All is not right with the world. We’ve lost Tom Petty.
It’s hard to believe he was 66, because Petty’s music had a way of connecting with all generations. I’m 36 - right in the heart of the grunge generation and Tom Petty is as relevant to my youth as anyone else’s.
Petty has been honored with a mural in his hometown of Gainesville, Florida, which is of course, also the home of the University of Florida.
So Petty’s death got me thinking - how do we rank the bands that came out of SEC Country?
