Under the guidance of producer Rick Rubin, Tom Petty turns in a stripped-down, subtle record with Wildflowers. Coming after two albums of Jeff Lynne-directed bombast, the very sound of the record is refreshing; Petty sounds relaxed and confident. Most of the songs are small gems, but a few are a little too laid-back, almost reaching the point of carelessness. Nevertheless, the finest songs here ("Wildflowers," "You Don't Know How It Feels," "It's Good to Be King," and several others) match the quality of his best material, making Wildflowers one of Petty's most distinctive and best albums.
I never would have thought that I would want to read a 300+ page book about Tom Petty...Conversations With Tom Petty is really something else, though. It reminded me how much great music Petty has made - with the Heartbreakers, the Wilburys and as a solo artist. He's really easy to take for granted but dig out Wildflowers, She's The One or The Traveling Wilburys, Vol. 1 and just listen.Forget ...

As I woke up to see the sunrise this morning, I wish I had put this Tom Petty song on our camping mix. It's the perfect rise and shine camping song for the day yr packing to go back to civilization. "Wake Up Time" is a very sweet and uplifting song.
