Mike Campbell's Work and Collaborations
"I think working outside the group is healthy, it's something that tends to strengthen the bond. Obviously when you've been apart a while then come together it's fresh again, and that helps. Maybe because we don't necessarily socialize when we're not working, when we do get together it's like, "Hey, how you doing!? Let's get some energy going!" The reason we're still together is that we still like playing together, we really enjoy it. We don't have to do this anymore. Most bands don't last this long because you either get bored, distracted or egoed out. For some reason we've managed to get through those elements and we all still feel a strong bond to what we're trying to achieve together. And I think we all probably sense that we're still building up toward the best stuff we can do - we haven't peaked musically - so we want to keep going and see what it's going to be".

Album Commentary by Kris (JuJuBeads)
Jimmy Lewis
& The Checkers/YEAH RIGHT/1980
Mike plays guitar on this release. Benmont also plays, of course,
keyboards.
The Tremblers/TWICE NIGHTLY/1980
Mike plays guitar here. Benmont and Stan also lend a hand.
Del Shannon/DROP DOWN AND GET ME/1981
This release was produced by Tom and the Heartbreakers are the
backing band throughout. Mike does both lead guitar and bass
guitar work on this album. Apparently, this is a sign of Ron's
increasing distraction from the band, which eventually led up to
his (Ron's) departure in April 1982.
Stevie Nicks/BELLA DONNA/1981
Tom and Mike generously gave this song to Stevie to record. It
became Stevie's first hit as a solo artist. Tom and Stevie share
lead vocals with the Heartbreakers, of course, backing them up.
Dwight Twilley/JUNGLE/1984
Tom contributes vocals to this release, and Mike does some guitar
work.
Don Henley/BUILDING THE PERFECT BEAST/1984
Mikes talents continue shine here. He is producer and also
co-wrote the song Boys Of Summer with Henley (only after Tom
turned it down). Mike plays synthesizer, guitar, and percussion.
Bob Dylan/EMPIRE BURLESQUE/1985
Mike plays guitar here. Benmont and Howie also play on this
release.
Eurythmics/BE YOURSELF TONIGHT/1985
Dave Stewart asked Mike, Benmont and Stan to contribute to this
Eurythmics cd. It's a very cool album, which also features Elvis
Costello on some vocals and Stevie Wonder on harmonica. My second
favorite bassist (after Howie) Nathan East, plays bass.
Lone Justice/LONE JUSTICE/1985
Tom and Mike gave Maria McKee their song "Ways To Be
Wicked" to sing. Mike, of course, does his fabulous guitar
thing, and Benmont does excellent keyboard and vocal work (esp.
the song "Wait 'Til We Get Home"). This is one of my
favorite albums. Also keep an ear out for Little Steven and his
Desciples of Soul (Steve Van Zandt)
Stevie Nicks/ROCK A LITTLE/1985
Mike and Stevie wrote the song Imperial Hotel together for this
release. Mike plays guitar and Benmont plays keyboards
Aretha Franklin/WHO'S ZOOMIN'WHO/1985
Dave Stewart did some producing on this cd and got Mike to play
guitar and Stan to play drums.
Brian Setzer/KNIFE FEELS LIKE JUSTICE/1986
Brian post Stray Cats and pre Setzer Orchestra put out this solo
album. I was(and still am) a big fan of Setzer and was pleasantly
surprised when I bought this way back then and saw Mike and
Benmont on the credits. Mike plays a cool 12 string on the song
Aztec, which he co-wrote with Brian.
Band Of The Hand/SOUNDTRACK/1986
Tom is listed as co-producer on this movie soundtrack. Tom and
all the Heartbreakers do work on this cd, along with Bob Dylan.
Peter Case/PETER CASE/1986
Mike plays guitar on this cd. I wonder whatever happened to this
guy? He had a lot of cool musicians helping out on this one -
John Hiatt, Van Dyke Parks, T-Bone Burnett, Roger McGuinn (on
12string).
Bob Dylan/KNOCKED OUT LOADED/1986
Mike plays guitar here. Howie and Benmont also play on this cd.
Dave Stewart also makes his presence known. Tom shares writing
credits with Bob on the song I've Got My Mind Made Up.
Matthew Sweet/INSIDE/1986
Mike helps out Matthew on his first solo album. This cd was a
little too synth heavy and not enough MIKE! Maybe Mike should
have mixed it. :)
Warren Zevon/SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE/1987
Mike lends a hand playing guitar on his Zevon's first album in 5
years. Very cool album with lots of even cooler (but none as cool
as Mike) guest musicians - Stipe/Mills/Buck of REM, Don Henley,
Dylan, Brian Setzer, Neil Young, Flea, Waddy Watchel.
Randy Newman/LAND OF DREAMS/988
Mike plays guitar and Tom provides guitar and background vocals
on this cd co-produced by Jeff Lynne
Luba/ALL OR NOTHING/1989
Mike provides guitar, keyboards, bass and mandolin and is listed
as producer on the tune "Wild Heart". I would love to
hear this song!
Paul Carrack/GROOVE APPROVED/1989
Mike does some guitar work, including 12-string on this cd.
Don Henley/END OF THE INNOCENCE/1989
Mike wrote the heart wrenching song, "Heart Of The
Matter" with JD Souther and Don Henley. MIke plays guitar
and keyboards. Stan Lynch is a strong presence on this cd as well
with co-writing and co-producing 3 other songs and playing drums
and percussion.

Mike co-wrote 3 songs on this cd and plays guitar. Songs: Ghosts,
Whole Lotta Trouble, and Fire Burning (with Rupert Hine and
Stevie)

co-produces as well as plays electric and acousitc guitar and
bass. Tom, Howie and Benmont are also present.
Warren Zevon/TRANSVERSE CITY/1989
Mike is a guest guitar player on another Zevon cd. If you can,
catch Zevon live - he's phenomenal, and you'll see why Mike likes
to play with him. Howie plays banjo and mandolin on this cd too!
Roadhouse/SOUNDTRACK/1989
This poorly received movie had a pretty good soundtrack. Mike
plays guitar and Benmont & Stan also contribute their
talents.
Roger McGuinn/BACK FROM RIO/1990
Tom and the Heartbreakers are a strong presence on Roger's
"comeback" album. Mike plays 6 string guitar, slide
guitar, baritone guitar and electric guitar on the songs
"Car Phone" and "King Of The Hill". Mike
co-wrote the song "Car Phone" with Roger.
Will T. Massey/WILL T MASSEY/1991

excellent guitar work.

Mike is once again called upon when a quality guitarist is needed
to do the job.
Bash & Pop/FRIDAY NIGHT IS KILLING
ME/1993
Tommy Stinson of the Replacements first solo album. Tommy gets
Mike to lay down some killer guitar work on this cd. Benmont also
contributes.

Always Got You" and "Tell It To The World". He
produces these songs as well as plays synthesizer, bass, dobro
and guitar. Benmont also helps out on the cd.
Patti Scialfa/RUMBLE DOLL/1993
Mike is all over this one! He co-wrote a song with Patti
"Lucky Girl". He produced and engineered this cd as
well as played bass, rhythm guitar, lead guitar and drum
programming. He asked Benmont to add his touch too.

Mike contributes guitar to this cd.
Jackson Browne/I'M ALIVE/1993
Mike, Benmont and Scott Thurston all contribute on this cd.
Stevie Nicks/STREET ANGEL/1993
Mike, Ron Blair and Benmont all contribute to this cd. Nice to
see Ron playing again!

Jeff Lynne produced this cd and apparently wanted Mike to
contribute...'nuff said. If anyone listens to this cd - please,
I'd love to hear your review ;-)
Billy Pilgrim/BLOOM/1995
Mike brings his talents on a 12 string to this folk musicians cd.
Los Straitjackets/ MARSHMALLOW WORLD/SLEIGH

Cracker/GENTLEMAN'S BLUES/1998
Mike and Benmont contribute. Mike plays guitar and cello. On the
