Tom Petty · 1994 · 1990s · Entry 264 of 272
Wildflowers
Rick Rubin produced. The first record without the Heartbreakers as a band on the label, even though most of them are still on the tape. Looser, warmer, and the songwriting catalog Petty kept circling back to for the rest of his career — 'You Don't Know How It Feels', 'Crawling Back to You', 'Wake Up Time'. The one he said he should have made all double.
