Commentsby Mudcrutch. Recorded live to 2-track in Benmont's parent's living room - Gainesville, FL. Mudcrutch's first pro recording, from 1973. "That's me, Mike, Tom Leadon and Randall Marsh on the drums," Tom says. "I was playing the bass on the record. We drove to Criteria Studios and did two takes of two songs and then we pressed them right there. They made a label and everything, Pepper Records, put it on a 45. We got some airplay in Gainesville on it. We got better gigs, a little more money. What fascinates me is how many of those records are still around. People come up and give them to me to sign. I'm sure there weren't more than a thousand made. "Tom's brother Bernie was in the Flying Burrito Brothers at the time. We were really into the Burritos and we thought we could get into that direction a bit. That was one of my first attempts at trying to write that kind of music, write any music, really. "We weren't really grown up at all but we were trying. That was one of the first stabs at writing and presenting a song. We had never been in a studio, had no idea what that was about. We just walked in, put the drums over there, we played them both twice and the session was over. Mixed them down."
