"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.

Summary: If you want rock, look somewhere else. This is country!
Comment: Listen to the song samples first before you buy...
This album was "recommended" to me by Amazon.com presumably based on my history of purchases. Well Amazon, you got it dead wrong. This is 100% country, and if you like that, fine, but if you don't, run don't walk.

Summary: TAKE 3 songs off, and it's perfect
Comment: "Bootleg flyer " ??? What a stupid song. Who wants to think about that in there head......driving down the road. What about " Orpan of the storm " ?? Now there's a happy tune ( YA, RIGHT !! ). And why is Tom Petty singing about, what sounds like some dark, evil angel, in the song " SCARE EASY " This is not a cheerful selection of songs, for the rest of the album. 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 would have a great cd. I've noticed that in the last last 3-4 albums by tom petty, that it's not the sound or voice of his songs that are bad, but the SUBJECT of the songs. There not wrote about something interesting. FIX IT. (p.s ) The other songs are really good.

Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: Summary: Country-Rock & Roll
Comment: 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 all the warped political and social views these days, thanks for stickin' to makin' great music without the BS commentary.
Customer Rating: Summary: Under Cover Petty
Comment: 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.
