EXTD=ite Petty venture., August 31, 2005\nReviewer: R. Hansen (Waynesv
EXTD=ille, MO United States)\nI'm a true blue Yankee but I love the se
EXTD=ntiment of this work: the dichtomy of longing for your roots but 
EXTD=being weary of them too. These two themes are explored nicely in 
EXTD=both "Rebels" and the title track. Petty does a good job of expre
EXTD=ssing his love for his roots without giving us typical good ol' b
EXTD=oy bombast or treacle. In fact he is so effective that one could 
EXTD=argue that his themes are universal and that the fact that he men
EXTD=tions the south at all is simply coincidental. \n\nThe title work
EXTD= is a great acheivement from Bentmont Tench's mornful piano to TP
EXTD='s heartful delivery of some great lyrics. I must say that the im
EXTD=agery of the dream about his mother coming to him is very touchin
EXTD=g. All of the song's are great here and contain some fine riffs, 
EXTD=words and twists (like Tench's off key piano--recorded while he w
EXTD=as unable to hear the mix through his head phones and just tinker
EXTD=ed away as a joke--but later included because it's discordant res
EXTD=ult seemed to fit). Two overlooked gems are also here (both in my
EXTD= Top Ten fave Petty tunes) "Dogs on the Run" and "The Best of Eve
EXTD=rything". The former stands tall in the great tradition of metaph
EXTD=oric stories over a great rock chord progression and the latter a
EXTD= very sentimental look back with a fantastic opening line: "She p
EXTD=robably works in a resturant, that's what her mama did". How many
EXTD= of us have not pondered the lives of someone we lost track of?\n

EXTD=6, 2005\nReviewer: R. L. MILLER (FT LAUDERDALE FL USA) \nThe mega
EXTD=-hit "Don't Come Around Here No More", to be exact. Many of the o
EXTD=ther songs are the reason I don't drop this album to two stars. "
EXTD=Rebels" starts you thinking this album is a worthy follow-up to "
EXTD=Hard Promises". The title track later on is a powerful, introspec
EXTD=tive piano-voice ballad. Some listeners looking for a continuatio
EXTD=n of driving rock may find it "boring", but don't get me started 
EXTD=on that type of "boredom". Believe me, this song kicks booty. But
EXTD= that MTV-drivel "Don't Come Around Here No More". The lyrics are
EXTD= contrived, you get the sense that the main aim was for the lines
EXTD= to rhyme. That mid-Sixties sitar arrangement is more consistent 
EXTD=with the pointless psychedelia renaissance than with a Tom Petty 
EXTD=album. That sort of crapola is lame even as a parody. And the vid
EXTD=eo! Ever since that came out, everyone looking to depict Petty fo
EXTD=r whatever entertainment purpose has him in that dorky Mad Hatter
EXTD= hat. I'm sure there were trick-or-treaters the following Hallowe
EXTD=en wearing "Tom Petty" costumes. The chief advantage of the CD is
EXTD= that you can program around that song. Which I suggest you do as
EXTD= you listen to this album's good stuff.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Re

EXTD=oe "Sick Boy" (TExAS)\nI am shocked at the negative comments dire
EXTD=cted at this album. I have every Tom Petty album made and this on
EXTD=e became my favorite after the very first time I listened to it. 
EXTD=The album opens with "Rebels," a powerful song about Civil War fe
EXTD=elings not yet gone. Tom then goes directly into another song abo
EXTD=ut discontent, "It Ain't Nothin' to Me." Tom stays in a bitter an
EXTD=d somber mood with "Don't Come Around Here No More," the biggest 
EXTD=hit of the album. However, the best song on the album is next, wi
EXTD=th the classic title track, "Southern Accents." This song sounds 
EXTD=penned from Faulkner, with vivid references to the pride Tom feel
EXTD=s for his Southern roots. The rest of the songs are all solid, wi
EXTD=th "Dogs on the Run" balancing out the album as the last great so
EXTD=ng. Music is subjective and to each their own. But for my money, 
EXTD=this is Tom Petty's masterpiece.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nG
EXTD=ood idea gone bad, November 19, 2003\nReviewer: A music fan\nAs a
EXTD= southerner in exile and someone who'd bought every Tom Petty alb
EXTD=um to that date, I was thrilled to pick up Southern Accents the w
EXTD=eek it was released. I enjoyed it, and liked Petty going in a new
EXTD= direction and trying a theme album after the previous album seem
EXTD=ed a bit uneven. Most of the tracks didn't stand up to repeated l
EXTD=istening, though, and some are just plain annoying.\n"Rebels" rem
EXTD=ains a nicely done anthem, "Don't Come Around Here No More" was a
EXTD= good break in the theme that brought back the original Heartbrea
EXTD=kers sound (plus sitar of course), but I don't think it would hav
EXTD=e become quite so popular over the years if not for the contrast 
EXTD=with the rest of the material here that is so weak, or if it hadn
EXTD='t been sold to us by a memorable video (yes, money is king). The
EXTD= title track remains deeply moving, and is the standout here. The
EXTD= rest of the songs are forgettable, and it's hard to believe that
EXTD= a typical Tom Petty fan would think this CD is one of his best.

EXTD=on.com Customer Review\nTriggers Wonderful Memories, September 24
EXTD=, 2003\nReviewer: Bryan Rosengarten (Seminole, FL) \nI grew up in
EXTD= Florida and went to school in Gainesville (University of Florida
EXTD=). Every DJ loved to mention that Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
EXTD= were "Homegrown" music. Even though the cliche was way over used
EXTD=, when I put this album on and blasted "Southern Accents", the on
EXTD=ly thing I ever thought of was Gainesville and the South (no matt
EXTD=er where I was). \nThe entire album is fantastic, but the shiner 
EXTD=on here is the title track. Cash thought so and so do I. Feelin a
EXTD=n itch to be in South, put on this album. Now, if I can just get 
EXTD=it back from my friend who has had it for the last 10 months.\n\n
EXTD=Amazon.com Customer Review\nOne of Tom Petty's most interesting a
EXTD=nd varied albums, June 7, 2003\nReviewer: JWP "Uncle Jesse Tanner
EXTD=" (San Jose, CA) \nThis didn't produce as many hits as many of hi
EXTD=s other albums, but I thought it was nearly as good, although it'
EXTD=s more experimental in places.\nThe most famous song is "Don't Co
EXTD=me Around Here No More" with its sitars creating a slightly psych
EXTD=adellic angry rocker with a slow beat, that changes to a fast, ha
EXTD=rder one at the end. Also, who could forget that weird Alice In W
EXTD=onderland takeoff video? In fact, that's one of the few things th
EXTD=at really actually scared me (and still does sometimes). The more
EXTD= typical, Lynard Skynard styled, fun southern rocker "Rebels" was
EXTD= a hit that should've been bigger. "Make It Better (Forget About 
EXTD=Me)" was an almost New Wave kind of fast, jumpy catchy song that 
EXTD=also was, I believe, a minor hit.\n\nThe other songs are pretty g
EXTD=ood too, even if they're not what you'd expect from Tom. The catc
EXTD=hy, mid-tempo pop/rocker "Dogs On The Run" is another song that c
EXTD=ould've been on one of his earlier albums. Also there's a couple 
EXTD=really good ballads here. The soft, emotional title track talks a
EXTD=bout southern life, and mention's Tom's mother, who died shortly 
EXTD=before this album was made. I also really liked "The Best Of Ever
EXTD=ything" which is a country sounding power rock ballad that is mor
EXTD=e lighthearted with Chicago type horns in the middle. "It Ain't N
EXTD=othin To Me" is an uptempo rhyming song that also has some New Wa
EXTD=ve sound to it. "Mary's New Car" is a mid tempo, country sounding
EXTD= song with horns. "Spike" is a bit strange, it's a dark, slower s
EXTD=ong about creepy southern hicks. Funny enough, Tom is singing the
EXTD= song himself sounding like a 60 year-old hillbilly, but maybe th
EXTD=at was the point.\n\nI wouldn't get this as a first album, I'd re
EXTD=commend the single disc "Greatest Hits" and decide which of the s
EXTD=ongs you like best, or if it had to be a studio album, probably "
EXTD=Damn The Torpedoes." I personally liked his 80s albums (as I'm pa
EXTD=rtial to that decade's styles), "Torpedoes" and anything before i
EXTD=t had more of a garage rock/classic rock sound, whereas "Full Moo
EXTD=n Fever" and everything afterwards has more of a middle-aged, les
EXTD=s rocking, modern day Bob Dylan sound. This is right in the middl
EXTD=e of those periods.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nWorth It Just 
EXTD=For 'Spike', August 20, 2002\nReviewer: The Orange Duke "orangedu
EXTD=ke" (Cupertino, Ca United States) \nIn the eighties Petty could d
EXTD=o no wrong, as this excellent album amply demonstrates. Petty's B
EXTD=yrds' infected roots rock predicts the whole alt-country/no depre
EXTD=ssion movement of the nineties, especially with this countrified 
EXTD=offering. Petty is rightly grouped with trad rock troubadours lik
EXTD=e Mellencamp and Springsteen, and as a songwriter he is practical
EXTD=ly peerless. Whether he's writing songs to express the prejudices
EXTD= of small town hicks (as in the irresistible, criminally overlook
EXTD=ed `Spike') or creating an anthem for a generation (as in `It Ain
EXTD='t Nothin To Me') Petty never misses. All the tracks are excellen
EXTD=t, so much so that the album could serve as a greatest hits for a
EXTD= less gifted artist, but worthy of special note are `Rebels' and 
EXTD=`Don't Come Around Here No More'. This album is so good that even
EXTD= the rejects, like `Two Room Apartment' (later on FULL MOON FEVER
EXTD= and PLAYBACK) were superb. An excellent place to start for those
EXTD= unfamiliar, especially recommended to fans of Uncle Tupelo and W
EXTD=ilco.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nPetty's essential recording.
EXTD=, August 5, 2002\nReviewer: A music fan\nFollowing on from "Hard 
EXTD=Promises" and the commercial failure (at least in Australia) "Lon
EXTD=g After Dark", Tom Petty, previously known for solid, stripped-do
EXTD=wn rock and roll (which makes his failure to ever rise above #15 
EXTD=in the Australian charts most surprising), took a sharp left turn
EXTD= with "Southern Accents".\nOne might think that Petty's collabora
EXTD=tion with Dave Stewart would be likely to improve his commercial 
EXTD=stocks. However, "Southern Accents" failed to reach the Top 40 in
EXTD= Australia (probably due to its rather dark, "wintry" feel), and 
EXTD=was not greeted well by many critics who expected solid rock'n'ro
EXTD=ll from Petty and the Heartbreakers. Yet, other critics have seen
EXTD= this album as Petty's masterpiece, and indeed I can only agree. 
EXTD=This album, though indeed dark, is beautifully graceful yet passi
EXTD=onate and intense.\nThroughout the album, the other Heartbreakers
EXTD= have a reduced role, with Howie Epstein being credited only as a
EXTD= backing vocalist on many tracks where David A. Stewart takes ove
EXTD=r the bass role. The tone, as said above, is much darker than any
EXTD= other Petty album, espcially on "Don't Come Around Here No More"
EXTD= (which I think of as a track Tori Amos should have included on "
EXTD=Strange Little Girls"), the beautiful title track, and the synth-
EXTD=heavy "It Ain't Nothing To Me". Petty also adds a strong funk ele
EXTD=ment, aided by the presence of David A. Stewart as co-writer and 
EXTD=producer on "It Ain't Nothing To Me" and "Make It Better (Forget 
EXTD=About Me)". "Southern Accents" is sparser than any previous Petty
EXTD= album, especially on "Spike", which manages to surprisingly reta
EXTD=in Petty's usual passion in a very sparse acoustic setting. The d
EXTD=riving "Dogs On The Run" is the nearest "Southern Accents" gets t
EXTD=o Petty's earlier albums, whilst "Rebels" and "The Best Of Everyt
EXTD=hing" take the funk element to its furthest point.\nPetty's lyric
EXTD=s complement this album very effectively and give an insight into
EXTD= his own background in Florida much more deeply than any of his o
EXTD=ther recordings. The album does have great contrasts in lyrical t
EXTD=one, particularly when one compares the despair of "Don't Come Ar
EXTD=ound Here No More" with the lighthearted "Spike".\nIf you are a P
EXTD=etty fanatic, this album will surprise you. For other listeners, 
EXTD=however, "Southern Accents" is the album to buy to get the best u
EXTD=nderstanding of Petty.\n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nPsychedelic
EXTD=, horns - wow! Great album!, May 1, 2000\nReviewer: A music fan\n
EXTD=This is a very interesting album by one of the greatest rock and 
EXTD=roll bands ever. This is the sixth album by the band; the first f
EXTD=ive were all fantastic rock & acoustic albums, but evidently Pett
EXTD=y and the boys wanted to stretch out with some new sounds on this
EXTD= one. Southern Accents was originally supposed to be a tribute to
EXTD= the band's roots in the Southeastern US, but wound up being a me
EXTD=lange of psychedelia, horns, violins, etc - much like the Beatles
EXTD= of 1967/68. This is a very creative and enjoyable album, even th
EXTD=ough the individual tracks can be dissimilar in style - leaving i
EXTD=t a bit less of a "piece" than some other albums. A lot of the so
EXTD=ngs do borrow a bit here and there from other bands, yet are unmi
EXTD=stakeably their own. "Dogs on the Run" sounds a good bit like Spr
EXTD=ingsteen, the horn laden "Mary's New Car" and "Best of Everything
EXTD=" might be at home on a Chicago (the band) album, the piano and v
EXTD=iolin driven title song "Southern Accents" (partly a tribute to P
EXTD=etty's mother, who had died a few years prior to its writing) is 
EXTD=a bit like the Beatles "Let it Be", while "Don't Come Around Here
EXTD= No More" and "It Ain't Nothing to Me" are psychedelic, with very
EXTD= interesting sounds, rhythms and textures. \nThe opening song "Re
EXTD=bels" may be the best on the album - one of the best the band has
EXTD= ever done - and it sets the tone for the whole album. "Rebels" i
EXTD=s anthemic, combines the intended Southern theme with Petty's own
EXTD= feisty "I Won't Back Down" mentality, is appropriately laced wit
EXTD=h trumpets, yet remains a strong rocker as well.\n\nI have to dis
EXTD=agree with the reviewer from Texas who feels Petty and the band h
EXTD=ad a "weak period" after Hard Promises and before Full Moon Fever
EXTD=. Actually the 3 albums of that period - Long After Dark, Souther
EXTD=n Accents, Let Me Up - are among the very best work the band has 
EXTD=ever done, or that any band has ever done for that matter. When y
EXTD=ou buy this album realize that it doesn't sound much like any oth
EXTD=er Petty/Heartbreakers album. But like virtually all other Petty 
EXTD=& Heartbreakers albums, it sounds terrific, and has the very inte
EXTD=resting and thoughtful lyrics one can always expect from Petty.\n

EXTD=st..., March 8, 2000\nReviewer: "joenumber2" (The Midwest) \nSout
EXTD=hern Accents represents Tom Petty's homage to his Deep South root
EXTD=s. Sure, Petty is a Gainesville, FL native but that doesn't fool 
EXTD=anyone. Gainesville is as much a part of the South as Atlanta, Mo
EXTD=ntgomery and Mobile. This album is also a watershed moment for Pe
EXTD=tty and his bandmates as it embodies a burgeoning period of exper
EXTD=imentation. It captures Petty in his rawest form when he is singi
EXTD=ng from his heart. You can hear the true-to-life lyrics of his pa
EXTD=st in "Rebels," "The Best of Everything" and especially the haunt
EXTD=ing "Southern Accents." The title track is the most personal of a
EXTD=ll of Petty's songs. In it, he speaks to his childhood and young 
EXTD=adult years with the wisdom of a man that can acknowledge those a
EXTD=spects of his past. The collection of songs here is a big departu
EXTD=re for the band. It is part country, part psychedelic (on the del
EXTD=icious mind candy that is "Don't Come Around Here No More"), part
EXTD= bluegrass rock and part funk. If you don't find something to ple
EXTD=ase yourself on one track, wait a few minutes and things will cha
EXTD=nge. New sounds abound as vocal distortion (It Ain't Nothin' To M
EXTD=e) and new instruments (big brass horn section and a sitar) make 
EXTD=an impression. Some consider it an uneven effort but when taken i
EXTD=n the context that it was supposed to be a double album, Southern
EXTD= Accents comes off as a "best of" collection of what Petty wanted
EXTD= to sing about. He selected these songs to give a wide palette of
EXTD= flavor to the listener and he succeeds as he transitions relativ
EXTD=ely flawlessly from the various styles on this excellent album.\n
EXTD=\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nTired, April 22, 1999\nReviewer: A 
EXTD=music fan\nThis CD was released in the middle of what I call Tom 
EXTD=Petty's "tired period"--after Hard Promises and before Full Moon 
EXTD=Fever. Like his other CDs from this period, Southern Accents is n
EXTD=ot without merit. There are a few mellow songs on this CD that ma
EXTD=y catch your fancy. They're not exactly beautiful songs, but they
EXTD='re relaxing, soothing, and make for decent mood music. "Mary's N
EXTD=ew Car" and "The Best of Everything" fall into this category. The
EXTD= title track tries to fit the category too, but the redneck senti
EXTD=ments of the song make it grow old in a hurry. Petty gets in trou
EXTD=ble when he tries to get quirky here though. "Spike" sounds like 
EXTD=stand-up comedy mutated into music. "It Ain't Nothin To Me" is ba
EXTD=sically an annoying limerick. When Petty has pop aspirations, it'
EXTD=s a hit-or-miss affair. "Don't Come Around Here No More" sounded 
EXTD=great at first, but has aged into a pleasant but not spellbinding
EXTD= song. "Rebels" and "Make It Better" are quite forgettable. The s
EXTD=ong "Dogs on the Run" doesn't seem to fit, especially right after
EXTD= another song with canine references ("Spike"). All in all, this 
EXTD=is one of Petty's weaker CDs, but not without a few charms.\n\nHa
