Here he was overflowing with songs, all beautifully pure and powerfully realized, and all timelessly unified by his big heart and passionate soul. Yet Tom took it in his easy, happy, humble stride. Wildflowers emerged like a revelation, and was staggering to behold. Yet there’s a gentle calm at its core, a sense of hope and even joy, which was especially projected by its final song. It is a phenomenal tour de force of songwriting greatness exploding in every direction at once.
