![]() So my feeling about it, from what he told me, was that album kind of left a bad taste in his mouth, and he wished he could have gone back and really done it properly. He didn’t really get the chance to put the time and effort into the finishing of it that he wished to, because there was a deadline they had to hit to make the movie. “One of the things about this album we knew was that Tom was never that happy with the way it came out,” Ulyate says. ![]() Although they never spent any amount of time discussing how it could be reimagined, with all the oxygen in their discussions about that era going toward how to update and expand the beloved “Wildflowers” album of ’94, he says the star made comments indicating he felt the soundtrack involved some compromises that placed it below the top tier of the Heartbreakers catalog. Ulyate says that Petty himself was a little more down on the “She’s the One” album. And we didn’t have as many original songs on it, but that was kind of fun for us, to do some covers, and having a film (to work with) for Tom, I think, was fun. “No, I never felt like it was diminished or perceived as a weaker album, per se, compared to our other albums,” says Campbell. Back then, the album served as the soundtrack to an Edward Burns romantic dramedy that tends to be, shall we say, less fondly recalled than the music Petty provided for it. The full title of the new release is “Angel Dream (Songs and Music from the Motion Picture ‘She’s The One’),” with a subtitle that served as the full original name of a collection released in substantially different form in 1996. The 2021 version of the album adds four never-before-released tracks - and also tacks on an extra minute of jamming to one of the existing numbers - while excising a handful of film instrumentals, as well as losing three tunes that got officially shuffled over to last year’s “All the Rest.” This fresh revamp of a 25-year-old Petty & the Heartbreakers album remains in single-CD or one-LP form, still compact by virtue of playing musical chairs with some of the songs.

If that collection was a six- or nine- or 10-course meal, depending on how far you want to stretch the analogy, then the newly released album “Angel Dream” might be considered a quick-and-easy nice surprise of a dessert. Last year saw the arrival of the mother of all Tom Petty boxed sets, “Wildflowers and All the Rest,” available in editions that extended to as much as five CDs and nine LPs of mostly unreleased music.
