More than 30 years after Tom Petty co-founded the pre-Heartbreakers Mudcrutch, the band finally issued its debut album this spring - and the self-titled record debuted Top 10 (#8) and won widespread critical acclaim. The Mudcrutch Extended Play Live EP features live renditions of three songs from the earlier album, plus a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis classic, High School Confidential.
