Watched this over a couple of nights. Excellent documentary if you haven’t seen it.
"In early 2020, a collection of 16mm film from 1993-95 was discovered in the archive of legendary artist Tom Petty. The film was shot while Tom was on a prolific songwriting streak for years making what he intended to be a double album called Wildflowers. Tom Petty was known for being reclusive about his personal life and his creative process. “Somewhere You Feel Free” allows you to spend 90 minutes immersed in the candid and musically rich world of Tom’s creativity as he makes his first album with legendary producer Rick Rubin. With collaborators providing unrivaled access and featuring never before seen footage captured during the making of Wildflowers - Tom’s personal favorite album.
The full documentary is available on Tom Petty's YouTube Channel."

I have the original single CD 90's release. From the documentary I learned it was originally envisioned as a double album, so ordered the Wildflowers & All The Rest Deluxe set released in 2020. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08G5FLGGW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
4 CDs w/the unreleased second disc. Other 2 CD's are home recordings and a live set. Original LP has been remastered and sounds quite nice. Have listened to discs 1-3 and not disappointed w/the $31 cost. Also, nice/quality book(let) package that's a good read. Spinning disc 3 as I type this.
Too bad he's no longer w/us....

Interesting documentary, a bit long but I enjoyed it. "Too bad he's no longer w/us...". I seem to say/think this every time I spin some Petty.Yep, my name really is Bob.
