A fitting release from the camp of the late Tom Petty is the official music video for the track “Gainesville.”

The never-before-released song is featured on the box set An American Treasure, which is out now and available at TomPetty.com.  The video itself splices footage taken from around Gainesville, Fla., which was Petty’s hometown, along with archival footage throughout the late singer’s career with The Heartbreakers.

Today (October 2) marks the one year anniversary of the sudden passing of Petty due to 
an accidental overdose of prescribed medications.
