Southern Accents

A kind friend knew I wasn't feeling well so she brought over snacks and "Sweet Home Alabama" for both of us to watch.

During the movie she made a comment that Reece Witherspoon did NOT have an Alabama accent in the movie, but it was a very convincing Tennessee accent. Since my friend is from Alabama but lived in Nashville for awhile, I guess I'll take her word on that but, honestly, all the southern characters in the movie sounded the same to me

So tell me, Southern GreekChatters, can you all tell what parts of the south another southerner is from just by their accents? If so, that is pretty damn cool! And if this is the case, I'd like to add that it's a good thing most of you weren't yet born when "Dallas" was on or your ears would have been burning!!!
