Listen to Mike Campbell’s New Song ‘Heart of the Heartland’

Mike Campbell has released a new song with his Dirty Knobs band, titled “Heart of the Heartland.”

“‘Heart of the Heartland’ is a song I’m very proud of,” Campbell said in a press release. “It’s kind of like a travelogue through the middle of America. The music is very simple, but the lyrics refer to a lot of American landscapes and sentiments. Many of the images are drawn from things I’ve seen in my travels through the heartland over the years. It was also really fun to have strings on the song, thanks to Patrick Warren’s arrangement.”
