Leave it to Dolly Parton to just be total and complete, beautiful class. It’s a rare a wonderful thing that she just did. Dolly Parton covered the Tom Petty classic ‘Southern Accents’ and it’s damn near perfect. Her voice is made for this song. She gives ‘Southern Accents’ her own Dolly treatment and its great. She also gives a fitting tribute to Tom Petty. The video is just a great watch. Not mauldin or over the top sad. It’s a sneak peek in the life of one of Americas great singer songwriters, Tom Petty. The choice of clips that play throughout are fantastic. Do we wish Tom Petty was still here? Absolutely. Did he have a wonderful life and make some timeless music? Yes. Dolly Parton manages to balance both of these things with beauty, class and grace. It’s a great cover of a great song. Southern Accents by Tom Petty. I looked for more info in the video’s description, but whoever directed and to whoever chose the clips of Tom? You deserve a lot of credit. Well done.
How Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing!
I really dug what Dolly did with that song. She’s great. Glad you liked it too! Guess there’s a whole country album of various artists covering Petty. Might have to check that out!
