Our Review

Three years in the making, Southern Accents was intended as a concept piece about Southern attitudes and identities, but the theme is only explicit on “Rebels,” “Spike” and the title song, a slow, spacious rumination on Petty’s Florida roots. Ironically, most of the album is anything but rustic. The taut, mechanical funk of “It Ain’t Nothin’ to Me” is totally different from the Heartbreaker’s traditional rock, while “Mary’s New Car” incorporates drum machines and jazz saxophone. Fortunately, Petty’s music retains its essential character in the face of innovations. Nowhere is this more apparent than “Don’t Come Around Here No More.” Producer Dave Stewart (of Eurythmics) builds the track on layers of electronic sound effects and dizzying drums, but despite its abstract approach to rock music, the song is one of Petty’s definitive performances. Southern Accents culminates with “The Best of Everything,” produced by the Band’s Robbie Robertson. Not only does the song recall the best of the Band, it also features contributions from Garth Hudson and Richard Manuel, in one of his last recordings before his 1986 suicide.

The horn charts and the Dave Stewart-produced tracks ("It Ain't Nothin' to Me", "Make It Better") haven't aged well, but on the other hand, there are some great songs here, especially the Robbie Robertson-produced "Best of Everything", which Petty had been perfo

The sounds of this album are unique! (4 stars)
Even though Tom Petty isn't considered New Wave, I really thought that "Don't come around here no more" nailed the format of new wave because of the atmospherics that make up the song (not to mention the awesome video). I have to say that Tom Petty is extremely talented, whether he does a new wave song or uses traditional bluesy/classic rock guitar (chord) progressions.

This is what started it all. (5 stars)
When I was eight years old my dad took me to a used record store to buy my first record. It was the 90s and everything was on tape but we listened to everything on vinyl. I was a big Tom Petty fan from what I had heard on the radio so he picked out "Southern Accents" for me. The woman who worked there looked at us and said that the song, "Spike, reminded her of this tv repairman that she had in her house recently. "Hey sp
