ANOTHER PEEK AT PETTY'S WILDFLOWERS
The third previously unreleased song from Tom Petty’s Wildflowers & All the Rest, “Leave Virginia Alone,” drops today along with a new video co-directed by Mark Seliger and Tom’s daughter Adria Petty.
Tom wrote “Leave Virginia Alone” in January 1993, very early in the evolution of Wildflowers. The track is the set's lead single.
The video stars actress/dancer Casimere Jollette (Netflix’s forthcoming Tiny Pretty Things) and was shot in Connecticut as well as in and around Seliger’s studio in New York City.
“We really wanted the song to do the heavy lifting in this video, and sort of step out of the way and just give it something to breathe with,” Adria told David Fricke on SiriusXM’s Tom Petty Radio.
Warner will release Wildflowers & All the Rest on 10/16.
