In conclusion...
I was unable to gather a larger amount of history and background covering Mike Campbell. However what I have to offer here impressively speaks on its own. He worked with Tom Petty for several decades before moving on to side projects and solo work. And he is still rocking. Therefore, I will conclude this post on that note.
Happy Birthday, Mike Campbell.
