Mud Crutch: Lover of the Bayou. Great Mix.

Tom Petty and the boys as raw as ever. I see Mr. Petty is playing the bass (Rickenbacher) on this one. Mike Campbell's guitar playing is great as ever. He says so much with so little. I love it![lol]

 

Edit...I jus noticed the containers with all the guitars in them. Do these guys have a collection or what!

thats a cool tune' date=', boy that ol tele looks like it has a few miles on it eh !!![/quote']

 

Mikes original 50's Broadcaster looks even worse.

 

These guys have one of the coolest rehearsal studios ever. There's literally everything you need is to make music is right there.

They document it in the Traveling Wilburys song, "Cool Dry Place." Great song if you ever get to hear it.

 

Well I woke up this morning

The place was such a wreck

I couldn't reach the bathroom

Thought I'd better clear the deck

I tried to call the lawyer

And asked him what to do

He referred me to his doctor

Who referred me back to you

And when you checked the manual

You kept in side the case

It said 'put it in a cool dry place'

 

I drove around the city

Looking for a room

That was high above the water

Where my things could be in tune

There was no one to help me

Nobody even cared

I had to go through hell

To get those things up there

I paid my first subscription

Then I joined the idle race

and they said 'store it in a cool dry place'

 

I got guitar, basses, amplifiers and drums

Accordions and mandolins and things that sometimes hum

Cymbals and harmonicas, capos by the score

And lots of things in boxes laying all around the floor

 

Some places they get mildew

And others get too hot

Some places are so damp that

Everything you got just rots

All kinds of condensation

A direct result of rains

There's not much compensation

When everything's been stained

Some have sentimental value that

Cannot be erased

Go store it in a cool dry place

 

We got solids and acoustics

And some from plywood board

And some are trimmed in leather

And some are made with gourds

There's organs and trombones

And reverbs we can use

Lots of dx-7s

And old athletic shoes

I bought a great big building

That took up one whole block

I made an inventory

Of all the things in stock

The place was getting longer

I was up all night

I used up all my pencils

But I went on despite

The blurring of my vision

The sweat upon my face

I've got to put this stuff away

I mustn't leave a trace

The landlord's breathing down my neck

He says it's a disgrace

So I said 'put it in a cool, dry, place.'

I'm a big Tom Petty fan and I've been playing some of their stuff lately since I got my Tele. I can get sweet Mike Campbell tones with the Tele + ac30 combo. I think that's what he mainly uses??

 

Either way I watched this a few times and I love what Campbell plays starting around 3:30. Man those are some sweet licks...

 

Cool post Caliman.
