Info for Wildflowers & All The Rest (2014 Remaster)

"You Don't Know How It Feels" won a 1996 Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance. „Wildflowers“ won a 1996 Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. „Wildflowers“ was also nominated for Best Rock Album.

It is hard to believe that Tom Petty first stepped onto the rock & roll carousel eighteen years ago. Hard to believe because the best moments of his sizable catalog--the perfect guitar pop of "American Girl," the faux-psychedelia of "Don't Come Around Here No More," the sharp-tongued putdowns like "Century City" and "Zombie Zoo"--have all developed a rare timeless quality. A quality that few, if any, of his contemporaries (Eddie Money, the Cars, etc.) were able to achieve.

Harder, still, because in the course of his long career we've never noticed Petty gettin' on in years or becoming an anachronism. So it is somehow appropriate that on „Wildflowers“, his second "solo" ride without the full complement of the Heartbreakers, Petty's musings fall predominantly toward his current role in the world. Throughout these reflections Tom Petty plays the kid's game he's been good at for years ("but let me get to the point, let's roll another joint" he sneers knowingly in "You Don't Know How It Feels"). More often than not, the future the songwriter envisions for himself is full of doubts ("Time To Move On") and soon-to-be-dull memories ("Don't Fade On Me").

This makes „Wildflowers“ speak in a far more subdued and wistful tone than most Petty records, creating a darker self-conscious persona. Tom Petty understands that he's far too established to keep playing a rebellious, one-dimensional rock & roll singer. On „Wildflowers“ he attempts to ground this understanding in a purposeful existence.

"...Petty's music...has always demanded a respect that no amount of wry humility could undermine, and his new album Wildflowers proves no exception..." (Rolling Stone)
