Wildflowers & All The Rest will be released in multiple formats. “ Wildflowers (Home Recording)” is available now with pre-order of the Deluxe Edition, in addition to the recently released songs “ There Goes Angela (Dream Away) (Home Recording)” and “ You Don’t Know How It Feels (Home Recording).” The significance of the song was revealed in David Fricke’s essay written for the liner notes of the collection: “It would be some time before he understood the complexity of ‘Wildflowers.’ It was, he realized, ‘me singing about me.’” This morning, Mike Campbell, Adria Petty, and Ryan Ulyate spoke with Fricke about the new collection and premiered the home recording on SiriusXM’s Tom Petty Radio (channel 31). The video was co-directed by Alan Bibby and Jonny Kofoed and produced by Assembly. Today, “ Wildflowers ( Home Recording),” a solo demo version of the classic title track, is premiering alongside a video featuring never before seen footage of Tom at his home, shot by Martyn Atkins during the recording of Wildflowers. Together they stewarded the warmth Tom created through his music and relationship to his fans. The compilation was curated by Tom’s daughters, Adria and Annakim Petty and his wife Dana Petty who call it, “Many, many hours of pure sonic joy,” as well as Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, and was produced by Tom’s longtime engineer and co-producer Ryan Ulyate. Tom’s vision of the project is becoming a reality due to the commitment of his loving family, bandmates and collaborators who helped unearth many previously unheard gems. Wildflowers & All The Rest, the long-awaited Wildflowers reissue and comprehensive collection, will be released on October 16 via Warner Records. Tom had always intended to release the second half of the album-a collection he named All The Rest, featuring ten songs from the Wildflowers recording sessions that were left off the original version and five unreleased tracks (different versions of four other songs would appear on the soundtrack to the 1996 film, She’s The One). But I was at the top of my game during that record.” Then again in 2016 on SiriusXM’s Tom Petty Radio, he discussed his desire for a Wildflowers tour to coincide with a reissue. My personal life came crashing down, and it derailed me for a while. In a 2014 interview with Rolling Stone Tom detailed his plans for the reissue, telling the magazine, “I broke through to something else.
The resurrection of Wildflowers has been a long time coming.
Released on November 1, 1994, Wildflowers-a single CD with 15 songs, still more than an hour in length-was Tom’s most acutely confessional album to date. In fact, Tom, Rubin and Campbell completed the album as a double CD with 25 songs, nearly two hours of music, but his label advised restraint. Tom ultimately wrote more songs than he could release at the time. Wildflowers in many ways changed Tom’s creative life-as a recording artist, collaborator and band leader-while a profound, personal crisis transformed the stories and emotional thrust in his songs.
