The Dirty Knobs

Ex-Tom Petty collaborator Mike Campbell is finally releasing an album with his longtime side project. The Dirty Knobs will kick off a US nationwide tour this spring, then release their debut album on March 20th, 2020.

Campbell, who's also worked with Fleetwood Mac, is joined by Jason Sinay (Neil Diamond, Ivan Neville) on guitar and vocals , Lance Morrison (Don Henley) on bass and Matt Laug (Slash, Alanis Morissette) on drums.

"The Dirty Knobs first got together almost 15 years ago, but 'Wreckless Abandon' is our 1st album and occasion to tour", Campbell explains. "Over the years, the Knobs became an outlet for me to play some of the other songs I was writing and to keep the creative juices flowing in between working on albums and tours with Tom & The Heartbreakers".

Campbell produced "Wreckless Abandon" with George Drakoulias (Black Crowes, Jayhawks) and wrote all of the songs. Guests on the sessions included Campbell's former bandmate Benmont Tench and country star Chris Stapleton. The cover art was created by Klaus Voormann, who's best known for his work on the Beatles' "Revolver".
