Great old time rock and roll

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

If you like the Heartbreakers, the Stones and the blues, get this album. This is real rock and roll played by rock and roll musicians. I got the vinyl release, and it's flat and super quiet. Very high quality pressing.

Tom Petty's Right-hand Man Delivers Rockin' Album

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

For over 40 years Mike Campbell stood on stage alongside Tom Petty playing lead guitar for The Heartbreakers. With Petty now gone, Campbell steps out on his own with his band The Dirty Knobs and delivers a killer rockin' album that would have made Petty proud. In fact, when Campbell sings it's easy to think it's a brother of Petty because he sounds so close to Petty's voice. The songs rock and if Petty was still alive I'm sure some of them would have made their way into his catalog. If you love great guitars and songs that rock then this album is for you.

Great album!
If you are missing the great Tom Petty, pick this one up.
Very similar song writing and Mike sounds very much like Petty on vocals.
No fillers on this album!

Excellent hard rock with blues CD

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I LOVE this album! I bought the CD, and the sound quality is excellent. If you love guitar-driven rock/blues, with great songs, you will love this album. It just brings me so much joy, during a very difficult time. These guys know what they're doing. They are the real deal. I can't wait for their next album! And Tom Petty was right, that people underestimated Mike Campbell as a guitarist. He is at the top of his game, a VERY talented electric guitar player. The Dirty Knobs are my newest absolute favorite band.

Like hearing the ghost of Tom Petty

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2020

Wow is all I can say. Fantastic album all the way through. Mike Campbell has always been a fantastic guitar player but this shows how important he was/is to the Heartbreakers. I've never heard Mike sing before and it's like hearing Tom Petty's ghost in the background. Tom Petty would be proud of this album and any fan of the Heartbreakers have to have this in their collection.

Absolutely brilliant album from Mike Campbell of the Heartbreakers with his band the Dirty Knobs.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

Great surprise to find this album but what a gem it is. Mike Campbell's band, built up in between Heartbreaker tours, do a great job.A good variety of Campbell's songs with incredible guitar throughout have Rock, Blues, Country, John Lee Hooker type Boogie and a couple of acoustic/ harmonica tracks.
Mike, with a very decent voice, has worked on writing songs with many great musicians like Don Henley and of course Tom Petty and you should look out for Souther Boy, Sugar, and Irish Girl but not a bad track. Great double vinyl gatefold with vast info and pics and the Cover Art is Klaus Voormann (Beatles Revolver) Touch of class
£20 at the moment incredible. I love it (Vinyl & CD)

"SCHMUTZIG" -- aber SAUBERES Ergebnis !!!

Reviewed in Germany on November 29, 2020

Über eine Facebook- Weiterleitung wurde ich auf sie aufmerksam: die "Dirty Knobs", die "Schmutzigen Knöpfe". Gleich dieses Wortspiel erinnerte mich spontan an eine Formation, die ich sehr schätze: die "Travelling Wilburys", die "Wandernden (Gitarren-) Ausrutscher" (1988 und 1990). Wie sehr musste ich erstaunen, als ich dann las, dass der Frontmann dieser neuen Gruppe Mike Campbell ist. Er war der wohl beständigste "Heartbreaker" und Begleitmusiker des leider 2017 verstorbenen Tom Pettys, der wiederum Mitglied besagter Travelling Wilburys gewesen ist, zudem bekennender Beatles- Fan ..... (wie übrigens auch ich es bin).

So, genug der warmen Vorrede. Meine Risiko- Bestellung erwies sich als absoluter Glückskauf! Es gibt 13 Tracks bei einer Gesamtlänge von 56 Minuten, dazu ein achtseitiges Begleitheftchen mit allen abgedruckten Texten sowie Angaben zu den Songs.

Track 1, "Wreckless Abandon", der Titelsong, beginnt mit einer indisch anmutenden instrumentalen Einleitung (die nur vielleicht ein klein wenig zu lang ausgefallen ist). Darauf folgt ein hart angeschlagener Gitarrenriff, der "natürlich" an den Eröffnungsakkord von "A hard day's night" (Beatles, 1964) erinnern lässt. Dann gibt es markanten, griffigen, leicht 1960er Jahre angehauchten Rock, der kein bisschen kitschig wirkt und trotzdem gute Laune macht.

Alle Songs wurden von Mike Campbell geschrieben; nur bei zweien gibt es einen Co- Autor. So übernimmt Mike Campbell denn auch (fast) durchgängig den Lead- Gesang. Mit ein klein wenig Fantasie erinnert mich sein Gesang tatsächlich sehr wohltuend an Tom Petty -- nur eben nicht so melancholisch oder sentimental wie Mr. "Full moon fever" phasenweise rüberkam.

Die gesamte Machart -- kurze, prägnante, aber raffiniert gestrickte Songs mit ansprechenden Melodien, dazu ein wenig Wortwitz -- erinnert mich an die guten, alten Wilburys. Hin und wieder gibt es auffällige musikalische Spielereien. Gern zwei Beispiele und sorry, der Beatles- Fan in mir muss wieder raus: Alle Gitarren bis auf eine fallen plötzlich aus (vgl. "I feel fine", 1964) oder die Gitarre übernimmt eine leicht witzige Eigenart (vgl. "Savoy Truffle, 1968, oder "O' Darling", 1969).

In der zweiten Album- Hälfte kommen ein wenig Blues oder auch experimentelle Bezüge hinzu. D.h. die Spielweise wird gelegentlicht verlangsamt, es gibt Takt- und Tempo- Wechsel oder eine leicht düstere Machart. Die Musik bleibt unterhaltsam.

Mike Campbells drei Mitstreiter Jason Sinay, Lance Morrison und Matt Laug kannte ich allesamt namentlich noch nicht. Jedoch schon 15 Jahre lang soll sich das Quartett kennen. Dieses Eingespielt- Sein, diese Spielfreude, kommt auch deutlich rüber.

Fazit: Das vorliegende Debüt- Album von Ex- "Herzensbrecher" und nun "Oberknopf" Mike Campbell bietet (fast durchgängig) cool gespielten, stramm beschwingten Rock. Selbst ein neues Album von Tom Petty oder gar den Travelling Wilburys, so sehr ich es mir auch wünschte, hätte kaum besser ausfallen können.

Deshalb: Was zunächst die Anzugsordnung anbelangt: "Schmutzige Knöpfe" müssen her! Auch wenn es sehr begeisternd klingen mag, aber so ist Rock und Rock'n Roll nun mal:

5 SCHMUTZIGE Bewertungssterne für die neuen "SCHMUTZIGEN Knöpfe" !!!!!

Utterly brilliant debut album from Mike Campbell's new band

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 2, 2021

What could someone as talented as Mike Campbell do after the death of his long-time friend, bandmate and collaborator Tom Petty? How about get a band together with a silly name and make an album that would have been worthy of The Heartbreakers themselves? I wasn't sure what to expect from Wreckless Abandon, but I certainly wasn't expecting it to be so amazingly good... and it's perhaps a tribute to Campbell's input into the Heartbreakers' work that it even appears to have the spirit and ghost of Tom running through the album, even down to the vocals. Honestly, if Mike had released this as a Heartbreakers album, I don't think you'd have heard many complaints from the fans. This record is packed full of great songs, but surely "F That Guy" is one of the tracks of the year?

Great album and God Mike Campbell's voice is almost a carbon copy of TP much of the time. Great production and mastering as well.
