“I brought a musicality that Tom wasn’t capable of. I had techniques that I could express to him in his songs that he couldn't have done on his own”: Mike Campbell on what he brought to the Heartbreakers as Tom Petty’s guitar foil

Tom Petty and Mike Campbell.

Mike Campbell was Tom Petty's right-hand man during Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ rich history, and his forthcoming memoir will lift the lid on his fruitful and colorful career in the band.

Simply named Heartbreaker, the book is due March 18 via Hachette Book Group, and it charts a spellbinding career that, at one point, nearly saw Campbell join Fleetwood Mac, save for Stevie Nicks' intervention.
