Echo is the tenth studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, released on 1999-04-13 on CD, cassette, and vinyl. The album was produced by Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, and Rick Rubin. Like his previous albums, the music is mostly heartland rock.
Tom Petty made a bold decision at the time by releasing the album's first single Free Girl Now for free online, being only the second major artist to do so. Unfortunately, his publisher, Warner Bros., hated the idea and forced him to take it down after only two days.

My older brother and sister both became interested in Tom Petty because of our father, and, though I didn't have much interest in music through my early teens, after Queen got me into music and I bought most of their albums, I started buying albums from other artists I was familiar with. After hearing an interview with Petty on the radio talking about his latest album, I bought Echo (I think at a Best Buy). I initially didn't care for the album finding most of the songs too simple or repetitive, but, as I listened to it more, two of the songs — Echo and Room at the Top — really resonated with me and are now among my favorite Petty songs.
