Watch Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs’ New “Electric Gypsy” Music Video
The rock 'n' roll veteran pushes forward with stunning new video ahead of tour.

Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs have unveiled a new track from their forthcoming album External Combustion.
Released via BMG, the band’s latest studio effort is due to land on March 4 this year and was recorded during the Summer months last year.
Tracked at Hocus Pocus Recorders – Campbell’s Los Angeles home studio – it follows up the Dirty Knobs' acclaimed 2020 debut long-player, Wreckless Abandon.
“Electric Gypsy” is the closing number from the new 11-track LP and is one of Campbell’s favorite songs on the record.
“The song came to me in a moment of inspiration before a session with the band,” commented Campbell, “and we recorded it that day in one take, guitar solo and all.”
While the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers co-writer composed a majority of the songs on External Combustion in recent months, a couple of tracks on the album were old compositions unearthed from the maestro’s vault.
Following the passing of his friend and bandmate Tom Petty, Campbell has increasingly thrown himself into the project. Consequently, on March 9 this year, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs will begin their first US tour.
