Let’s Get To The Point: Tom Petty’s Demo for “You Don’t Know How It Feels” Released, ‘Wildflowers’ Retrospective On the Way

In the years since Tom Petty released his landmark Wildflowers album, much has been said about the Rick Rubin-helmed sessions and how much unreleased material was left behind as the album evolved.  Petty originally had enough songs to release Wildflowers as a double-album – reportedly with at least 26 songs – but was persuaded against it.  In 2015, he released a preview track, “Somewhere Under Heaven,” for the release provisionally entitled Wildflowers: All The Rest.  But the collection was shelved after his death.

Today, the Tom Petty Estate released a new digital single: the original 8-track demo of “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” which features Petty on guitar, bass, harmonica, and vocals and includes some alternate lyrics.  The intimate home recording is one of many that the Tom Petty Estate and Petty’s former bandmates have unearthed for an upcoming release that will most likely come out during “box set season” in the fourth quarter of this year.

“The family and all our engineers and the Heartbreakers have been circling around this project and making it as delightful and completist as possible,” Petty’s daughter Adria told Rolling Stone.  “We’re really pleased to be able to share the second half of the Wildflowers double album.  But there are also completist versions of how the sessions evolved.  My dad was prolific at that time and there was so much recording done.  Coming off the ‘Last Dance with Mary Jane’ session, it was a complete evolution of how dad recorded and how he made space for his own feelings.  Wildflowers was very personal for him.  He wasn’t hiding behind anything.”

As always, we’ll keep you updated about any further archival releases.  In the meantime, enjoy the home recording of “You Don’t Know How It Feels” below!

Sam Stone

Sam Stone has been obsessed with catalog music ever since his folks gave him a Contours best-of collection for his fourth birthday. He quickly began to learn all he could about rock and roll history and beyond, a passion that continues to this day. Sam followed his love for music to the classroom, earning a B.A. from Towson University in Electronic Media and Film, concentrating on radio and audio production, as well as an M.A. in Audio Arts from Syracuse University. He has put his knowledge and skills to work at prominent reissue labels and is excited to bring his perspectives on catalog music to a broader audience. When he’s not writing for The Second Disc, Sam can be found researching about music, talking about Joni Mitchell’s career, and adding another box set to his Amazon wish list.

    Eagerly await this. Would also like any unreleased tracks from the “Southern Accents” sessions, another release he intended as a double album, but ultimately put out as a single album.
