Mike Campbell Activates Dirty Knobs With A Slice of Heartbreakers

Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs are a touring thing. The former Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist is taking the Dirty Knobs on the road for a North American tour and there is a healthy amount of Heartbreakers in the setlist.

For starters, the three song encore this week in Nashville was all Petty. ‘Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It)’ dates back to the first Heartbreakers album of 1976. ‘You Got Lucky’ was from 1982’s ‘Long After Dark’ and ‘Runnin Down A Dream’ was from the Tom Petty solo album ‘Full Moon Fever’ on 1989. The 1985 Heartbreakers song ‘Southern Accent’ from the ‘Southern Accents’ album was midway through the set.

The Dirty Knobs setlist showcased both of the recent Dirty Knobs album ‘Wreckless Abandon’ (2020) and ‘External Combustion’ (2022). Margo Price, who performs on ‘External Combustion’ joined Campbell at the show to recreate their duet ‘State of Mind’.
