Wildflowers is Tom Petty at his most unguarded, a 1994 solo album that trades arena swagger for something warmer and more personal, presented here as the CD edition.

Recorded with producer Rick Rubin and longtime right-hand man Mike Campbell, it arrived as Petty's first album for Warner Bros. and carried his name alone on the cover, though most of the Heartbreakers turn up in the credits anyway. The songs came out of a turbulent stretch in his life, and you can hear him working things through in real time, sometimes with a grin and sometimes without one.

The title track opens the album with a gentle acoustic blessing, as if he's talking to someone he's about to let go. "You Don't Know How It Feels" rolls along on a loose drum loop and a harmonica sigh, while "You Wreck Me" kicks the energy up into pure Heartbreakers-style rock. Then "It's Good to Be King" broadens out with strings and a daydreamer's sense of humour.

Fifteen songs, no filler, and a run time that lets every track breathe without ever feeling indulgent.

Plenty of fans rank this as his finest hour, and it's easy to see why. It's the sound of a great songwriter getting honest, and it still feels like a conversation with an old friend.
