Wildflowers
“A loving and extensive exploration into the late artist's most raw and personal record”
Wildflowers
“The new reissue of Tom Petty’s benchmark 1994 solo album has a sprawling quality inherent to the album that makes it feel less like a curio for obsessives than a deep interrogation into its success.”
Full Moon Fever
“On his debut solo album, Tom Petty’s economical, thoughtful songwriting gelled with Jeff Lynne’s restrained production. They crafted a laid-back sound but kept the tension of heartland rock‘n’roll.”
Wildflowers & All the Rest (Super Deluxe Edition)
“10 ‘new’ songs honour the wishes of an all-time great”
Wildflowers & All the Rest
“This expanded edition makes a compelling case for Petty's 1994 LP as his definitive artistic statement”
Wildflowers
““Sometimes you gotta trust yourself,” Tom Petty sings on “California,” one of the many alternative tracks that never made the original release of Petty’s 1994 masterpiece Wildflowers. “California” is no new revelation: it’s one of several songs from the Wildflowers sessions that, strangely enough, would appear two years later on the She’s the One soundtrack. But knowing that we should always trust”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
