Benmont Tench Tom Quotations

Tom would bring in songs, Mike would engineer, and we recorded about 30 songs.

In Mudcrutch we all wrote songs, and when it got to the focus on Tom and the Heartbreakers, I kept writing songs, but it wasn't anything that was up the Heartbreakers tree, I didn't think - and I don't think they did, either. So I kept writing songs for the hell of it, but I didn't want to make a record just for the sake of making a record.

I've spent most of my life playing with Tom Petty, and he's a damn good songwriter.

We've had producers who've all shared at least one thing. They've all recognized that Tom and Mike write great songs and that's what it's about.
