Mudcrutch

Before Tom Petty moved to L.A. in the mid-'70s and found fame with the Heartbreakers, he was the singer/bassist for country-rockers Mudcrutch in his hometown of Gainesville, Florida. Three decades later, Petty and Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell (also original Mudcrutchers) got back together with Tom Leadon and Randall Marsh for a Mudcrutch reunion that resulted in an excellent 2008 album (the band's first!) and a short tour.
