She would not, however, have become STEVIE NICKS off of those demos themselves. She might have had a small cult following, but that's it. (Same can be said for the work people like Jimmy, Belmont, Roy and the rest put into her solo stuff).

Didn't Tom Moncrieff work her demos out too?

Yep.

Unfortunately like other rock artists last year and this year, Mike's new album didn't chart in the US.

Sounds like a great tour though ultimateclassicrock.com/mike-campbell-tom-petty-songs

Awesome that they're going to do TPHB songs.

I think his was mostly sold through his website. That said, he gets a ton of airplay on SiriusXM Outlaw Country.

He'd have to do a few, since most of the people coming to his show are Heartbreakers fans. Just like how LBCM played some Fleetwood Mac songs.

That said, most of the set is the two Knobs albums.

I bought the album at Barnes and Noble. I don't know if he'd have to do TPHB because he is playing small rooms/bars so the Knobs music works perfect for the venues. But maybe out of appreciation to the fans and because he wants to carry the torch for Tom.

AND…He’s filling in for Mojo Nixon today.

I hear Mike playing Rhiannon and Isn't it Midnight in this video. Any other Mac in there?

It really sucks because this could've been the perfect year for a new Mac album with a Rumours 45 Tour.

Mike and Neil said they were making it their priority until whenever.

I imagine the band meeting in 2020 being a monologue. "I need 3 years off"

In other words (most likely), The End.

Christine and John are just too old to do it anymore.
