I thought Tom Petty was touring with the band that predated the Heartbreakers? The label signed him but only some of the band members.
I would quibble with the characterization of Petty, and to a lesser extent Winwood, as a blast from the past. He has been here all along, releasing new material regularly. Contrast this to, say, the Rolling Stones, who haven't done much new in 25 years.
