Mudcrutch

This CD is an instant classic. Jump in Mr Peabody's Wayback Machine and travel back to 1975 in Gainesville Florida to see the embyro of what later became Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. The 3 that made it big, recombine with the two left behind (by decisons of the record industry) and record the great tunes of that era. Instant classic fits and TP fans will fall imediately in love with this CD. TP & Heartbreakers never do a long jam - but Crystal River (my favorite) goes about 10 minutes. Since I live in SF, was lucky to see Mudcrutch live at the Fillmore. The CD is next best thing. While listening - imagine Tom and intire band with great big smiles on their faces the entire concert enjoying the sweet memories.

If you like the early Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, you'll probably like this one.

Wonderful sound from the first track straight through to the end. My favorite immediately was Crystal River - a long well done jam that reminded me of the music I listened to in the 70's. Great Stuff! I wish more music was produced like this - a bit raw, real and flowing.

Not too much a stretch from modern-day Petty sounds; if you liked the last couple of Petty albums this is right up your alley.

Fantastic new album of Tom Petty and his old friends (Mudcrutch)
This is a must have If you like country music.
Great guitarwork of Mike Campbell and Tom Leadon

Scare easy and crystal river is a typical Petty song.
Very nice is that Benmont also sings a song.
