"Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things" - Tom Petty
Damn good. All of them. Mike C and Tom L, just mesh so well with TP on bass. Randall and Benmont just tie it all together. I’m sad this won’t happen again.
Tears. Just heard of Tom's passing. I saw myself in so many of his songs. Saw him with the Heartbreakers and Mudcrutch. Going to be listening to Petty for the rest of my life. Rest well, Brother.
Catfish pie In gris gris bag I'm the lover of the bayou Pack your doorstep With a half wet rag I'm the lover of the bayou I was raised and swam With the crocodile Snake-eye taught me The Mojo style Sucked and weaned On chicken bile I'm the lover of the bayou I learned the key To the master lock Learned to float In the water clock Learned to capture The lightning shock I'm the lover of the bayou And I got cat's an' teeth And hair for sale I'm the lover of the bayou And there are zombies On your tail I'm the lover of the bayou I cooked a bat In a gumbo pan I drank the blood From a rusty can Turned me Into the Hunger Man I'm the lover of the bayou Yeah
I really enjoy all the expressions on Tom Petty’s face as he listen’s and watches this most excellent band “Mudcrutch” he is either thinking “wow look what I’ve created or he is thinking wow look what these guys have created “!🧚🏻♂️🎸and at the very end of this song he has this great smile and ornery look as if he is saying “yep their the best band of all times along side with ‘The Heartbreakers abs two other bands.🌼✌️
I could watch this a million times over. These masters at work, Toms smile. The sound. Wish I could get this hooked up to my ole stereo receiver and speakers and makes these walls hum.
Mudcrutch is the best album Petty has done in decades (and he's done some good ones)....I was lucky enough to see Leadon guest with the Heartbreakers in Atlanta in '08. Winwood opened with a 65 minute set. He then returned to play Can't Find My Way Home and Gimme Some Lovin' with the Heartbreakers. Leadon came out later and they did Scare Easy andand Lover of the Bayou. What a night.
Wow good for you. I’m jealous! I think Mudcrutch is one of the best band I’ve ever heard I didn’t know about them until 2010, of course I knew and loved Tom Petty and The Heartbreaker’s but I Just didn’t know........😔 a lot very cool beautiful music. Take care.Excellent song”Lover Of The Bayou”
So glad I got to see TP & the Heartbreakers multiple times. Including shortly before Tom's passing. Got to see Mike Campbell with Fleetwood Mac shortly after. Whether they go by Mudcrutch or Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. This group is as good as any group to ever grace the stage. Long live TP and all the great music he left for us. When you rank the best Guitar players. Mike Campbell is right there at the top. He shreds guitar and makes it look so easy.
There was a documentary about the heartbreakers - the most of which was filmed in there space- That place is full of treasures. The guitar collection was staggering- RIP Tom. and god bless the rest of the boys.
The original had the legendary Clarence White on lead guitar playing a Telecaster. Clarence White had an admirer named Jimi Hendrix. Roger McGuinn handed the majority of the lead chores to Clarence during his tenure with the Byrds.
Here's a Byrds live version of "Lover of the Bayou" from the Colden Center in Queens, February 1970. Clarence cooks. ruclips.net/video/tszBQdkTmHM/видео.html&start_radio=1
Sort of love that Petty played with his "launch" band again, for a bit. @Roger, they all leave us eventually. Just listen to their work, best way to honor their memory.
I like Petty's economical approach to playing bass. You might even say it's minimalist, but it really works! That little four-note riff he keeps repeating moves the music forward.
A very good cover yes, I'll give them that. Did anybody watch the Roger McGuinn's "Thunderbyrd" on here version of this with Rick Vito playing the ole' Telecaster? If you haven't please do. Nobody will ever replace Clarence White on this song. Especially if you listen to the Byrds album "Untitled"'s version.
Marty Stuart owns the original Clarence White Tele with Bbender ... I saw him play it with the Fabulous Superlatives when they were functioning as the Byrds behind McGuinn and Hillman last November
The Byrds song, exemplifying the Petty/Campbell/Tench triumvirate. (Note the left-handed neck on Tom's right-hand Ric bass and the shot of the indispensible microwave oven at 1.49).
Holy crap I didn’t notice that about his bass. And I’m a bass player too. Only noticed it’s not the stereo model with the wedge fret makers. Same model as McCartney. The devil been tempting me for years to buy one.
Gdy tylko publiczność zechce się zagłębić i poświęcić trochę czasu odkryje i pozna kim jest facet, który tak wspaniale gra na gitarze w zespole Heartbreakers-to Mik.

Mike Campbell might be the best lead guitarist the public doesn't know by name.
in my opinion he is
For real
So true.
really...
It is the truth and anyone who doesn't know is just uneducated on the subject.
This is one of those "TURN IT UP AND WAKE UP THE NEIGHBORS" songs, definitely.
Then, you play Soundgarden.
Heck yeah 😂
Nothing says "forever" as Petty's smile does at the end of this video.
Tom looked really happy here. Hope he knew what joy and happiness he brought his millions of fans around the world. He lives on through his music.
He was playing his favorite music, southern blues-rock...the best
He was never happier than when covering the Byrds.
Indeed
He knew.
Benmont looks like he is pissed.
Guitar speaks 'crawdad' here. Never heard such expression from ANY guitarist. Ever. Mike has to be the best.
Rory Gallagher js
Mike Campbell the most underrated and not known Guitarists of all time he's amazing
Mike Campbell easily makes my top 10 pickers of all time

Fuck dude, I've been grieving since Monday. Tom Petty is my whole heart and soul. Rock in peace man. 💜💘
Still grieving, three years later. It has a long half life.
And still
Same.
Damn good. All of them. Mike C and Tom L, just mesh so well with TP on bass. Randall and Benmont just tie it all together. I’m sad this won’t happen again.
50 yards outside my backdoor is where the old Mudcrutch farm sat for years. Oh, the music I missed by just a decade...
Mike Campbell is a god damn genius!! Love him!!!!!!!!!!
Tears. Just heard of Tom's passing. I saw myself in so many of his songs. Saw him with the Heartbreakers and Mudcrutch. Going to be listening to Petty for the rest of my life. Rest well, Brother.
Same. :( RIP TOM

Catfish pie
In gris gris bag
I'm the lover of the bayou
Pack your doorstep
With a half wet rag
I'm the lover of the bayou
I was raised and swam
With the crocodile
Snake-eye taught me
The Mojo style
Sucked and weaned
On chicken bile
I'm the lover of the bayou
I learned the key
To the master lock
Learned to float
In the water clock
Learned to capture
The lightning shock
I'm the lover of the bayou
And I got cat's an' teeth
And hair for sale
I'm the lover of the bayou
And there are zombies
On your tail
I'm the lover of the bayou
I cooked a bat
In a gumbo pan
I drank the blood
From a rusty can
Turned me
Into the Hunger Man
I'm the lover of the bayou
Yeah
I think MOP your doorstep with a half wet rag, makes more sense. Jacques is dead so we'll never know.
I love the guitars here but the drums and piano are soooo good on this classic Roger McGuinn song.
Tom Petty, the best ever. Fantastic.
The first Mudcrutch album is one of the best things Tom Petty has ever done. A shame this band flew under the radar, they deserve more love!
I really enjoy all the expressions on Tom Petty’s face as he listen’s and watches this most excellent band “Mudcrutch” he is either thinking “wow look what I’ve created or he is thinking wow look what these guys have created “!🧚🏻♂️🎸and at the very end of this song he has this great smile and ornery look as if he is saying “yep their the best band of all times along side with ‘The Heartbreakers abs two other bands.🌼✌️
I think he living in the moment and thinking, “It don’t get any better than this “.
I could watch this a million times over. These masters at work, Toms smile. The sound. Wish I could get this hooked up to my ole stereo receiver and speakers and makes these walls hum.

abbgt Wow!! That sounds like a great concert.
A great Byrds song played by a great band. Corporate radio ignored both versions...
I’ll never get over “Lover Of The Bayou” and his talent will always blow me away. For me he is truly beautiful!🙄🎸😎🥰😔
The raised eyebrows at the end tells you they nailed that one, and is almost saying "Follow that!!" What a song!!
This is The Byrds best Legacy...RIP dudes.
It’s just a total bad ass song , god the way Mike Campbell plays the guitar blows my mind!😍
Mike is soooo good...
MC is off the wall ridiculous! Never tire of watching GOOD TO BE KING Gatorville ‘06
Clarence White ~ 1944 - 1973 ~ R.I.P.
Benmont!...the best and what an added sound for the band
seriously smooth licks and lyrics. RIP Tom...the whole world is missing you!
Beautiful smile at the end...RIP miss u
So badass. A legend gone to soon.
Mike's playing and his tone are off the chart. Turn it up
To my Gainesville & Interlauchen Family, how blessed we were. Best fish fries hush puppies grits ever! Fondest memories. RIP Tom Petty 🙏
Tom Petty RIP. Your music lives on.
People know Mike.....talent can’t hide.
Great cover of a Byrds classic … Mike Campbell playing B-Bender Tele, appropriately enough
This song still kicks my ass! I can listen to It morning, noon or night time! ✌️🧚🏻♂️
Almost 7 billion human beings on our planet ignore this southern rock jewel...
This.
This is the way real rock and roll records are made....
Nice to see Tom kept his loyalty to Rickenbacker even when switching to bass
In my Petty playlist with The Byrds playing it live in London, 1971.
Some of these guys are no longer with us, but they will always be in our hearts anyway.
That's the way rock and roll feels
Fantastic , I’m a lover of the bayou too
That Tom Petty smile says it all. Simply fantastic 🎶
Just the Best American artists of All Time!! End of story.
That look guitarist Tom Leadon does watching guitarist Mike Campbell shred @3:38 ...respect and priceless
No shit Priceless!!
Thought I was the only one that seen it
Petty is as close to being a Byrd as you can be and it is their only chance of getting this song back...They just own this one now.
OH MY MY--TOM AND MIKE STILL DOING IT LIKE NO OTHERS! LOVE THIS!!!
Two words: Fantastic album
What a BAND ! -- There's NOBODY like them!
4 yrs .... Shredding it in heaven Tom
Missing him, top hat & all!! There'll never be another like him..a real diamond in the rough..
"I got cats and teeth and hair for sale"😆
Tom knew what he was doing when he picked any of his bandmates.
Mike Campbell plays that amazing guitar like it’s easy❤️. Rock on Mike 🎶
RIP Tom Leadon🥀

One of my favourite covers! I also love to jam out to this one with my band!
There was a documentary about the heartbreakers - the most of which was filmed in there space-
That place is full of treasures. The guitar collection was staggering-
RIP Tom. and god bless the rest of the boys.
Tom Petty was a great entertainer..hass been missed.
Wow just wow. Brilliant. Love it.
Don't change nothing. Simply perfect !
Freakin Awesome! Love it! You rocked Tom and Mudcrutch as well!!!!
The original had the legendary Clarence White on lead guitar playing a Telecaster. Clarence White had an admirer named Jimi Hendrix. Roger McGuinn handed the majority of the lead chores to Clarence during his tenure with the Byrds.
I think that might Clarence's tele he's playing - definitely has a B-bender
@@JimmySlattery - Naa-ah, the Country music star Marty Stuart has Clarence's B-Bender. Mike Campbell has one, though - good catch!
Here's a Byrds live version of "Lover of the Bayou" from the Colden Center in Queens, February 1970. Clarence cooks. ruclips.net/video/tszBQdkTmHM/видео.html&start_radio=1
I love Mike Campbell, He is the BEST guitarist EVER!!!
Top ten for sure
Sort of love that Petty played with his "launch" band again, for a bit. @Roger, they all leave us eventually. Just listen to their work, best way to honor their memory.
Just closed on a lot on the louisiana bayou drinking some beers and blasting this song right now.
Did I see a nail in Belmont's piano at the end of that? Guess they nailed it.
To be a fly in that room. Thanks for the memories...
Damn-it Mike now I got to go find my jaw that dropped off (again)!
Not ready for your passing. So sad today about everything.
I like Petty's economical approach to playing bass. You might even say it's minimalist, but it really works! That little four-note riff he keeps repeating moves the music forward.

Love Tom Petty
Mike Campbell is the most underrated guitarist of all time
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍, saw hendrix Clapton, this dude is equal to them 😄, 🎸🎸👌
Mind you the whole band was superb, and then there was Tom, rip 😭 Tom 💕😇, gone but never forgotten, RIP
Guitarist Roy Buchanan is the best unknown guitarist of all time checkout his album loading zone better then any guitarist of the last 60 plus years
Great Byrds cover , and remember too another great songwriter , Jacques Levy , who composed the song with Roger McGuinn .
Helped Dylan write a lot of his Desire album too.
He co-wrote a number of strong songs with McGuinn. Many are on the Untitled album.
Great song and wow! What a cool rehearsal place!
The song itself is a bit different from standard verse chorus bridge songwriting.
First heard it on Byrds live album. Leadoff track.
This whole album is great. After Full Moon Fever, it could be my favorite (Studio - The live anthology is so so so so so great)
Wow...Incredible
Marty Stuart owns the original Clarence White Tele with Bbender ... I saw him play it with the Fabulous Superlatives when they were functioning as the Byrds behind McGuinn and Hillman last November
Tom makes that hat look great !!! 😍
The Byrds song, exemplifying the Petty/Campbell/Tench triumvirate.
(Note the left-handed neck on Tom's right-hand Ric bass and the shot of the indispensible microwave oven at 1.49).
Holy crap I didn’t notice that about his bass. And I’m a bass player too. Only noticed it’s not the stereo model with the wedge fret makers. Same model as McCartney. The devil been tempting me for years to buy one.
Mike really rips here
Music is great! Specially guitar. Love it!
He will be so missed. I 've seen him at least a dozen times in & around Nashville, Tenn.
Gdy tylko publiczność zechce się zagłębić i poświęcić trochę czasu odkryje i pozna kim jest facet, który tak wspaniale gra na gitarze w zespole Heartbreakers-to Mik.
Damn that was good. Miss ya so much TP
I love this song
Man this guy is still telling that i am in the right place ,and he has been disembodied for a while now
agreed Campbell
They do this Song really well. Its cool to see the Mudcrutch people playin. I like this version better then the Byrds did it.
Nice to listening while driving in the usa!
to have lived and loved on it makes one a lover of the bayou.
MIKE F’n CAMPBELL!!!
