Kenny is an absolute freakshow, one of the most tasteful guys around. The first two times I saw Kenny was on Lucinda's "Car Wheels" tour and then I moved up to Nashville for 13 years and I'd go see Kenny play at Robert's every chance I got. It blew my mind that you could walk in on a weeknight, pay no cover, sit at the bar and drink your beer and eat your cheeseburger while this fire-breathing monster was killing everyone in the room.

"I first met Tom when I was opening some shows for him back in 1999. After a couple of shows he could see that the audience wasn’t exactly being receptive and so one night, much to my surprise, he went out and introduced me before the show, telling the audience they needed to listen. That says so much about who he was - and who he was to me. We were on our way to becoming lifelong friends." -Lucinda Williams facebook.com/12788249188/photos/a.426690129188/10155857719414189/?type=3

I love Lucinda's music. Been strumming Blue the past few days. Beautiful song. A friend introduced me to her music a few years ago and I couldn't get enough after that. It's a shame she doesn't get more recognition. She is truly a female Bob Dylan. She's country like Bob Dylan is country, which is what I like. Love the rock guitar counter points to her songs and she writes great lyrics. Like the video, BTW.

I'm from North Wales in the UK. I'd read about this band and ordered the record unheard (the only way to get new music back then) I became obsessed by it and played it to all my friends who gave it a lukewarm response - this was a era over overblown rock pomposity and TP & the Heartbreakers seemed like the perfect antidote to me. At the age of 17, I blagged my way onto a bus going to Knebworth Festival. Genesis were headlining and that seemed to be all anybody cared about. Sometime in the afternoon Colin (or hippy Col as he was known) suggested we try to get nearer the front and get some pictures - neither of us had a camera! As we were a bout thirty feet from the front these guys asked us if we wanted to sit down with them - they then proceeded to share everything they had with us - I never even found out their names - such cool people. Devo came on - I'd never even head them before and I was really getting into them when they were effectively bottled off. Then came Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers - it was in the middle of a hot sleepy afternoon and everybody was sleepy & stoned. Two songs later everybody was on their feet - they absolutely rocked it. I doubt I'll ever see anyone take a festival by the scruff of its neck like that again. Everybody wanted to borrow my record when I got back. I refused - I told them they should get their own copy and wear that out. I think the dirty energy that they had just kind of synced with the punk mood. That first album is still the one I go back to and I think every track has been my favourite at one time or another. Jefferson Starship were awful - the absence of Grace Slick I suppose, Genesis were Ok but it wasn't really my thing. When I got back I looked so rough (I'd barely eaten and I'd slept out in the open) my girlfriends mother, with whom I'd had a difficult relationship up to then, took pity on me made me some food and eventually became my mother-in-law.

Then Tom and the Heartbreakers came out and played an amazing show. Mike Campbell has beeen one of my favorite guitar players ever since. Went on to see Tom 2 more times. Always put on a great show...

My all time Tom Petty fave is "You Wreck Me". It's a Steve Young song on steroids. Going from the 9 down to the 4 and to the 1 is quintessential Outlaw Country. Especially Waylon. Which I suspect they got from all the blues guys and rockers back in the 50's and 60's. It's like that song "Rumble" but played over a Bo Diddly beat. One of the things I love about Tom is he wears his influences on his sleeve. He's derivative in the best meaning of the word. Thanks for the story Otis. God Bless you and Kousin Kenny!

Then, years later I got to see her open again for Tom at the Hollywood Bowl at what sadly ended up being Tom Petty's final show. That was a great night, they were both in top form. My favorites include Yer So Bad, Southern Accents, I Need to Know, Wildflowers, The Waiting and so many more

Otis, thank you so much for this. I don't think I'll ever get over Tom's early and unexpected departure. Any little peek into his life is greatly appreciated. Regarding your question: To me, Southern Accents, the album and the song, are vastly underrated and misunderstood. Tom Petty has a way of diving into emotions, and never more than in this album and the title song.

If memory serves, I first heard the great Kenny Vaughan in late July 1987 when my wife and I went to the Washington County Fair in Hillsboro, Oregon to see The Sweethearts of the Rodeo for the first time. Their lead guitarist just blew me away with his talent, so I headed over to the autograph table after the show and asked Janis and Kristine where they found that great picker with the Buddy Holly glasses. They laughed and told me they stole him out of Denver, Colorado. Saw them a second time at Portland's "Country Music on the Waterfront" festival where I got to talk to Kenny as he packed up his gear following their set. The third time came in Sept. 1988 at Seattle's "Bumbershoot Arts Festival." Watching him play guitar for those sisters reminded me so much of hearing the great Albert Lee play for The Everly Brothers when their early '80s Reunion Tour performed at the Clark County Fair just north of Vancouver, Washington.

I saw Tom in 95' - on the Dogs with Wings tour with my girlfriend at the time, when I was in High School. It was a beautiful, super hot Summer night, and they rocked so hard - and sounded so good - and it was just song after song of my girlfriend screaming, "Oh my gosh, I love this song." - and me going, "Yeah, I know." Haha. It's still, to this day, top 5 concerts I've ever seen - probably top 3 - and I've seen a lot. It was the best night of my teenage life - and a memory I'll always cherish. Tom and the Heartbreakers are in the rare category of bands that have written not one, but several timeless albums - in my opinion. Tom wrote great songs right up to the end. He never seemed to lose that teenage, rebel innocence about him, and I think that's why younger kids still listen to him. There are so many lesser known songs even, that have such simple but profound lines in them - it would be impossible to pick a favorite. I still love "Straight into Darkness", and "Have Love will Travel", and "Crawling Back to You" - and there's just too many to name. I love hearing stories about him and the band. They seemed like good guys.

@Otis Gibbs ... I’ve been a TP & The HB fan so long that it’s a ubiquitous slice of my existence. I first heard Breakdown on FM radio in late ‘76 and just had to know what band recorded that “anthem.” And boy, did I EVER find out! Nearly 46 years now...I own every Petty vinyl record album, nearly every 45rpm (domestic & import) that I could get my mitts on, and have seen him and the boys 40 or more times in his 40 years of touring, all the way from Gainesville FL to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena...I’ve got vintage concert merch that I’ve had to box up to make room for newer Petty merch... It’s just kinda special for me to know that he and his band mates grew up just up the road from me, in this godforsaken state that’s shaped like a dong...the talent, the volumes of incredible material...it’s just awe inspiring... p.s. I LOVED Hoosier National, Otis.

I love love love Tom Petty And the Heartbreakers. Since 1979. There’s to many songs to pick from. I love the all. It all depends on my mood for the day. Today’s top pick for me is Swinging from the Echo album. Tomorrow is could be Saving Grace or Room at the Top. Or somewhere over Heaven from the new album Wildflowers & All The Rest. When Tom made his album Wildflowers he had to cut out a many songs cause the record company didn’t want to release a double album. Somewhere over heaven is 1 of the great songs that got left off. I really enjoyed this . Thank you.

Being a old deadhead taper going back an re-listening to that set is still one of my guilty pleasures...Tom Petty's "I need to know" had that desperate almost punk/new wave vibe. Love that song.

It's enjoyable to encounter a music topic video where the emphasis is on the telling, instead of the selling. Cool.

Great clip Otis. Kenny is a natural storyteller, like you. I saw Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on every tour to Toronto since 1987. Each show was amazing. A few of my favourite Tom songs include Don't Come Around Here No More, How Many More Days, Runnin' Down a Dream, Crawling Back to You, I Should Have Known It and many more. As for Lucinda, Lake Charles and The Ghost of Highway 20 are two off the top of my head that I love. Keep up the good work Otis!

I saw Marty Stuart & the Superlatives at the Gruene Music Fest at Gruene Hall.... Kenny came out after they were done and watched the other acts. I thought that was a cool move. No wonder Tom Petty & Co liked you.

Fabulous interview ..only saw the Heartbreakers and Mudcruch once ...both great shows ...to date the Heartbreakers show was top 5 best shows ever. Five years ago my wife and I visited Nashville ..a friend told me to go see Kenny and Chris Skruggs at a small cafe on a Sunday night. Less than 40 or 50 in attendence. I had no idea who these guys were but what a show. The band played for Tips only. What a pleasure !

Hey Otis - I was fortunate to meet Kenny at the Calgary Folk Fest a few years ago. We lamented over his time playing with Lu (who I also met a few years before this story) and I brought up the fact that I had a live Lucinda DVD that he was on. We went on to talk music, touring, songs and Harry Stinson. One of my favourite guitar players. Peace.

That was great. They did have that look & feel of being outside 'the Rock Star' crowd. I love that they were listening to the early Stones & blues guys. Sounds like my daily listening TODAY!! I had sort of guessed there would be a bunch of Beatles & Dylan songs in there , especially since G. Harrison & Dylan & Tom were in the Travelin' Wilburys. A great interview. Thanks to Kenny & you Otis. Well done.

Southern Accents is right up there for me. Perth, Western Australia is about as far away as it gets from the place that Tom was describing, yet it’s so vividly evocative to me. His ability to cut through the bullshit and be a kind of everyman was one of his many gifts. I miss him. I always will. Listen To Her Heart and I Need To Know are terrific, too.

My friends and I always waited for the next Petty record....it was like a ride that would never end....then it did. Refugee because of a dancing moment in Berkeley at an out door gig with TP and Black Crowes....This woman and I just went mental....singing like we were on stage and screaming in each others smiling faces....but really I can throw on Petty for ages....the Fillmore Gigs....on and on...forever Tommy.
