“You Wreck Me,” about a troubled love, is one of the fieriest tunes in Petty’s discography, and also one of the best. While much of the album’s charm lies in the quiet tenderness of songs like the terrific title track, Petty also proves that he can rock without the Heartbreakers. You might hear Mellencamp singing about getting to the point or rolling another joint, but you probably wouldn’t get “Woke up somewhere in between/ A memory and a dream.” Petty’s brilliance lies in his ability to consistently appeal to the largest of audiences while delivering some of the pithiest one-liners around. And that’s another thing about Petty: as his music sometimes seems to straddle the line between the audacious and the MOR, so too do his lyrics. Paired with deceptively simplistic lyrics, the results are often extraordinary. (Only Neil Young has been known to convey more with a lone sung syllable.) On Wildflowers, his voice dips and rises with a husky world-weariness not immediately obvious on some of his better-known rock hits. Of the pantheon, his tone is perhaps the most startlingly affecting. In fact, Petty’s songwriting shines given the Rubin treatment, as does his voice. On headphones, it is an incredibly immediate record with nothing obscured in the mix there’s a slightly coarse edge, but Petty’s everyman songcraft renders its mass appeal obvious. Rubin has always had a knack for raw, bare-bones production, but on Wildflowers the sound is the first thing you notice. The album birthed several radio singles, namely the ubiquitous “You Don’t Know How it Feels,” but it’s notable mostly for its lack of pomp and circumstance. One of three “solo” albums Petty has released - that is, sans Heartbreakers (although several members turn up here) - it is also one of his most quietly classic. In as consistent a career as Petty’s, there are loads of highlights, not least of which is 1994’s Rick Rubin-produced effort, Wildflowers. Thankfully, he has made for some pretty damn good tunes over the years. To put it another way: he don’t make for great TV. It’s easy to understand why he’s not as contentious a subject as other contemporaries, and thus has managed to avoid the pitfalls of rock ‘n’ roll stardom. One need only watch the lengthy but engaging Runnin’ Down a Dream, Peter Bogdanovich’s 2007 Petty documentary, or a single episode of King of the Hill, where Petty voiced the well-meaning scamp Lucky for several seasons (see video below), to get a sense of his demeanor.

Nowhere in the Petty lexicon is found a Nebraska or a Tonight’s the Night where the aforementioned artists have, throughout their careers, ebbed and flowed with the creative tides to mixed - and oft times controversial - results, Petty’s output has remained remarkably stable.Īlso, unlike proven eccentrics such as Bob Dylan, Petty’s public demeanor has rarely amounted to more than the nice, humble rock star. That Tom Petty is often omitted is a testament not to his irrelevance but rather to his continually unassuming nature. ** Single print order can either print or save as PDF.When the pantheon of modern American songwriters is discussed, you frequently hear the same few names: Springsteen, Young, Dylan.
