Tom Petty Album Guide

|Mudcrutch (2008) -- Maybe it was autumn years nostalgia that inspired the issue of a Mudcrutch debut LP some 34 years after they first formed, but Tom Petty's swagger manages to rival his work as a younger man. Like any geezer jam session, it opens with group vocals on a comfortable traditional, "Shady Grove," but quickly rights the ship with a slightly menacing single, "Scare Easy." The country inflections and wilting guitars that hold things together are played with cool sophistication, likely the answer to the prayers of Allman Brothers fans in Petty's camp.
