===''Southern Accents'' and ''Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)'' (1985–1988)===
On the sixth album, ''[[Southern Accents]]'' (1985), the Heartbreakers picked up where they had left off.{{clarify|date=December 2008}} The recording was not without problems; Petty became frustrated during the mixing process and broke his left hand when punching a wall. The album included the [[Psychedelic rock|psychedelic]]-sounding hit single "[[Don't Come Around Here No More]]" (#13 U.S.), which was produced by and co-written with [[Dave Stewart (Eurythmics)|Dave Stewart]]. The video for the single, which starred Stewart, featured Petty dressed as [[Hatter (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)|the Mad Hatter]], mocking and chasing [[Alice (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)|Alice]] from the book ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'', then cutting and eating her as if she were a cake. This caused minor controversy after it was criticized by [[Feminism|feminist]] groups,{{Citation needed|date=October 2008}} but the video did win an [[MTV Video Music Award]].

A successful concert tour led to the live album ''[[Pack Up the Plantation: Live!]]'' (1985). The band's live capabilities were also showcased when [[Bob Dylan]] invited the Heartbreakers to join him on his [[True Confessions Tour]] through Australia, Japan and the U.S. (1986) and Europe (1987). Petty praised Dylan, saying, "I don't think there is anyone we admire more."

Also in 1987, the group released ''[[Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)]]'', a studio album made to sound like a live recording, using a technique they borrowed from Dylan. It includes "[[Jammin' Me]]" (#18 U.S.), which Petty wrote with Dylan and [[Mike Campbell (musician)|Campbell]]. Dylan recorded a version of the Petty composition "Got My Mind Made Up" on his album ''[[Knocked Out Loaded]]'', which was credited as being written by Dylan and Petty.
