‘FINDING WILDFLOWERS (ALTERNATE VERSIONS)’ FEATURES 16 TRACKS OF LONG CUT TOM PETTY ‘WILDFLOWERS’ SONGS (ALBUM REVIEW)
“…such tracks as such as a twelve-string guitar dominated 'You Wreck Me' provide dramatic insight into the meticulous approach Tom applied to this material in the company of kindred spirits including the entire band of Heartbreakers and producer Rick Rubin. Yet in place of a too-careful air permeating the LP in its original form, there’s a loose spontaneity within these recordings that make this collection sound like one prolonged burst of inspiration coming to fruition in real-time."
