Kurt Vile covers Tom Petty's Learning To Fly for SiriusXMU Sessions

This is so perfect.

Easily my most listened to artist of the last 5 years. KV is just unreal. Found him in 2011/12 and the streak of albums he has put out in that decade......they will be with me for life.....i NEVER tire of them or his catalog. This is so fantastic, this cover is new to me, but exactly as you'd imagine it.

If encyclopedias still exist ??, ( okay Wikipedia)under the word “chill” we should find a picture of KV!!😊

Oooofff

This is awful! I think Tom would hate this

🔥 🔥 🔥

I love KV. He is Gold Standard. A genius .

If Tom Petty and Lou Reed had a kid together it would sound like Kurt Vile.

When I've listened to Kurt do a song like "I'm an Outlaw," I've always thought vocally, he reminded me of an indie-rock Tom Petty. When I actually hear him do a Petty song, I hear the similarities less, but I appreciate it just the same. Talented dude 👏

Tom would be happy with this. Great work Kurt.

this is the most beautiful song intro i've ever heard in my life and that is zero exaggeration...

You had mighty big shoes to fill. This ain't it.

PETTY WOULD BE VERY PLEASED !

Sounds like a son covering a song his dad wrote....if it turned out to be the case, I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Brilliant

The musical arrangement is great. The silly vocals and overuse of rolls doesn't work for me in a song that's so musically repetitive. You gotta find the sweet spot. I'm sure I would like his other stuff much more.

Who tf let this guy disrespect tom petty like that

Holly Moly......im not dreaming😷💘😷

Awesome!

Unique

The way he bounces the high note off nearly every other note when he solos is amazing. Has his own style completely he’s great

what a cool and distinctive voice. love the little yelp he does

When being petty and vile are good things !

Weird Al vibes

I think this is poor, piss poor actually

Talented dude total respect

I love his voice and his unique guitar play.

If someone explained how this cover would work, I'd say no way. But somehow it does work.

No, just No............no

That pure guitar. So refreshing.

what is happening

Kurt Hero!

Fone Toms family right now and apologize..

❤️❤️❤️

Reminds me of Neil Young... love you Kurt!

Kurt is just an incredible genius, period.

I really love Kurt Vile, when I'm high.

Awesome

This version is quite vile.

This version is quite vile.

This version is quite vile.

This version is quite vile.

This is such a respectful cover. I think Tom Petty would appreciate this, and I love how Kurt has his own signature style on it. Two of my all time fav artists.

It's that shirt from the dryer.

I really like this cover! It sounds like a Kurt Vile Song. Talk about making a song your own! He owned it and plays brilliantly!
