Southern Accents LP

Album Details

After issuing five classic albums in a six year span, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers took nearly three years to finish their sixth album Southern Accents (1985), a more experimental and conceptual affair which found the famous frontman examining his Southern roots. Utilizing a pair of producers (Dave Stewart and Jimmy Iovine) as well as outside musicians for the first time, the results are both compelling and distinct in the band's rich catalog. Home to the offbeat hit "Don't Come Around Here No More," plus enterprising cuts like "Rebels," "Southern Accents" and "Make It Better (Forget About Me)"
