Hear the new Mudcrutch CD '2', on this week's Four Corners Feature CD

Mudcrutch was initially formed in 1970 in Gainesville, Florida and is the precursor to the legendary Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. In 1974, Mudcrutch signed a record deal, moved to Los Angeles and released a single, to very little fanfare. The band broke up soon after and could have settled for being a legend, but instead Mudcrutch rose from the ashes in 2008 to remind us that the golden age of rock and roll bands still have a few treasures to unearth. Their debut made some thirty-three years later, was an unexpected hit. KSUT will feature their new follow up album '2', in its entirety, Friday, July 1 at noon. 

Longtime Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fans will enjoy hearing lead vocals by Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench, as every member of the band wrote and sings at least one song on the new album. It also includes seven originals written by Tom Petty. Tom Leadon on guitar and Randall Marsh on drums round out the lineup. Plus, we like the cover.
