FIRST TIME HEARING Tom Petty - Wildflowers REACTION

[@kengoodman756]

The entire album Wildflowers is a masterpiece. Every song is perfect.

[@angelcappell7127]

Agree whole album is great. For acoustic go with you don't know how it feels

[@valerieparton4713]

Honeybee, It's good to be King ..so many good ones.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

Still my favorite Tom Petty album, and always will be. As much as I love his earlier pop hits, I think this is Tom at his most creative and artistic.

[@Dan-kc3jy]

Agreed!

[@sean-ew2qv]

I'm 48 and grew up gifted with the music of many elite albums and this is my favorite.

[@reggiebrousseau5283]

Happy Bday TP. Would have been 74 today. So missed. Never forgotten. Thank you for the decades of real rock and great tunes. You legend will never die because we will keep playing all yer great music. They will be playing it 100 years from now and still be in awe. It's good to be king because you are. God bless.

[@stevehamilton8824]

I still sometimes cannot believe Tom is gone. He was such a big part of my life growing up. His songs were always around on the radio as a kid. RIP Tom. Glad we still have your amazing music to listen to.

[@rjd6214]

Wildflowers, the whole album, is start-to-finish incredible.

[@rachelgonzalez3803]

I actually have the music notes to this song tattooed on me. We played it at my aunt’s funeral. I’m so glad you listened and loved it. Tom is missed greatly!

[@RobertEskew]

Tom Petty was a masterful songwriter, musician and producer, which is apparent in this song as well as in his entire body of work.

[@Robsan40]

Tom Petty "Don't Do Me Like That" - PERIOD.

[@MrEriczamorez]

Beautiful Beautiful song. Beautiful Beautiful artist. ❤

[@angelariebli4843]

This WHOLE album. For real.

[@marksimpson1991]

This marks a big change in Tom's career, and life. This is a solo album and, although some of The Heartbreakers play on it, this gave him the freedom to reflect and express himself without conditions imposed by others. It's a beautiful album and a stunning statement by someone who was tired and looking for change, and the truth.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

The album reminds me a lot of Dylan's "Blood On the Tracks" - it feels like it's very personal, as if he was at a crossroads in his life/career and wondering where to go next.

[@loadedorygun]

@@Mister_SamsoniteI also think of Bruce’s Nebraska album.

[@Mister_Samsonite]

@@loadedorygun Sorry to say I've never heard that but heard great things about it. It's on my list of "must get" albums. I'm recently retired and catching up on movies & albums I should have had years ago.

[@ericelander9936]

This song so reminds me of my late wife. always tried so hard to give her everything the lyrics spoke of. She passed after a long illness. Now she is somewhere she's free. 'til we meet again.

[@cindyv1401]

I have always had a love spot for Tom Petty ❣️ R. I. P.aradise 🙏

[@kathybowles495]

One of my favorite songs from Tom Petty. I was shopping in a craft store and came upon a framed embroidered plaque with the title of this song. It hangs next to my bed.

[@nickmorrison8640]

This whole album is this, it's beautiful

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Love his folk style rock. Amazing artist, R.I.P. 🕯Thanx so much, stay groovy, Peace

[@coopm3087]

Yes I agree acoustic Tom is awesome Angel dream is another beautiful song He does 2 versions Angel dream and Angel dream 2 I prefer the 1st it's slower but they're both good Thanks so much for your reactions

[@rogerdarby908]

Thanks for the listen. I took my daughter to see The Byrds 50th Anniversary of Sweetheart Of The Rodeo and they performed this song as a tribute to Tom, who was so influenced by them. It is my daughter’s favorite petty song. Beautiful.

[@aaronhaupert3015]

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers when he's with them are treasures. I'd suggest "I Won't Back Down", "Louisiana Rain", "I Should've Known It", "Square One", "You Wreck Me", "Walls" or "Runnin' Down a Dream"

[@SK-lk3iu]

Sorry, I only know 3 of these, but love: You Wreck Me, Runnin Down a Dream, & I Won't Back Down.

[@DorkThink]

This song, and the reason behind it, is so very beautiful. This is my favorite Tom Petty song.

[@Renkk17]

You guys have to check out Tom Petty's old stuff in the 70's - You Got Lucky - Don't Do Me Like That - Jammin Me - Refugee - American Girl

[@DazednMildlyConfused]

Love Jammin Me! It's Petty's F YOU to the predatory nature of the music industry

[@DazednMildlyConfused]

add to that* The Last DJ.. his F YOU to censorship at the time

[@helindove2237]

I could listen to Tom Petty's voice all day! Thank you for this reaction.

[@robertbunker817]

First Lynyrd Skynyrd now Tom Petty holy smokes!!

[@spiderdog7599]

Being a north Florida boy I feel attached to both bands. Skynyrd was from Jacksonville and Petty from Gainesville. I grew up less than 40 miles from either band.

[@Camcodrummer]

As said..the whole album is a masterpiece.. Petty is one of the greatest story tellers of all time. You can picture the music.. sadly missed so so much..

[@midnightrambler7716]

His best album IMO.

[@Dede-fx8rn]

The last time I was in a record store, this was playing. I told the clerk I had to have it. ❤❤❤

[@tylerhackner9731]

Beautiful song! Rip Tom petty

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Song was written on the spot in about 4 minutes…stream of consciousness…Benmont(keyboards) heard him and sat next to him and joined in….Tom Petty is THR GREATEST American rocker/songwriter of all time

[@mitchellbeston1033]

You've hit another of my favourite artists so i've got nothing but thanks.

[@damonhines8187]

Yep. Just beautiful. Thank you, and enjoy your weekend, you guys, RSR fam etc. ✌🏼😉🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊

[@classicrocklady6288]

Sweet, selfless, Tom. RIP

[@michaelknight2118]

One of only a few who was still making new music when he passed. Lucky shout to have seen him a few times. He all ways sounded natural. Thank for the memory.

[@John_Locke_108]

From my favorite Petty record. Every song is a amazing.

[@loriclenney5286]

I was blessed enough to have gone to a Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers concert in the late 1970's in St. Louis, Missouri. The opening act was "The Pink Flamingos". Mr. Petty and his Extremely talented band were AWESOME! I am 61 yrs. old now and remember that night like it was last night! RIP Tom!! A Great Loss to the Rock and Roll world! I am a fan until death!

[@NaniAkana-w2g]

I love tom petty I got to see him in concert back in 2012 with my dad he was touring in Maui Hawaii

[@raymondohlsen5054]

Beautiful song. I really love wildflowers; my phone is full of pictures of wildflowers. I like sending them to my Lady friends. Mr. Jay, today I'm actually cheering for your Sooners...Tennessee sucks. Just as an aside; another song for Miss Amber: Dave Mason (you've reacted to him once before) the song is 'Sad and Deep as You'. My sister introduced me to this song many years ago and it's still one of my favorites. Blessings to all who read my comments.

[@loadedorygun]

Petty’s “Nebraska.” Stripped down, freed himself of band and label constraints, spoke to the heart and used such beautiful words to do it. I think as an album, it’s his best work. It’s hard to be this genuine and sincere and still sound cool instead of corny. Really, really, hard.

[@cynergy4]

Love Tom Petty, love this song, and love the whole album! I keep the CD in the car for long scenic drives. It befits Amber the flower child for sure. Ever sice I was a kid I have loved seeing a wildflower breaking thru the concrete. It holds a lot of meaning for me.

[@bsilvers1037]

I feel like you guys stack up the greats. 3 awesome artists today, capped by Tom!

[@christopherstmarin]

Love you guys. Been watching you all since you started. Thank you for many good nights. Also lol Amber your aging like wine the rest of us like bread

[@astrotter]

This song has always felt to me to be an homage to Joni Mitchell, especially "All I Want" from her Blue album. Pure comfort.

[@CousinWhatIsIt]

Wonderful song, wonderful album. One of my all time favorites. Love the last song on the album, "Wake Up Time".

[@rickypierce1028]

from the album Wild Flowers. every song on it is awesome!

[@SaladVonBaco]

Jay, your favorite Tom Petty song is mine as well. I love "Don't Come Around Here No More"

[@robertbunker817]

I'm still feeling damn good from the Lynyrd Skynyrd song

[@wentibbetts7833]

One of the few artists my son and I share. The day he passed, my boy called me in shock, sad, bewildered, really. It gut punched him. 😢 And gave him a deeper appreciation for Tom Petty's gifts to us all. 💞

[@GregoryP-x8q]

Thank you for this song. Reminds me what a great poet we lost far too soon.

[@BrettLesPaul]

“ Mississippi Queen” - Mountain. 70’s Banger! 🔥

[@clh35]

For all the "you guys HAVE to check out THIS Tom Petty song!" people... I did the work for you. They currently have reactions up for the following: A Face in the Crowd American Girl Breakdown Don't Come Around Here No More End of the Line (Wilburys) Free Fallin' Handle With Care (Wilburys) I Won't Back Down Last Night (Wilburys) Learning To Fly Love is a Long Road Mary Jane's Last Dance Refugee Runnin' Down a Dream Stop Draggin' My Heart Around (w/Stevie Nicks) The Waiting Wildflowers You Don't Know How It Feels For J & Amber, if you're interested... here are some of the most popular TP songs NOT listed above. I'm probably missing some. Crazy how many hits he was a part of: Don't Do Me Like That Even the Losers Here Comes My Girl I Need To Know Into the Great Wide Open Jammin' Me The Last DJ Listen To Her Heart Something in the Air (cover) You Got Lucky You Wreck Me

[@ChrisW-17]

They still need to react to Tom's other band, Mudcrutch. My favorite being I Forgive it All.

[@christophercunningham3257]

This song from Tom Petty reminds me a little bit of the type of music John Denver put out. It gives me the sound of Rocky Mountain High.

[@richardhenderson9767]

Walls No. 3, and You Wreck Me are needed reactions by Tom Petty.❤❤

[@kennyoconnor6564]

Otherworldly talent.

[@joshjacobs3906]

Next time you'd like to hit Petty, the song "Swingin'" is absolutely incredible.....and the video is great as well.....have a great rest of the weekend!!✌️

[@kevinking8513]

Amber you will love the early 70's r&b group New Birth "Wildflower". The song is so passionate I'll bet it will touch your heart so deeply.

[@MGOLD-j1d]

You Got Lucky Is a really good song with a great video. RIP Tom

[@istari0]

Tom Petty is a true icon of rock and roll! So much great music!

[@burninghops4449]

Wildflowers and Full Moon Fever are pretty close to perfect albums. Just a joy to listen to.

[@reggiebrousseau5283]

I am a huge metal fan but TPATH is my favorite band. Well tied with Slayer. I have been lucky enough to see TP 5 times in Canada. He best served live. True rock is best live.

[@thomasdempsey721]

Whole Wildflowers album is a masterpiece!! Try "Fault Lines" from the last Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers album. RIP Tom Petty,

[@ScottKornfeld]

Totally agree, and "Fault Lines" is indeed a great song. It's too bad classic rock artists can't get airplay with music after that era.

[@SoloArt8250]

A duet with Tom Petty and the heart breakers & Stevie Nicks “Stop Dragging My Heart Around” with Stan Lynch on drums 💯❤️

[@DiegoRamirez-zc7fs]

They reacted to that a while back

[@Jerry-t8y]

I watched their reaction to that, but I don't think they have listened to the other duet with Stevie Nicks, Insider, from Hard Promises.

[@SoloArt8250]

@@DiegoRamirez-zc7fs didn’t know that, thanks for that 👍🏼

[@SoloArt8250]

@@Jerry-t8y I need to look into that myself💯👌🏼

[@tonymuniz1062]

Mid 1960s California Sunshine pop. "The group is the association", and the song is "windy"

[@floydd80]

Best song ever by Tom Petty....

[@garyzimmermann7663]

Makes me think of a modern "You Are My Sunshine."

[@michaelcollier9893]

Beautiful song. Should here it live! Highly recommend his entire "Southern Accents' album, notably the title track!

[@ktotheramer]

💙💙💙💙💙 Tom Oetty is the top of my list of concerts I wish I would have gotten to. This entire album is a banger! His later work is highly underrated! Recommend “Walls” and “Good to be King.”

[@alliel9970]

might be my favourite Tom Petty song. If you've never done Walls, please consider doing that one too, it's another one of my personal favourites, and another 'softer' song of his.

[@katfishzomby]

This is in my "if they made a movie about me" soundtrack. such a great song.

[@sisterdebmac]

This whole album is great. So is the documentary film by the same name. You'll really get to know Tom in that.

[@ryancconnely]

This is my very favorite Tom Petty song from my favorite album of his. As we approach Halloween season, you should check out his fun song, "Zombie Zoo!" Much appreciation.

[@Sactown5472]

More of his laid back songs is Leave Virginia Alone, Down South, Room at the top of the World are all slower songs of his. He was an amazing writer and singer sorely missed.

[@atgdcommish608]

Yes! More Tom Petty.... try to find Tom Petty covering "Little Bit O'Soul" live -- there's a great concert clip that is not like any other version. Also check out "Jammin' Me" and "What Are You Doing in My Life" (a song inspired by his stalker) and "All the Wrong Reasons".

[@rchuckins]

This is, in my opinion, his most affecting and close to perfect album of Perry’s. The whole thing is outstanding. Very diverse, no filler.

[@RonPower]

Definitely one of my top 5 favorite Petty songs. A really great deep cut of Tom's you could check out is Walls (Circus), which was featured on a soundtrack for a movie called She's the One. Its a criminally underated Tom Petty song.

[@ChrisW-17]

I only recently learned that Lindsey Buckingham did background vocals on that song.

[@caps689]

@@ChrisW-17 Buckingham also did the arrangement for the background vocals. Petty said during this period he asked Lindsey if he wanted to co front The Heartbreakers with him since he was tired of being the lone front man. If he'd said yes Stevie probably would have killed them both. It's a shame the song got lost on a soundtrack for a small movie that even missed it's release date so the song released w/o the movie.

[@Ninnative]

Yay! I've never heard someone cover this song and it's one of my favorites from Tom ❤

[@John_Locke_108]

Anytime I see a Tom reaction I always recommend songs from this record. Doesn't matter which one. I love them all.

[@Carrie-so3ro]

This song IS so Amber. I bet that Amber was picturing her growing up years while listening to this, right Amber? There seemed to be sweet & sad remembrance of that time past, on her face. A true song for Amber's memory album.

[@michaellebow7420]

Try "The Wild One, Forever" from Tom Petty's 1st album with the Heartbreakers. It's in the style of this song and I believe it's the blueprint for the 2nd part of Tom's of career of which Wildflowers was a big part of. The Wildflowers tour was outstanding as well.

[@jenny5moon]

Love me some Tom Petty

[@bruinbro23]

His 2nd solo album, at his prime, in 40s, many genres songs in it, wrote so many songs, supposed to be double album, company said no, after he passed, his daughter and album producer together put other songs on new Wildflower album and released. This title song was opening song, set the mood, no bad songs on it. New videos of the new release songs are on KZbin. . Want to hear song on album not like any other, Wake Up Time, he talks, sings, words great, like said, at his prime. An awesome CD or Album to have.

[@chrisdrew2275]

I've nothing to add about Tom that hasn't already been said. I had an idea for your show. How about Triple Thursdays - three songs by the same artist showing different vibes or three bangers etc., Love YOUR vibe and your show!

[@bobjoy5848]

Can you do some more john Mellencamp? Been awhile. Like to suggest I need a lover. My favorite song by John. I'm sure you'll love it. ❤ thanks

[@johnmaynardable]

It's been quite a while since I made this suggestion, but I'll try it again. I have been with this channel since before Amber took part, so pretty much from the beginning. I can't afford to pay you guys on your Patreon platform, my finances are desperately tight. Over the last couple of years I have tried to get you folks to react to John Hiatt singing Have A Little Faith In Me. There is a wonderful live performance video that I think you would really enjoy. You have already listened to a cover of a John Hiatt song when you reacted to Eric Clapton and B.B. King do Riding With The King. I've seen people suggest that you react to Bonnie Raitt's cover of John Hiatt's Thing Called Love. He's a great songwriter, and singer and I really wish you would react to him singing this beautiful song.

[@Sabrina79]

I ❤ this song; it's just beautiful. You should check out "Runnin' Down a Dream" and "You Wreck Me" next!

[@bobsongs2023]

Two great perform aces. Ton Petty and Prince doing "While my guitar gently weeps." , Eric Clapton playing Princes "Purple Rain. "

[@ChrisW-17]

This song was played a lot and used as kind of an epitaph in the wake of TP's death: "You belong among the wildflowers... You belong somewhere you feel free.". 🌻🏞️🌼⛵🌅🍃

[@ChrisW-17]

Check out Tom's other band, Mudcrutch: Shady Grove, Lover of the Bayou, Bootleg Flyer, and my personal favorite I Forgive it All. The band's second album would be Tom's final recording.

Love you back. At 67, I found out Tom and I are third cousins on our moms' side. I've fallen in love with him-sisterly love. When I watch interviews and see some of the kooky things he has done, I think oh, yes you are my family and I love you so much. My mind is blown beyond what you would believe.

That Top Hat from the video DON'T COME AROUND HERE (NO MORE) was destroyed in the house fire the music industry thugs set to burn Tom Petty's house down with him in it - since he fought for his copyright royalties vs the record companies, he was a hero to most all the other musicians who sought their own independence - and that fire was a real attempt on his life.

[@bknsty14]
