“Honey Bee”, “Cabin Down Below”, and “A Higher Place” are rocking single-sounding songs The Heartbreakers often played in concerts. The song quality is high on the rest of the album too. The song’s lyrics are meaningful, while still being humorous, and the arrangement with orchestration is perfection. Besides the excellent title song, there are three singles: “You Don’t Know How It Feels”, “You Wreck Me” and “It’s Good To Be King”, one of Tom Petty’s favorites. The first six songs are of such high quality, they would be considered a “perfect album side” for a regular 12-song album. Like most great albums, it starts extremely strong. So, is Wildflowers & All The Rest as good as fans hoped? We’ll look at the discs, beginning with the original album. Three years later, we have an extensive box set that includes the original 25 Wildflowers songs as well as demos, live versions, and alternate takes. (My 4 CD Deluxe edition which includes a built-in 48 page book with background info on each recording, plus photos & artwork.) Sadly, on October 2nd, 2017, Tom Petty passed away from an accidental overdose of pain killers he was taking for a broken hip. He also hoped to do a special tour to promote the release.

#TOM PETTY WAKE UP TIME LYRICS FULL#
In 2017, Tom was looking forward to releasing the full double album, or at least the All The Rest album he had originally planned. Tom had wanted Wildflowers to be a 25-song double album in 1994, but his record company convinced him to make it a 15-song single album. After he said that, he qualified it a bit by saying Full Moon Fever & Damn The Torpedoes were right there too. Wildflowers is Tom Petty’s best album…and that’s according to Tom Petty.
