Or, more likely is it one of the King’s Highways in the U.S., like the one from Charleston to Boston, or the one in New York state, or the one following the Mississippi River in the South, or one in Pennsylvania or Texas, or one of two in Virginia. Maybe he is referring to the 1927 British film, King’s Highway. Is he referring to the ancient King’s Highway from Egypt to Syria? There is a King’s Highway in Jordan, which reminded one blogger of the Petty song. There appears to be highways with that name all around the world, and there is even a Facebook page devoted to all of them. I have tried to figure out geographically which Kings Highway appears in the song. But I have never felt compelled to own everything he has done, and because of that, I suppose, I have missed some great songs like “Kings Highway.” I have never heard a Tom Petty album that I do not like, and I own several of his albums. There are some artists where I buy every CD they make, but for most artists, it depends on the time and what I think of the latest music. Like John Mellencamp, Tom Petty is one of those artists who has been making music that I like for decades, but he sort of comes and goes in and out of my life. calls the song a “minor gem,” but for me it was like finding a piece of hidden gold in Petty’s back catalog. I only fell in love with “Kings Highway” when a live version was included as a free download when I bought tickets to the Petty Mojo tour. I did not buy the album at the time, but I do remember hearing other songs from the album, like “Learning to Fly.” Maybe I was out of the loop that year, or maybe it was not played that much on the radio. For some reason, I do not remember Tom Petty’s song “Kings Highway” from when he and the Heartbreakers released it in 1991 on Into the Great Wide Open.
