 It ended up being 

Petty's only album

 for American Recordings, 

as that label moved to 

Columbia Records distribution

 in 2007; 

Warner Bros retained

 the rights to Petty, 

eventually reassigning him

 to subsidiary label 

Reprise Records.

A streaming version

 of the album

 was available

 on numerous websites 

before its release.

 The iTunes release 

of the album 

contained extras: 

a live version of 

"Saving Grace",

 the video for

 "Saving Grace" 

and an

 interactive media booklet.

 Petty stated in

 an interview

 that this would be

 his last solo album.
