Mudcrutch

[BombaySapphire3]

Anyone hear the new album "Mudcrutch "..a band Tom Petty and some of the Heartbreakers formed back in 1970 pre- Heartbreakers?It also includes Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench so needless to say the musicianship is stellar .I t was apparently recorded in just 10 days and has a great organic feel to it .It's an awesome listen for anyone that is a fan of Americana music,The Byrds and The Flying Burrito Brothers..it has many standouts including the single "Scare Easy" and the sublime nearly 10 minute jam "Crystal River' and "Orphan of the Storm" is a very touching Katrina inspired song..This album does not seem to be getting that much press and it should ..It is very strong and one of the best I have heard released yet in 2008..a real surprise IMO.
