As you listen to Wildflowers, Tom Petty's first new album in three years and his first ever for Warner Bros., you may be struck by a certain quality, new for Petty but nonetheless familiar.
Wildflowers is Tom Petty's best record in years; it's certainly his least commercial and most heartfelt.
Wildflowers, while criticized as being uneven and even a bit on the produced-sounding side of things, is a fun album, one that is gleefully scattered across the board.

 Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers: Album Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
While it’s credited as a solo album, it still slots into his catalogue neatly alongside his other projects; most of the Heartbreakers appear on the album at some point, while its more relaxed sound is a precursor to the direction that the band would take in the nineties.
Petty's songwriting took a couple of albums to hit top gear, and some of the early material such as 'American Girl' and 'Listen to Her Heart' is uninteresting and irritating.
Otherwise the stripped down songs on Wildflowers examine different facets of Petty's relationship, from meeting ("I'll be the boy in the corduroy pants, you be the girl at the high school dance"), despair in 'Don't Fade on Me' ("Today you are too tired to even leave your bed") and release in the title track.

Ridiculous is a nice Squeeze album and I think I prefer it over the previous few albums after Frank.
The 1994 version includes the bonus tracks "Back Off Boogaloo", "Blindman" and "Six O'Clock (extended version)." Standout tracks include the title song, "No No Song," and his cover of "Only You." There are reviews and some background information of the album on a fan Ringo page.
This album actually was a compilation album, but I didn't know it at the time I bought it.

As one of the strongest, most consistent and enduring rock bands in history, they've certainly earned the right to be honored with such a collection.
If that album hadn't been released in 1993, Echo would be a deeply fulfilling summation of their career, a living, breathing document of Petty and his band's various strengths throughout the years.
Refreshingly for a Œ90s rock album, Echo is entirely free of drum loops or electronic elements, and the band relies upon the sound that they have perfected.

 Reviews of Ray Bailey | Satan's Horn and Tom Petty | Wildflowers
Wildflowers has been out for six months, and is already double platinum.
Ray Bailey, Satan's Horn (Zoo 1995) -- The debut album by Ray Bailey is the major-label reissue of an extraordinary one-night studio session that was recorded in the spring of 1993.
Virtually every song reflects Ray's experiences in his South Central Los Angeles neighborhood, and several draw upon his past drug experiences, including the title track, in which he sings of a crack-addicted friend who "spends her nights blowing Satan's horn" (a play on words based on the slang name for crack pipes as "horns").

Their new album, quite a bit tamer than their former works, is reminiscent of classic English power pop the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Buzzcocks.
With the overwhelming success of their first album and their recently released second already on its way up the charts, the Tribe is proving itself a band whose unstoppable innovation has changed and influenced hip- hop as well.
They were, most importantly, one of the first hip-hop bands to actually play their instruments both on their album and on stage, replacing a drum machine with a live drummer, and using guitars instead of samples.

In 1993, 17 years after the release of their eponymous debut album, a single disc, 18 track compilation of some of Tom Petty&The Heartbreakers' best stuff was released, simply entitled "Greatest Hits".
I know it's one of their weaker albums, and "You Got Lucky" is without a doubt the best track on there, "Straught Into Darkness" and "Change Of Heart" are just as great and deserved to be on here.
I know a lot of people don't care for this album, but "Jammin' Me" was a top 20 hit (# 18), and since it was a collaboration with Bob Dylan, I think it's significant enough to have a place on this collection.

The album tracks are callidoscopic, from the yearning Grey Seal, the epic opener Funeral For A Friend, and the appropriately-titled Harmony.
What was also striking and ground-breaking about this album is that the songs show a piercing social consciousness, bringing up questions of race, economy, the environment, and war.
The fact that a song this terribly bitter is on the same album as a song as emotional and open and peaceful as Imagine shows the duality that made John Lennon so appealing: he was a flawed human striving for something better.

Steve's drummer Linda Pitmon was recruited for the project as well and upon returning from 5 months on the road, the 3 friends decided to hole themselves up in an old firehouse in Brooklyn with famed engineer Adam "Red" Lasus and ace NYC bass player Scott Yoder to start recording this stark masterpiece.

Tom Petty is one of the great American rock and roll songwriters of the last quarter of the 20th century.
Among the 15 songs on this album, "Wildflowers," the driving, dynamic "You Wreck Me" and the first-time-ever-for-Tom piano ballad "Wake-Up Time" verge on brilliant.
Petty's catalogue may be one of the better arguments around for the existence of greatest hits albums, well, I'd be hard-pressed to object to that.

This album is the first major addition to David Dunn's discography since Innova's double CD set "Music, Language and Environment" in 1996.
The focus is kept on the harshness of analog synthesizers, even though the sounds are processed digitally and most of the music has been obtained through the use of computer algorithms.
Central to the overall sound of the album is "Wildflowers" (1994), best described as a retro-futuristic extravaganza.

I have such faith in him that I purchase his albums unheard, as they are released.
The album hinges on the song that could have been a Grateful Dead epic, the lightly countrified, drug-friendly ditty "You Don't Know How It Feels." If you haven't heard it on the radio, you've heard it played at a NBA game during a time-out.
Although Wildflowers is criticized as being uneven (even a bit on the produced-sounding side of things), it's a fun album, one that is gleefully scattered across the board.

 Petty's Homegrown Rock, 4/26/99
Unperturbed by the apparently evanescent shelf life of these genres, the Heartbreakers have stuck to their guns, producing album after album (12 in all) of solid rock-’n’ -roll.
Like many Heartbreakers albums from the past ten years, the first track starts out sounding just idle enough for the listener to question whether or not Petty is slowing down with age.
The album’s first single, "Free Girl Now," is a simplistic, three-minute/three-chord anthem, which if nothing else proves that anyone with a used guitar and a dream can make a song catchy enough to be hummed by millions.

Not surprisingly, this is how most of their self-titled debut album sounds — it blends together like the passing countryside on a long road trip.
But harmonious monotony hasn't sounded this pleasant since Tom Petty's 1994 album, "Wildflowers." Perhaps it's because Danny Kathriner carries his voice like a younger, milder Petty.

In the spring he went into the studio to give some of the energy back, and the result is Love and Theft, an album already hailed as one of the best of his 40-year career, given a five-star rating and called a remarkable achievement by Rolling Stone.

Every track is flawless and makes you want to say 'this is Tom Petty's best song.' While I am a Tom Petty fan and own most of his albums, I feel that if you want the essential Tom Petty on one disc than this is the album to buy.
You should however consider buying "Wildflowers" because that material isn't represented on this album and it's some of his best work.
