While the legendary singer/songwriter passed away in 2017, his legacy and spirit live on — just last week, a lavish Deluxe Edition reissue of Petty’s 1994 album Wildflowers was released. Wildflowers & All the Rest, an expansive collection of material highlighting one of Petty’s personal favorite releases, is the real deal.
