Guitarist Mike Campbell<\/strong> is currently out on the road with his band The Dirty Knobs<\/strong>, and fans who come to see them can expect him to revisit his days with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell tells ABC Audio that now that he\u2019s recorded three albums with The Dirty Knobs, including their recent release,\u00a0<\/span>Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits<\/span><\/em>, the set list is mostly filled with that material, but\u00a0he also includes three or four Petty songs each night.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like doing those songs now and it’s always good for the audience, too,\u201d he shares, \u201cand I feel close to Tom when we do them … it’s a spiritual thing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Campbell\u00a0says he feels \u201cvery comfortable” singing the tunes he recorded with Petty, because nobody knows them better.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there’s a lot better singers than me out there, but if it’s a song that Tom and I wrote together, I understand how it’s supposed to sound and how it’s supposed to be delivered, the personality of it, maybe more than somebody who’s a proper singer,\u201d he shares. \u201cI know how to present the songs the way they’re supposed to feel.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

And while Petty may no longer be with us, Campbell knows that by continuing to perform\u00a0his music he\u2019s keeping the legacy alive for fans.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You know, songs are magical and a good song will live, you know, and bad songs will just fade away,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd I think we’ve got a lot of good material that will last a long time.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Campbell and The Dirty Knobs\u2019 tour hits Des Moines, Iowa, on July 3, with dates confirmed through Aug. 16. A complete schedule can be found at <\/span>thedirtyknobs.com<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
