Last Friday, a career-spanning box set called&nbsp;An American Treasure&nbsp;was released delving into the work of Tom Petty, in time&nbsp;for&nbsp;the one-year anniversary of the venerable rocker's death on Oct. 2. Unlike most retrospectives,&nbsp;An American Treasure&nbsp;largely eschews hits in order to illuminate some of the lesser known corners of Petty's music.&nbsp;But does this approach serve the man who wrote some of the best rock singles ever? I called up Steve Kandell, a writer and journalist whose work has appeared in&nbsp;Spin,&nbsp;Pitchfork&nbsp;and Buzzfeed, to talk about&nbsp;An&nbsp;American Treasure,&nbsp;and how our perceptions of Petty have changed (and in some cases improved) in the time since he passed.&nbsp;See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
