I just heard an ad for the new Mudcrutch album on my local classic rock station, 99.7 WRFX, in Charlotte, NC. They have the album up on their website to listen to. Here's the link: http://www.wrfx.com/cc-common/mfeatures/mudcrutchSP/ (http://www.wrfx.com/cc-common/mfeatures/mudcrutchSP/)

[agirl]

Thanks Ref for posting this!!

Yahoo! I'll learn the songs by Saturday. Sounds like a great dance band! I told Crash to bring his dancin' shoes. We're going in tie dye and acting like the old hippies we are!!!!! Wish I hadn't shaved my legs last night!

[Echosoftom]

I've been listening to this all day. I can't wait till they release the album, even though we've heard all the songs. :003:

[Katie]

FAAAAAAANTASTIC! Thank you so much! This will definitely make finishing this paper that's due tomorrow a little more enjoyable ;)

[Beamish]

That was fun ! I just played some of the songs here at work- thanks for the link !

[Mary Jane 49]

Thanks Ref !!

[Marion]

Don't they sound heavenly? I love every single song. I have a feeling this album is gonna be a BIG deal!

[Marion]

I am really beginning to dig Queen of The Go-Go Girls. It's a nice song!

[martin03345]

Orphan of the Storm, June Apple, Bootleg Flyer and Queen of the Go-Go Girls are my favorite

[PumpkinBumpkin]

That is so awesome! Thanks!

[Refugee]

I can't stop playing Crystal River or Bootleg Flyer. Shit, I can't stop playing any of the songs, LOL! :p :heart:

[Sweet Little Queen]

Thank you!!!
I playing all song again, again and again. And my favorite is Crystal River .

[WildflowerNJ]

Wow!!! Thanks, Ref!!

[Starfish]

This is just so great!!!! My favorite changes daily, lol.

[kira]

Crash and I listened several times last night. He says "Shady Grove" was the song The Darlings (really The Dylans) played on an early version of the Andy Griffith show.

[Nylle]

I love this recording - so great to get to listen to it at work today. Crystal River is lovely. My favorite from the beginning remains The Wrong Thing to Do - man, did this song rock live.

[Flower]

thank you Ref, u rock!

[Echosoftom]

I can't even tell you what my favorite is anymore. I LOVE this album so much and I can't stop listening to it over and over and over....

Kudos to 99.7 WRFX in Charlotte, NC. They Rock! :045:

[emmie]

So far I've only heard one quick snip of one song on this album.

[fandlinvegas]

Thanks so much for posting this, Ref!

[Nylle]

Emmie, it's nice to see you back. Hope you are feeling better!

[Griswold]

Great album. I love how "loose" Petty sounds on this. It's very casual and they aren't trying hard.

It's great to hear Campbell and Tench not so structured within the songs. No pressure to write hits, no formatting.

This has some of Petty's best storytelling too.

Wildflowers will always be the opus,but post 1994:

Songs like Swingin', Dreamville, Blue Sunday, Have, Love Will Travel, Nightdriver, Down South, Big Weekend, etc; those songs all paint a cool picture.

That kind of thing is all over this album.

Some great one liners on this.

Does anyone know if these are the songs he refers to at the end of Paul Zollo's bio from Fall 2005? I am just curious if Petty decided to put them into this side project or if this is a separate batch.

I don't expect anyone to know, but you have to ask to find out, right? Thanks.

[KansasPettyFan]

I have a different favorite every day! HAHA Love the whole thing. :)

[Rebel without a clue]

God I wish I saw this before the concert last night.

Orphan of the Storm and Lover of the Bayou are my favorites, but Christ doesn't Crystal River remind you a bit of It's Good To Be King?

[KansasPettyFan]

Orphan of the Storm and Lover of the Bayou are my favorites, but Christ doesn't Crystal River remind you a bit of It's Good To Be King?

Not for me at all. I think this is one of the most beautiful pieces of music he has ever done. :045:

[Griswold]

God I wish I saw this before the concert last night.

Orphan of the Storm and Lover of the Bayou are my favorites, but Christ doesn't Crystal River remind you a bit of It's Good To Be King?

Yes, it does, but only somewhat.

Each has the meandering melody (in a good way) and are extended pieces.

The tempos are close and the personality of the songs are similar. All this considered, this one is more trippier and "bright". Different vocal delviery from Petty too.

I see what you are saying, but that's like saying Free Girl Now is like Amnerican Girl.

Not at all. I cannot stand It's Good To Be King, I will run to the potty when they play that song live. But...with Crystal River, you couldn't get me to move if you tried. :)

[Griswold]

It's Good to Be King is a classic. Wow. Easily a top gem on Widlflowers.

Do you always need a 3:30 3 chord rock song?

[Refugee]

Nope, didn't you see where I said I love Crystal River?

Sorry, I just can't stand IGTBK, never have, never will. Glad there is a skip button on my cd player when playing Wildflowers. :003:

Saw it. Just confused. Both are similar in structure and tempo. Both meander with a great melody.

No biggie, just interesting.

[Pettyjunkie]

I can't stand IGTBK either Ref. The skip button is a great thing for that one. :)

God I can't wait till this album comes out.

[martin03345]

I don't think Crystal River sounds anything like IGTBK but it's probably my least favorite of the songs on the album. Give me Orphan of the Storm, June Apple, Queen of the Go-Go Girls and Bootleg Flyer anyday

[the_refugees]

We're going to try "The Wrong Thing to Do" at our show this Friday....I've almost got the words memorized :)

Shady Grove will have to wait for a few more practice sessions, although I've got Leadon's acoustic part pretty much down.

For you guitar players out there the secret is capo 3, DADGAD tuning. Man I love bluegrass.

[Refugee]

^ Hey! My namesake band! Welcome to Mudcrutch Farm.

You guys have a great sound! :)

[WildflowerNJ]

Welcome to the Farm, the_refugees! Have a great show this Friday! :b55:

[Griswold]

Stunned at the lack of love for IGTBK. It's the centerpiece on Petty's best album, in my opinion.

[Nylle]

^ it's not the album version, it's the live one. It was lonnnnng and some of us got a little tired of it. Mostly we just like to torture Ref about it though.

[Refugee]

^ LOL! :045:

I love the song, especially live!!! Don't listen to those people...LOL

I happen to know the owner of this forum likes the song too... But he's on vacation....lol
