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.

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}

Florida is not the kind of place where the landscape hits you across the face with its drama, but when you get to know its subtlety, it has a beauty that is unique and incredible.  It is too bad that development has ruined so much of it, but then we are over-running the planet.  The places that haven't been spoiled by human encroachment are few and far, far away.
 
phil, you hit it on the head.  I'm a long-time Gainesvillian, and have seen magical natural areas become ruined.  The completely spring-fed Ichetucknee River used to be crystal clear throughout its run...now there's algae and cloudiness from various underground sources that have been polluted by runoff from nearby cattle operations.  It's still beautiful, but not the pristine paradise it once was.

Mudcrutch's music is some of my favorite.  Petty was/is a magician.

Every mosquito, every rattlesnake, every cane break - everything

All we need is one more damn developer tearing her heart out
All we need is one more Mickey Mouse
Another golf course, another country club, another gated community

If my grandfather could see her now, he'd lay down and die
Cause every minute every second every hour, every day, Lord she's slipping away

I enjoy reading the stories other listeners write down here. Like the one by philbertr, few lines below. I was doing something else, reading in the next room when I felt attracted to this long Crystal River tune. Had to sit down and see who was singing and playing : I am glad I did, this is another CD to add to the to-buy list. Having a part of such a different world in a big city opposite side of the world and yet sharing the feeling. Nice... Music is magic

I believe this planet was created by a higher power for mankind which incomperhensible for us to fully understand. It's not all doom and gloom, most damage is reverible. The planet is well capable of healing it's self in most cases, so unlatch those arms from that tree!!!!
 

Off topic from this great song but:

Damage is reversable? Extinction is not reversable - and many, many animals that roamed this planet are now extinct thanks to the damage mankind has wrought on the face of this planet.

philbertr, you hang right onto that tree.
