Very few bands take thirty-five years to release their debut album, but Mudcrutch are no ordinary band.
Originally named The Sundowners and then The Epics, the band changed their name to Mudcrutch around 1970. When the band split up, Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers cohorts Mike Campbell and Benmont Trench achieved worldwide success. Now they've reunited with guitarist Tom Leaden and drummer Randall Marsh.
"I made a commitment at the beginning of this project that I wanted it to be Mudcrutch done as it was back in the day. I really wanted it to be that band," explained Petty. " But why now? "I guess I started thinking that we left some music back there, and it was time to go and get it."
Petty's idea of reuniting the band soon came to fruition. Tom Leadon, the brother of Bernie Leadon (previously of The Flying Burrito Brothers and The Eagles), had spent several years giving guitar lesson while Randall Marsh had been playing in local bands.
The album was subsequently recorded live with no overdubs in a recording studio built in The Heartbreakers' rehearsal space. The result is a pure, energetic collection that highlights selected covers (David Dudley's `Six Days on the Road', The Byrds' `Lover of the Bayou', bluegrass staple `Shady Grove') with strong originals from Petty, Campbell, Leadon and Tench. `Mudcrutch' is an album that stands out due to the powerfully natural vocals harmonies of Petty and Leadon, as well as Leadon and Campbell's complimentary guitar work.
Notable original compositions include the infectious groove of `Topanga Cowgirl', Tench's `This is a Good Street' and the energetic Campbell/Petty rocker `Bootleg Flyer'.
