Tom Petty's 1994 solo album Wildflowers yielded the instant classics "You Don't Know How It Feels," "You Wreck Me," and of course the enduring title track. But there was much more material from those sessions which ultimately sat on the shelves until last year's excellent Wildflowers & All The Rest box set. The highlight of the super-deluxe, most expensive configuration of the box set was Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions). The 16-song collection will now see a stand-alone release on

TomPetty YouDontKnowHowItFeels pl

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

Tom Petty An American Treasure

Tom Petty's unexpected passing last October at the age of 66 was cause for reflection on the tenacious and passionate artist's lifetime of thrilling and quintessentially American rock-and-roll music.  There was no doubt that Petty's electric brand of soulful rock would live on, but fans were naturally hungry for more.  He had discussed a possible Wildflowers deluxe edition in the past, but that never materialized.  Yesterday, it was revealed on Sirius XM (home of his Tom Petty's Buried Treasure

Tom Petty

UPDATE 10/3/17, 12:15 AM: After a day of conflicting information, Tom Petty's passing was indeed confirmed just after midnight Tuesday. Here, Joe and Mike share some thoughts on the man and his music. When Tom Petty burst onto the scene with his band The Heartbreakers in 1976, American audiences initially didn't know what to make of him.  In a year dominated by pop and disco, there wasn't much room on the charts for this new heir apparent to the jangle of The Byrds.  Petty loved rock and

eric clapton the breeze

In 2006, Eric Clapton teamed with singer-songwriter J.J. Cale for the collaborative album The Road to Escondido.  The guitar god had long been a fan and patron of Cale's; he included "After Midnight" on his 1970 solo debut and took "Cocaine" to the Top 30 in 1977.  Escondido earned both men a Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album, and it would prove to be among Cale's final recordings.  He released the album Roll On in 2009, featuring Clapton on its title track.  Then, in 2013, Cale passed
