Extract from the liner notes written by "Jangle On" columnist Eric Sorensen:

"The tragic news that Tom Petty had passed away on October 2nd, 2017 left a large void in the rock music universe (….).Horst-Peter Schmidt, the gifted and prolific German singer/songwriter who has fronted Different Faces and Starbyrd, has a similar strong connection to Tom Petty’s music (….). Sometime late in 2017 or early in 2018, we discussed the idea of a Tom Petty tribute song. The concept then grew from a single tribute song to a CD-EP and eventually into this full-length CD. Joining Starbyrd on this tribute album are fellow Petty enthusiasts Manfred Tessmer and Burckhard Thoenissen. The “Starbyrd West” contingent includes Karen Osterloh, Scot Hoffman, Steve Schaible and Ray St. Clair (….).

Listen To The Wind features two original tribute songs that serve as bookends to nine reverential cover songs that are among Starbyrd's favorite Tom Petty songs (….). Whether you are a diehard fan or a casual fan of Tom Petty, you will dig these fresh takes on classic Tom Petty songs and you will appreciate the sometimes haunting vocal and instrumental similarities between the original tracks and these cover songs. “Listen To The Wind” and you’ll hear Thomas Earl singing about his American Girl!

A word about the postage fees:

The German post service has increased its prices. Since the start of the New Year, they want 16,00 Euros for shipping a CD, which is outrageous and unacceptable for us and our customers.

If we sent the CD without the jewel case as a "letter", the postage will be 3,70 Euros (regular postage) and 6,20 Euros (registered mail - which we recommend).

So the total price including postage will be 18,69 Euros or 21,19 Euros payable to our Paypal account starbyrd@t-online.de unless you decide to choose the "jewel case option" which means 30,99 Euros (as we don't want to support DHL's price policy, we would like to dissuade you from choosing this option.).
