Description

For Mike Campbell, External Combustion ndash the second album by his first band as a leader, The Dirty Knobs ndash is proof that lightning can strike twice. The followup to their 2020 debut Wreckless Abandon beats a new set of odds and jumps ahead in vision and drive, proving the first record was no oneshot deal. Campbell experienced all of the above and more with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers ndash riding shotgun with his friend and captain as lead guitarist, coproducer, and, at times, cowriter ndash when he met guitarist Jason Sinay at a session in Los Angeles in 2000. Once Lance Morrison joined in on bass and Matt Laug on drums, that turned into The Dirty Knobs, named after a faulty amp dial. Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs LP is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £25
