“The only Mudcrutch record released from a year of frustrating studio work was this single, probably named from a road in Gainesville. ‘When we first met him, Denny Cordell was really into reggae,’ Petty explains. ‘He had been down to Jamaica with Chris Blackwell and they had just started this label called Mango and signed up a lot of people.’ Mango had a huge impact on bringing reggae to the U.S. around this time with ‘The Harder They Come.’ ‘He was playing us these reggae records and it was my attempt really to try to put some kind of reggae thing into it. There was hardly anyone doing it at the time, and I think Cordell really grooved on that, that we were trying. But I think we were really successful at it or that it’s one of the better things we did. But that’s what he liked for the single.’
The B side, “Wild Eyes”, was closer to the future Heartbreaker sound:
‘It did nothing,’ Benmont recalls. ‘The folks at the record company were kind of like, “See – ‘Philadelpia Freedom’ – this is what a single should sound like. ‘Depot Street’ is what a single should not sound like”‘”
