Rating: - TAKE 3 songs off, and it's perfect
"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.

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.

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.

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.

For an album made in 10 days it has good sound quality and the music is also of good quality, what more could you ask for? A little bit of the "Heartbreakers" sound is there but what I hear is something more down to earth almost like a great garage band playing and the neighbors are opening their windows instead of closing them.
