Description
For Mike Campbell, External Combustion – the second album by his first band as a leader, The Dirty Knobs – is proof that lightning can strike twice. The follow-up 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 one-shot deal. Campbell experienced all of the above and more with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – riding shotgun with his friend and captain as lead guitarist, co-producer, and, at times, co-writer – 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.

Very Petty-esque with a little more guitar... about what you might expect IMO.

Just received this CD and playing it now. Very nice raw, loose, live in the studio sounding album . Campbell's lyrics aren't as good as Petty's, but he really knows how to write great melodies, and his vocals are so reminiscent of Tom's. I think it's a step up from the first Dirty Knobs album, and I'll be playing them both over the next few weeks, I'm sure.
It's nice hearing Ian Hunter, though he's starting to sound a mite frail. I guess being in your 80s will do that.
