Album Description: 2008 release includes bonus CD. In August 2007, the original members of Mudcrutch reunited and recorded an album for release in 2008. Mudcrutch contains 14 old and new tracks. "We would play and then we would just talk about the old days," says Tom Leadon, who left the band in 1972. Mudcrutch was a rock band from Gainesville, Florida best known for being the forerunner of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Tom Petty's first band, The Sundowners changed their name to The Epics, and around 1970, The Epics became Mudcrutch. Much like The Beatles at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, Mudcrutch served as the house band at Dub's Diner in their hometown of Gainesville, Florida.

Rating: - Mudcrutch Was Great
I'll take from older artists anytime. This Rap crap And Punk Are'nt even music. That's why more and more of the older artist are making comebacks. Mudcruth was great.
Rating: - package is not worth a toot!!
love the product. hate the way the lp was packaged. it was just an album thrown in a box without any padding for protection. i know it could at least have been padded with some old newspapers. thank you and i know you can do better next time.
Rating: - Double Vinyl and Audiophile CD
I'm not a big Tom Petty fan but was talked into taking a chance on this and am I glad. First, the mastering on this release is just phenomenal. All the dynamics are there and music is just crystal clear. This is how all releases should sound.
For me, the music didn't immediately hit me. But it has only taken a few listens for it to really grow on me. The slower pace of these songs, as compared to the Heartbreaker stuff I know, took a while to get used to. I'm really happy with this purchase. Both the LPs and CD sound great.
Rating: - The perfect audiophile experience for Petty fans
Revisitng his past revitalized Tom Petty's songwriting muscle. While he's released a number of strong albums over the last couple of years reuniting with his original band Mudcrutch (which featured Mike Campbell and Ben Tench--the only members that joined Petty's Heartbreakers when Shelter indicated they were only interested in him)inspired him to write a strong batch of songs for the first "offical" recording by his previous band. For those fans who haven't heard anything from the album there's a stronger country-rock feel to this (more like The Byrds around "Untitled" period)than previous Petty ... Read More
