  • Mudcrutch Släpper Live-EP
    2008-11-11 08:00 CET Mudcrutch släpper live-EP Mudcrutch, det legendariska Floridabandet som består av Tom Petty, Tom Leadon, Randall Marsh, Mike Campbell och Benmont Tench kommer att släppa en liveEP 19 november. Extended Play Live kommer att släppas digitalt, på CD samt på en 180g High Performance vinyl. Bandet genomförde en kort men mycket populär turné bestående av små, intima klubbspelningar i Kalifornien i april, där man bland annat sålde ut sex kvällar på Troubadour i Los Angeles. Extended Play Live innehåller fyra låtar som spelades in under den turnén - bland dessa en dramatisk femtonminuters version av bandets mästerverk Crystal River, inspelad live på Troubadour. Alla fyra låtar kan just nu höras via streaming på www.mudcrutchmusic.com. Mudcrutchs självbetitlade debutalbum släpptes 25 april i år och gick i USA rakt in på Billboardlistans åttondeplats. Albumet rosades av kritiker över hela världen, och bland andra beskrev Rolling Stone plattan som "instant classic". Under tidigt 70-tal var medlemmarna i Mudcrutch hjältar i sin egen hemstad, Gainesville, FL och verkade ämnade för stordåd. En radda festivaler som hölls i deras högkvarter, Mudcrutch Farm, drog fans från hela norra Florida och så långväga ifrån som South Georgia. Tyvärr förbjöd de lokala myndigheterna festivalerna men, som den musikaliska succé de var, historierna om festivalerna är många och cirkulerar fortfarande lokalt. Mudcrutch flyttade sedermera till Kalifornien för att bygga vidare på den karriär de grundat hemmavid och släppte en singel på Shelter Records - Depot Street b/w Wild Eyes. Men bandet fick aldrig stå på de stora, inhemska scenerna eller spela in någon fullängdare.
