Michael Washburn talks about “Southern Accents,” Tom Petty’s deeply flawed concept album about the South, and its artistic failure and public controversy. Petty made extensive use of the iconography of the American Confederacy — something he soon came to regret.
We’ll discuss how the record both grew out of, and reinforced enduring but flawed assumptions about Southern culture, and break the album down track by track. We'll also throw in our favorite and least favorite Tom Petty records.
