“It would be a great tribute to Tom to just do that album,” he said. In 2018, Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell told Rolling Stone that a Wildflowers tribute show was a possibility down the road. The deluxe edition of Wildflowers comes out on October 16th.
I opened that book, and just saw that phrase: ‘Most things I worry about never happen anyway.'” She sent me a little book of phrases once. “That’s one of my favorite verses that I ever wrote,” Petty revealed to author Paul Zollo in his book Conversations With Tom Petty.

And then there’s the point of view where they want to put both records together. … At one point the label really just wanted to put it out as a standalone album. “I think people are going to like it a lot. “There’s 11 or 12 songs on the album,” he told Rolling Stone in 2016. It’s a project that Petty spoke about often in the final years of his life. The five-CD set (also available as a nine-LP box) will feature 10 unreleased songs cut during the original Wildflowers sessions, 15 homemade demos from the era, live songs, and alternate versions of the album tracks. (It’s recommended that you listen to this on Spotify as their embed only has 200 songs.Earlier today, the Tom Petty estate finally rolled out details of the long-awaited deluxe edition of his 1994 solo LP Wildflowers. “Crawling Back To You” performed live on Soundstage, 2008Ī filterable, searchable & sortable somewhat up to date database with links to every “Certain Song” post I’ve ever written. I just wish I could have finally discovered it under better circumstances, you know? At least for now.Ĭompared to some of the more showy songs on Wildflowers - the three-chord crunch of “You Wreck Me,” the grandly sly sarcasm of “It’s Good To Be King,” the bouncy jangle of “A Higher Place” - I guess it was easy for me to sleep on “Crawling Back To You,” but no more. Which, of course, never stopped Tom - or you, or me, or anyone really - from worrying about those things.Īnd the end, after a pair of Roger McGuinn-esque guitar solos from Campbell, the song stops dead, and he repeats the title over and over - sad, resigned, not really wanting to, but knowing it seems like the only choice.

And in fact, it didn’t catch my attention until 2009’s The Live Anthology, and even then, I probably didn’t realize that it was from Wildflowers until - well, just a couple of weeks ago, I guess.ĭominated by Benmont Tench’s piano and some slight shimmering guitar from Mike Campbell, “Crawling Back To You” is one of the more musically sparse songs on Wildflowers, and continually stopping and starting, getting cut short every time it picks up any kind of momentum, because he’s not running back to her, he’s crawling, plus he really wants you to pay attention to this masterful verse. Like “Crawling Back To You,” a song that sits near the very end of 1994’s Wildflowers, and a song that I know that I totally ignored at the time. Of course, in the weeks since he died, I’ve immersed myself in his music, hoping to glean some kind of insights on old favorites, as well as maybe discover some new favorites. That’s what I did with Led Zeppelin earlier this year, and what I’ll be doing next year with Neil Young.īut of course, because he basically dropped dead with no warning, I had no chance to do all of that with Tom Petty. Usually, I like to prepare for all of this: when I know I’m getting near time to write about an artist about whom I’m going to go really deep, I’ll start incorporating their music in my life in weeks in advance - watching YouTube videos while on the elliptical putting their songs on my house mix reading books about their life and/or works.
