It’s Good To Be King: Tom Petty Rarities Get Standalone Release on “Finding Wildflowers (Alternate Versions)” Due April 16

March 5, 2021 by Sam Stone | 7 Comments

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 CD or indie-exclusive 2-LP gold vinyl on April 16. Digital editions will go…

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

June 26, 2020 by Sam Stone | 4 Comments

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…

Into The Great Wide Open: ‘An American Treasure’ Collects Unreleased Tom Petty Tracks

July 10, 2018 by Joe Marchese | 10 Comments

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 radio show) that his family and closest collaborators have curated a 4CD, 60-song,…
