Disc 1: Wildflowers.
Clearly this album connects strongly with a lot of people. It's far more subdued than the Damn The Torpedoes era, and while DTT is awesome and my favorite album from Petty, there's nothing wrong with him going in a more acoustic and subdued direction. I do happen to prefer the more rocking and defiant Tom Petty of the prior albums, but he often puts out some great work (along with the band that essentially is The Heartbreakers, minus Stan Lynch). I miss Lynch's creative drumming but replacement Steve Ferrone is an excellent drummer and suited for these songs.
There are 15 songs here, some people feel every one is perfect, an overall masterpiece. I happen to only like 7 or 8 which is a low percentage for a Tom Petty album (usually I'll like 80-100% of the tracks on a Petty album), but if you already love the album I think you'll be happy with the remastering. At any rate, this is the same album you know, but remastered in even better quality than before, which wasn't ever bad sonically in the first place.
Disc 2: All the rest
Quite an interesting listen. It starts out with "Something Could Happen", very much in the style of the rest of Wildflowers, but a little more positive/optimistic in my mind than much of the original WF album. And perhaps the best part for long-time Heartbreakers fans is that this one has Stan Lynch on drums. The band's take on "Leave Virginia Alone" is quite good, a song famously covered by Rod Stewart but written by Tom Petty for this album, then shelved.
I like most of the rest of the tracks, some of which appeared on the album "She's the One", but these are from the Wildflowers sessions, different versions than the STO album - though not sounding a great deal different than on STO. Ringo Starr even drums on "Hung Up and Overdue", as he does on the STO version. Of the "new" songs here, "Confusion Wheel" and "Somewhere Under Heaven" I found to be especially good.
Disc 3: Home Recordings
These are mostly Tom's own demos, though they sound more complete than most demo tracks. There's a very intimate and immediate sound to Tom's voice here, and the fact that he's deceased makes hearing them all the more poignant now. Hearing his voice now on these recordings may bring you nearly to tears, but those are also tears of joy because it's like you are hearing him now, recordings that you thought were lost. On a few of the tracks Tom's voice sounds rough/ragged, and those aren't as good as the others. But most of them sound great, Tom in very good voice.
A few of the lyrics jump around from song to song, with lyrics from one demo eventually moved to a different song on the album. "Crawling Back to You" is particularly interesting, though I believe Tom has the lyric as "Coming Back to You" at this point in the song's development. Also, the first song on this disc, "There Goes Angela (Dream Away)" is terrific and very memorable, almost haunting in a good way. Subdued in style, but really it's hard to see this being left off the original album; it's another essential Tom Petty track and fits with the WF album musically.
Disc 4: Wildflowers Live
This is a disc I thought would be uninteresting, but I was completely wrong. I've always enjoyed this band live, but I already had numerous live recordings of them, all of the official releases (such as "Live Anthology") and then some. What more could this live disc offer? Well a lot. These are not just songs from the Wildflowers tour, in fact only one of the tracks is from that (1995) tour. The songs are from various tours, all the way up through the 2017 tour. And yet somehow they manage to make this sound like it's all from a single concert, including some banter from Tom. Remarkable, and not to be missed.
The booklet that comes with it is of high construction quality, though the text and photos are nothing remarkable IMO. The discs are tightly held in the sleeves, possibly they could become damaged when taking them out, so you might want to house them separately from the booklet, but it works if you are careful. All in all this set is essential to die-hard TP&HB fans, if you can spare the roughly $40 price.
EDIT - Also don't miss the new release "Finding Wildflowers", which was the 5th CD of the super-deluxe set, and is now available to everyone as a single CD. Finding Wildflowers has alternate takes of many of the songs on WF, including six tracks with Stan Lynch on drums, two tracks with Kenny Aronoff on drums, and one track with Ringo Starr on drums. Plus some alternate tracks with Steve Ferrone on drums. It's not just the drumming that is different than the "original album" version, but the pace, instrumentation, and in some cases the lyrics. Plus there are some interesting spoken introductions to these songs by Tom Petty himself. Definitely worth getting if you are getting the 4 CD set, might as well go for the 5th, if you can afford another $15.
When I learned of Wildflowes & All The Rest, it seemed shocking to me this little gem of an album earned such a celebration. Wildflowers has always been so personal to me; it's so bizarre to think about how many *other* people enjoy it - how many copies it's sold and how many strangers this album has touched. After all, this is my album. My friend. My story. My music.
A remaster of the original album? Yes, please. Wait... Wildflowers was supposed to be a double album? How did I not know that? Are you saying I am missing half of one of the most important albums in my life? There's yet more beyond that. The home recordings and live cuts turned what would be an otherwise typical remaster/extended edition of an album into a serious study of a record that deserves to be remembered and celebrated.
Obviously, I am a devoted fan of the original album, so no comment of the content necessary. The remaster is good, but actually not as rich as I expected. It does not sound all that different than the original CD, which I am intimately familiar with. But it still sounds great. No harm, no foul. Remastering the original album is not truly the point of this package. I'm anxious to hear what have only been ghosts for the last quarter century.
My first emotion listening to Wildflowers "Part 2" (or, All the Rest) was actually anger. Warner Bros robbed me of this music for 26 years. All the Rest is not as consistently touching, funny, and comforting as Wildflowers, but if you "get" the vibe parent album, you will find so much to love. There is at least one song that could have been a radio hit ("Something Could Happen"). All the Rest is most definitely B-side material; the prime cuts of the Wildflowers sessions are on the 1994 album. On it's own, All the Rest is solid Petty, and maintains the free spirit and personality of Wildflowers. However, these songs need to feed off the mojo of the original album to sparkle, and they sparkle brightly as part of the entire experience. Fidelity-wise, this disc is fantastic, perhaps sounding better than the actual Wildflowers album. The soundstage is wide and it is deep, providing a three-dimensional quality. These songs sound as if they were recorded only this year.
Disc 3, the Home Recordings, was the most pleasant surprise of the set. I expected extremely rough outlines of these songs - dusty, unearthed treasures that sound lost in time. Unearthed treasures? Yes. Dusty? Not in the least. These cuts are far more finished and cohesive than I expected. These are basically full-on demos instead of rough drafts. That is not to say the experience is redundant to the finished product, rather these are more pared down and some include alternate lyrics, slightly different chord changes and rhythms. These are the "campfire" versions of these songs, and each is charming. It's as if you're sitting with Petty in his home, and he says, "Check this out," grabs an old Martin and counts into a sparse, intimate rendition of "To Find A Friend" or "Crawling Back To You". Incidentally, the mastering of Home Recordings sounds every ounce as meticulous and dimensional as All the Rest. Obviously a notable amount of TLC went into making these home sessions sound you-are-there fantastic, from Petty's droning count-ins, to the resonance of his acoustic guitar. I expected dusty relics that sounded like dusty relics. What I heard was unfiltered, up close, and personal.
The Live disc cherry picks tracks from concerts spanning the last couple of decades. I'm not generally a fan of live albums, but this disc is different than typical live albums, which read like little more than greatest hits collections. Obviously the content focuses (for the most part) on Wildflowers material. I saw Petty live in 1995, while he was supporting the Wildflowers album. What I can say about this collection is Petty's sincere, playful audience banter is included as I remembered. Petty feeds so much off the crowd (as most musicians playing live), but the difference is in this collection it is palpable. Given the purposefully limited scope of its theme, it's not a definitive Petty live album, but it is wonderful way to round out this package as a study of and well deserved tribute to one of the greatest American albums by one of America's most beloved musical legends.
It seems as much care went into the presentation of the packaging as its content. The jewel case-size hardcover book (with four thick slip sleeve "pages" for the discs) is a biography of all things Wildflowers. The highlight is a moving love letter from magic man producer Rick Rubin describing his working relationship with Petty. Each song in the collection (not just from the Wildflowers album, but every song on each disc) is given a brief discussion by Rubin and Petty collaborators, including Mike Campbell. There are pages of beautiful pictures and artwork, which can be moving to Petty fans, who are still dimmed by his passing several years ago.
All of that is to say Wildflowers & All the Rest is the spirit of Tom Petty throwing his arm around your shoulder and smiling as he offers one last gift. If you have the kind of relationship with Wildflowers as I do, this collection is a no-brainer.
Impossible to get now, as I tried to get more for presents, but good luck buying it!
Thanks for carrying it, Amazon!
