Exactly like those Neil Young epics-that was the vibe I was getting.{#Doh}

It's exactly the sound and music from rock'n'roll animal... nice...

So there is something else to Mudcrutch other than their rubbish version of Matty Groves (oops, sorry, "Shady Grove" I meant). I rather like this and its gentle bumbley melodic style. A pleasant way of passing some time and great to work to.

No Tom Petty fan, that is why I am so surprised at how good this is!{#Clap}

Well I certainly enjoyed the unhurried groove of that one.

I'll take a contrarian view on this one:  it's a definite snoozer. As in, puts you in a coma - if you're not already herbally induced. Just way too long, waaay too meandering and, yeah, there's Tom Petty's whiny voice.  Never liked it.  Still don't.  He's just one of the folks I never could appreciate.  He's got longevity, though, so that speaks to his talent, I guess.

I love when music can transport me somewhere else. This song chills me out and does that perfectly. While I love when Petty is rockin, this song is too pretty to ignore.

Well, I can feel myself passing into a catatonic state the longer this goes on. Tom Petty does some super-rocking numbers which really get the feet tapping, but he also comes out with narcoleptic turkeys like this one. IMO naturally

I am not a big fan of Tom Petty, but I really like this tune.  I gave it a 10.  It figures.  This only gets a lukewarm 6.6 which is for him a low rating on RP.

This is just amazing.  I love the lengthy instrumental interlude - reminiscent of "Layla."  In my opinion, this song could go on for twenty minutes and I'd just drift along with it, a huge grin on my face and about five cats snuggled around me, purring and drooling. Mmmmm....{#Sunny}

Gotta laugh - I was listening to this song and thinking it was far too short... I guess I am a dork. Let's form a club. We'll call it the "Dork Side of the Moon Club." {#Lol}
