Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knob - External Combustion - LP VINYL

With Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Mike Campbell wrote music history. For more than 15 years, the legendary guitarist and songwriter has also fronted the band The Dirty Knobs. However, their first album, "Wreckless Abandon," was released just two years ago. How good that they didn't take quite so much time for the successor: "External Combustion" is coming in 2022, the "proof that lightning can strike twice," according to a description on their website.

Eleven songs were recorded for the new record by Mike Campbell and bandmates Jason Sinay (guitar), Lance Morrison (bass) and Matt Laug (drums) last summer at Campbell's home studio, Hocus Pocus Recorders, in Los Angeles. "The band became a kind of spontaneous combustion [...] The longer we played, the more intuitive it became," says the guitarist about the recording and the album title.
