Wildflowers is the second solo studio album by American musician Tom Petty, released on Nov 1, 1994. The anthology was the first released past Picayune after signing a contract with Warner Bros. Records (where he had recorded equally part of the Traveling Wilburys) and the first of iii albums produced by Rick Rubin. The album was certified 3× platinum in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America.

In 2020, the album was ranked at number 214 on Rolling Stone'south Greatest Albums of All Time list.[12]

Groundwork [edit]

The album features all members of Tom Trivial and the Heartbreakers, with the exception of drummer Stan Lynch. Steve Ferrone plays drums on Wildflowers and would join the band officially the post-obit twelvemonth. However, the album was not credited to the Heartbreakers because, in Niggling's words, "Rick (Rubin) and I both wanted more liberty than to exist strapped into five guys."[13] Freedom all the same, Petty chose to use most of his regular band as session players, demonstrating his comfort with that format. Rolling Stone placed Wildflowers at number 12 on their list of the best albums of the 1990s.[14] Guitar Globe placed the album at number 49 in their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.[15]

Four singles were released from the album between 1994 and 1995, the most successful of which, "You Don't Know How Information technology Feels", reached No. xiii on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Album Rock Tracks nautical chart for one week. It was followed by "Yous Wreck Me", "It's Good to Be King" and "A Higher Identify" which reached Nos. two, 6, and 12 respectively on the Mainstream Stone chart.[sixteen] The championship rail, while not released equally a unmarried, charted at #sixteen on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart[17] and at #iii on the Billboard Lyric Find.[eighteen] and became one of Niggling's most streamed and popular songs.[19] [20]

In April 2015, when Picayune'southward dorsum itemize was released in high-resolution audio, this was i of only 2 albums not included in the series (Songs and Music from "She'south the One" was the other one), but a hi-res version was available on Pono Music.

The title of the 2020 book Somewhere Y'all Experience Costless: Tom Petty and Los Angeles comes from a lyric in the anthology'southward title song "Wildflowers".[21]

Wildflowers and All the Rest [edit]

Footling'southward original rails list for Wildflowers was a double album with 25songs and Lenny Waronker of Warner Bros. Records suggested that it was too long.[22] Piffling's family and bandmates arranged a 2020 re-release of the anthology that includes these deleted songs, demos, and live tracks entitled Wildflowers & All the Rest.[23] The super palatial edition of the box set called "Finding Wildflowers" included a 5th disc of alternate versions of the Wildflowers tracks. In April 2021, "Finding Wildflowers" was released individually.[24]
