Tom Petty makes his long-awaited Warner Bros. debut with Wildflowers, a vast and eclectic album that's one of the finest works of this veteran rocker's career.

Continuing the collaboration with producer Rick Rubin that resulted in the huge success of "Mary Jane's Last Dance," Tom has fashioned an album with a clean, stripped-down sound that embraces everything from tough rockers to spiky power-pop, from epic songs of social comment to passionate ballads. Several songs feature orchestral arrangements by Michael Kamen.

Joining Tom on this album are Heartbreakers stalwarts Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench and Howie Epstein. Steve Ferrone drums on most of the album, with some guy named Ringo laying down the beat on one track. Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys contributes vocals on one track.
