All Of It - A podcast by WNYC

Wildflowers is widely considered Tom Petty’s greatest solo album and some of the best writing of his whole career. A new documentary uses unearthed footage of Petty and present-day interviews with the people involved to show how it came together. Director Mary Wharton joins alongside Petty’s daughter Adria Petty and Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell (who played on all Petty’s solo ventures) to discuss "Tom Petty, Somewhere You Feel Free: The Making of 'Wildflowers.'" The film premieres in theaters worldwide today, October 20th, on what would have been Petty's 71st birthday, with encore screenings in select locations starting October 21st.
