Signed by Mike Campbell.
Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits, the third album by Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs, opens with a song about the one thing every rock band on the road needs to feel alive and going forward, night after night: the crowd. Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits ends like a gig too. "Amanda Lynn" is a brief dance of mandolins originally recorded as the walk-out music at Dirty Knobs shows. In-between, Campbell, guitarist Chris Holt, bassist Lance Morrison and drummer Matt Laug have made the most expansive and dynamic album of the Dirty Knobs' one-of-a-kind ride: founded in 2000 by the leader as a writing and club-date project outside the Heartbreakers; finally getting on record with 2020's Wreckless Abandon and 2022's External Combustion, both made with Drakoulias.
