Mudcrutch - "Lover of the Bayou" new official video

[@todd11561]

Mike Campbell is an outstanding guitarist ........... tasty licks. He gets great tone from whatever guitar he happens to be playing. He has not received the accolades that he deserves for his masterful playing.

[@benkkonzsella8544]

I also agree with that 👍, 73 years young 🧒

[@normatible9795]

Well, he has. In the 80s he was credited with the music of BOYS OF SUMMER that don henley made to number 1 hit. Had awards, mtv video awards. That was a mike campbell music he gave to don since tom petty 's album was now full ( he actually rejected boys of summer ) . Lyrics were by don henley tho

[@pschobilly1964]

It's too cool that Tom came back to his friends and put this together. That speaks volumes about the kind of person he is. He came back for his friends.

[@DavidSmith-ss1cg]

Tom didn't do it entirely for his friends; he said that he thought that Mudcrutch was a "good little band." He thought that they had never reached their potential. And he was right, and proved it, by writing good new songs, and recording and touring them. It all worked out, so it seems, and we're lucky to have videos.

[@based_prophet]

He came back for all of us he was a true gent n playing bass lol wth

Mike Campbell may be the most underrated rock lead guitarist ever.

[@paulmcconkey637]

I agree completely. It's because he never tries to steal the limelight. He just fits in!!

[@evelynbaron2004]

heh you guys I would love to hear a podcast with Mike Campbell, because introvert that he is, he really can explain those brilliant things that happened in that once in a lifetime under-rated band; e.g. the mandolin he played in It'll all work out … took me days to figure out what that unearthly sound was … Appalacians? Indonesia? Mike Campbell and those lyrics .. eyes so blue they looked like weather, in the context of deep regret. No-one will speak ill of Dylan and some commentators have dismissed Tom Petty as a minor Bob Dylan; this of course is ignorant discourse. Best wishes to both of you

[@andysurvival346]

[@eudymaverickmentor]

Not underrated at all.

[@belindahitchcock9972]

Absolutely

[@lorraineklimek1677]

This is an example of why Tom Petty was always considered so "cool". This great rendition of Lover of the Bayou and that hat! Mudcrutch was one hell of a band.

[@starvinfolkartist2950]

went down to Dub's Lounge in Gainesville. the place was packed, the voices of heartbreakers rang out singin' songs, playin' guitars, makin' us happy,makin' us feel glad, can't stop that band, here they go again They're Mudcrutch

[@bertvanstaveren3178]

This is Southern Swamp at its best. Biyrds did it very well, Tom made it perfect. Terrific !!

[@KennethWilliamElkington]

IS Tom's voice just perfect for this Delta-down-and-dirty blues, or what?

[@AudioFileZ]

Caught Mudcrutch at The Ryman this week (May 31, 2016) and it was, predictably, a fantastic show. Wished it would have lasted longer than 2-hours it was so good! Makes listening to both Mudcrutch albums even better now though. This is the best American music today along with The Heartbreakers. Thank you Tom, Mike, Benmont, Tom, & Randall.

[@hollispencheff5151]

AGREE!..

[@Mamaofthehooligan]

I also agree their music endores cause of the quality of it you put quality in you get quality out & we as fans have been grateful all these years for it they've got another album out now simply called 2

[@cbyam1300]

What a great piece of music, by great musicians, It seems unfair to single out one of them for special attention, but I have to say how brilliant Mike is... his guitar playing is superb yet effortless. Fantastic.

[@barbaramccroy8663]

Chris Bingham trust me , it’s ok to single Mike Campbell out for being excellent at his craft and giving the audience everything he has when he plays. I don’t think the rest of the other band members would be offended fir recognizing Mike Campbell’s excellence, even Tom Petty has talked about Mike Campbell being underrated and so strong at his craft to where he admitted that Mike over the years has had to show him a thing or two he also said Mike Campbell is the man that “does it all”!✌️🧚🏻‍♂️

[@benkkonzsella8544]

Just class the whole group, RIP Tom 🙏

[@tantraman10]

Whenever Petty does McGuinn/Byrds, I love it!!! He pours passion into his playing that shows his love for McGuinn and Co.!

[@mcquoid1r1]

He reveres Roger McGuinn, so do I.

[@sheridangmail1277]

Me too, had every Byrds album in the 60's - saw them in the UK, met Roger McGuinn, wonderful times

[@cityzen2717]

When the Byrds 1st album came in summer '65, I immediately bought a Ludwig Super Classic with Zildjian cymbals, formed a band, and started playing.

[@RonnieTheSim]

I agree @tantraman10 . One recording that always puts my heart in my throat is the sublime Oct.16 1992 My Back Pages, by an ensemble of gods and Wilburys -- with Mr. McGuinn and Mr. Petty taking verses 1 and 2.

[@tantraman10]

I saw the Byrds with Clarence White do this in Tampa back around '70 or '71, and still nobody has ever played like Clarence White. But I'll do y'all one better--I used to love hearing Mudcrutch live in Gainesville when I was in college. They were the best band in town, and .... I have other stories about them--like free concerts at the Mudcrutch Farm....

Mike Campbell is one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

[@lealeelovely5612]

The really cool thing about Mudcrutch / Heartbreakers is that they are friends for forty years or more. That is awesome, cause they are doing this song because of their long friendship and history + Roger Guin who co wrote this tune, and turn turn turn‎ from his band The Byrds

[@abbgt]

This recording session looks like they had an absolute blast. What a fine record. One of the best in Petty's catalogue.

[@diamondlotus3]

Awesome as always! Incredible guitar, great lyrics, love Tom Petty and respect him so much for having the balls to be his own man as an artist and not knuckle under to the music worlds corporate crap! Love you Tom!

[@tobinkoch4064]

Back in 1974 I hitchhiked from Monterey, CA to Gainesville, FL for a free Country Joe and the Fish Halloween concert. The opening act was this new group Mudcrutch. They did a bunch of Byrds covers that were amazing and stole the show for me.

[@meisnow23]

I think that Mudcrutch left Gainesville in April of 1974 on their way to CA. Maybe the concert was in 1973.

[@PhantomMenaced]

Love this song and Tom's hat! Also loving the face Tom makes at 4:04!!!

Written by Roger McGuinn/ Jacques Levy and originally released by the Byrds on the "Untitled" double album 1970. I played the shit out that record.
