One of my very favourite virtuoso pianists is a Canadian/German guy named Michael Kaeshammer. The guy absolutely tears the roof off every time I’ve seen him live and what Benmont does here really reminds me of his playing. It’s technically superb, rhythmically perfect, and so, so, so melodic! As much as I love hearing a perfectly-crafted Mike Campbell guitar solo, it makes my heart sing possibly even more when we get something like this from Benmont, probably because the instances of his solos are fewer and further between. Long Live Benmont Tench.
Today’s guest conversation sees the return of the only other Englishman to appear on the podcast so far, Will Porteous, who also has a brilliant new song out that we’re going to talk about. Be advised that there is some profanity in this conversation as Will and I always seem to default to our two-mates-chatting-in-a-pub-forgetting-that-it’s-being-recorded mode of conversation…. It’s always a pleasure and a really good laugh chatting to Will so I hope you enjoy our conversation about this week’s song, Wildflowers in general, and beyond!

A last very special thanks to Paul Zollo. Without his book, "Conversations with Tom Petty", this podcast wouldn't be nearly as much fun to research. And further thanks to Warren Zanes for his outstanding book "Petty, the Biography".
