The Story Behind the Song podcast is back with a brand new season, and we're kicking it off with guitar great Mike Campbell discussing Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers' 1980 hit "Refugee." Speaking with host Peter Csathy, Campbell goes into detail about the song's iconic riff (even demonstrating how he came up with it!), Petty's lyrics, and how producer Jimmy Iovine and engineer Shelly Yakus worked hard to find the right sound for the song.
Campbell also talks about his band The Dirty Knobs' latest album (Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits) and tour, as well as his new memoir, Heartbreaker.
