...and good taste. She's also on the Billy Joe Shaver and Bobbie Gentry/Delta Sweete tributes.

Wow didn’t know petty wrote “ways to be wicked”. Did he put it out before the lone justice version?

At least Phoebe Bridgers is not on this. Surprised Isbell isn't.

There's some Luke Combs song my daughter plays that is just the dumbest, stupidest song ever, like he didn't have the courage of his convictions to go full "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk."

Johnny Cash did a great "Southern Accents," and of course Petty and crew are all over those albums.

Lou Barlow covered Hope You Never on his podcast last week, it sounds exactly like one of his own songs from around 20 years ago

Silkworm did a cool version of “Insider” on a 90s Petty tribute 90s. It’s worth checking out.

Cash told Petty that he felt that "Southern Accents" was a better anthem than "Dixie," and Petty replied that he couldn't really believe that, but then Cash told him that it was true because "Dixie" was a terrible song.

lol

The Petty version didn't come out until his box set in the mid-'90s.

I assume Jimmy Iovine was the connection with Lone Justice. Campbell actually plays on the Lone Justice track, and Benmont Tench is on two other songs on the album.

Tench and Maria McKee dated for a spell too.

yep. and honestly the absence of “insider” on this one makes me question the project.

Dolly is so great on this.

It's a really good version, much better than what I've heard from her "rock" album. As a resident of the South, albeit one without a Southern accent, I have mixed feelings about the "I'm not ashamed" coda. I know how Dolly means it, or how I think she means, as an anti-elitist statement. I'm just not sure that "Southern pride" more broadly is what the world needs now.
