Without the Heartbreakers driving the beat and adding sonic layers to the songs there’s a little space to fill. Other songs, however, require a bit more nurturing and love to come into bloom acoustically.

He wrote many of his songs on an acoustic guitar. Tom Petty left a legacy of iconic music that is worth exploring from every angle. Not Petty’s “Wildflowers” approach allows the songs to go somewhere they feel free.

Not Petty’s goal in arranging Petty’s songs for two acoustic guitars is to shine a light on the sly brilliance and deceptive simplicity at the heart of every Tom Petty song.
