Editorial Review:

"I just finished a record with Mudcrutch, my old band before the Heartbreakers. I am over the moon about it. I couldn't have hoped for it to be as good as it came out." In summer 2007, Tom Petty reunited Mudcrutch, consisting of himself, Heartbreakers Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, original bandmember Tom Leadon, and Randall Marsh, who joined when Mudcrutch first went to Los Angeles in search of a record deal in the early 70s. Now, more than 30 years later, Mudcrutch finally has its debut album. With new Petty songs and a handful of covers, the self-titled disc is both classic rock and a rock classic.

WE, the consumers, want to be happy. Write about FUN stuff. The topics, subjects of these 3 songs, mess-up the feel of this album. If edited we... more info

uggg...:

They should have made this a "Tom Petty" cd to begin with. I was not real impressed. Kind of dissappointed that so many of the songs sounded just like previous Tom Petty songs.

Country-Rock & Roll:

Mudcrutch 08 defines a new genre, country-rock & roll. You'll hear some some of the finest country-rock with a few uptemp rock & rollers and one jam band song. Playing songs from great tempoed country-rock to even a hillbilly jazz number, Mudcrutch has more than excelled. Clarence White would be very proud of what Mudcrutch has accomplished on this recording. Many hats off to Petty and the boys for producing one of the finest country rock recordings to come out in years. Just one other thing, with... more info

Under Cover Petty:

Not a bad song on the CD, from foot stomping to belly rubbing songs. If you're a Petty fan you'll love this one with his original gang.
