Paul (Audioman) has provided the album of the week this time around. Many thanks to him for the suggestion and the words.
Tom Petty - Wildflowers (1994)
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51zwEMF3vaL._SL500_AA280_.jpg
Wildflowers is a Tom Petty Solo Album from 1994. Though not a Heartbreakers album several members were involved including Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench and Steve Ferrone who was soon to replace Stan Lynch on drums. Ringo Starr guests on 'To Find A Friend'. The Album was produced by Rick Rubin with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell.
The album has excellent sound quality and is full of strong material. This is easily one of the best albums by Petty or the Heartbreakers as a group. In fact soundwise it's difficult to distinguish the solo from the group material. It was released on vinyl and CD but the former is now very expensive. Worth seeking the rare double vinyl out though.
