Mike Campbell has announced his second album with The Dirty Knobs entitled External Combustion. The album features Margo Price and Ian Hunter, as well as Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench. Two tracks from the forthcoming album have been released, “Wicked Mind” and “Electric Gypsy”, each with an accompanying video directed by George Mays.
Of the new single Mike says, "'Electric Gypsy' is one of my favorite songs on the new record. The song came to me in a moment of inspiration before a session with the band - and we recorded it that day in one take, guitar solo and all.” Pre-order the album now on limited edition green translucent vinyl, black vinyl, CD and digital.
External Combustion will be released on March 4 and Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs will hit the road for their first headline tour starting March 9.
