He's one of tom Pettys Heartbreakers. He's Awsome.

Besides being a great guitarist, I think he also works as a producer for other artists and may be the one credited for the Heartbreakers sound.

Mike Campbell is the ****. I've always enjoyed his style. He's definitely one of the players that influenced me when I was learning guitar.

while we're on the topic..

is he the same Mike Campbell that produced most of the Blondie LP's? (Parallel Lines, Eat to the Beat, Autoamerican, The Hunter)


...i'm gonna feel stupid if his name wasn't Mike Campbell, hahaa

Oh, ditto that! Great guitarist. I've learned to play so many Petty&Heartbreaker riffs etc when I started playing.

Yeesh... that's a track record I would not be proud of. I think you have just rattled off five of Stevie's all-time most hated tracks. Mike Campbell was poisonous for Stevie and I seriously hope that she has the good sense not to work with him again.

I always thought that their relationship when it came to songwriting was that he would send her instrumental tracks and she would take out her book of lyrics and try to sing them to the tracks. Thus, I don't know if you could call him poisonous... she calls him when she's musically bankrupt and he sends her stuff. She chooses whether to use it or not. That's how I understood it, anyway. Could be way off.

And he was fairly beneficial to Blondie

True, but she wouldn't have had all this interesting feedback from google.

Thanks for the info. Too bad some of them are some of her worst songs.
