The long awaited debut album from Mudcrutch, recorded in just two weeks last August, will be released on Reprise Records on April 29, 2008. Mudcrutch features Tom Petty, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Tom Leadon, and Randall Marsh.
In the early 70’s, they were heroes in their hometown of Gainesville, Florida. Mudcrutch seemed poised for more. But the band never cracked the national music scene or made a full album. Now, more than 30 years later and quite unexpectedly, the Mudcrutch story continues.
In addition to the release of the album on April 29, the band will undertake a short tour of intimate California venues starting on April 12 in Malibu and ending with a four-night run at the 500 capacity Troubadour in Los Angeles. Credit: Tom Petty & Mudcrutch.
