Tom Petty - Rebels

[TheSuperEupher]

One of the best guitar hooks ever.

[PepperDr94]

Can you please find one of (Southern Accents) :)

[YouGotsToBeStupid]

Lost my virginty to this song in the back of my truck. Great Song

[johnskosty]

Hey. Thanks for posting this one. One of my favorites. Can't believe it's been so long but these guys have been a favorite act since late 70's. Wow. Got to see 'em live at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta in '96(?). Well worth it. Cheers.

[SCOTTDRAUD]

AWESOME!

[uni73]

Really clear audio, thanks for the upload.

[Paspiedreamcast]

wow, what is the source of this master? The original Southern Accents LP, or perhaps Playback boxset, 1997 CD Pressing or from AAC or MP3 download?

[EssK]

@Paspiedreamcast It comes from the Greatest Hits album, converted ti .mp3 prior to upload :)

Glad you enjoyed the song.

[Paspiedreamcast]

@EssK Greatest Hits doesn't include Rebels so it can't be :o the only Southern Accents track on Greatest Hits is 'Don't Come Around Here No More'

[EssK]

@Paspiedreamcast You're absolutely right. For some reason when I replied to you I had in my head that we were talking about Free Fallin'. My train of thought gets so easily side tracked ;P It was indeed Southern Accents album that the source file was from :)

[treefrogdemon]

It was the Drive By Truckers version on KOTH

[ajiekstoneman]

Yeah, GREAT sound!! TFS!!

GBU!!

[johhylan]

Rocking out!

[Paspiedreamcast]

wow very dynamic audio at the start, the way music should be!

[666cc99d]

pure magic cheers man

[SPACEZACK99]

One foot in the grave and one foot on the pedal, I was born a rebel.

[jellishamilton]

Thanks for the upload, it IS excellent sound.

[badcompany1215]

A yankee is the son of a rebel

[bigdaddydawg6988]

I remember watching the Pack Up the Plantation video. He did a simple intro to the song and then the Rebel Flag lit up the background. I thought that was so cool. Still do!

[SPACEZACK99]

Great tune from the old days, Thanks 4 posting.

[comparativeadvantage]

I like Tom Petty and I like this song, but I am still really glad that the Union crushed the Confederacy.

[Rusty09220]

@comparativeadvantage haha i know, is it bad that for a second, i almost gave the Confederacy a break just because Tom Petty likes them?

[johnyrebel188]

@Rusty09220 Look where your shitty union got you today, if the south won life for your states today would be a hell of alot better but oh no the union was all about big government and for intruding on peoples lives through mind games, deciept and lies. Thomas Jefferson would have scoffed at and overthrown this Oboma bullshit into the dumpster where it belongs. You sir are in dire need of a history lesson and a good slap in the face.

[Rusty09220]

@johnyrebel188 Hahaha Yeah im studying chemical engineering, not history or fictitious hypothetical history... but to be honest you could be right. Who knows? As for now, I guess ill just roll with what actually happened.

[comparativeadvantage]

I like Tom Petty and I like this song, but I am still really glad that the Union crushed the Confederacy.

[absinthenoir]

@comparativeadvantage  fuck you

[absinthenoir]

@comparativeadvantage fuck you i dont apprecaite you yankee fucks

[badcompany1215]

@comparativeadvantage Fuck you and your Union 

[stevobamf]

[johnrunion]

[chpman2013]

[slimstersquad]

I just heard the version from "King of the Hill" tonight. Reminded me to go check out the original. Classic stuff.

[Mrmys1900]

Do you have the version they played on "king of the hill"?

[EssK]

Not sure which version it was bud but I'll look into it for you.

[Mrmys1900]

Thanks. It's from the episode "The Redneck on Rainey Street" I don't know if Tom recorded it for the show or if it was relesed on cd

[TheOtherJeffLebowski]

@EssK That was the Drive-By Truckers. It's on their rarities album called The Fine Print.

[EssK]

I've had a look around various sources to see if I could find the version but I'm sorry to say I had no luck :(

Will keep my eyes open for it in the future though bud

[Mrmys1900]

ok. thaks for uploading this btw

[ImtheDesertFox]

@Mrmys1900 the version played on King of the Hill is a cover by the band Drive-by Truckers

[smitty5006]

@Mrmys1900 the version they played on King Of The Hill was performed by Drive By Truckers

[jdmotor]

@Mrmys1900 It was recorded by Drive-By Truckers specifically for the episode

[rckstrscott]

@Mrmys1900 if you checked the credit of the show, it indicates that it was a cover version performed by Drive By Truckers -- it can be found on youtube. Pretty funny since Petty played Lucky on that episode.. haha

[bryanthebeast1]

yeah good audio
