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. Inbeween, 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.
