Confusion Wheel, a previously unreleased Tom Petty song, written in 1994, has been released as a preview of the forthcoming Wildflowers & All The Rest album, due for release on October 16 via Warners Records.
It’s the first song to be made available from the set’s second disc, which features unreleased material.
Warners say that the track “eerily captures the uncertainty of 2020 if it were written yesterday and somehow twists it with infinite hope.”
Wildflowers & All The Rest follows The Best Of Everything – a career-spanning collection which launched in March this year.
The Best Of Everything was compiled by Petty’s family and his band members and contained “personal favourites and landmark tracks” including I Won’t Back Down, Learning To Fly, American Girl and Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, which Petty recorded with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks.
