Southern Man (song)
Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote their song "Sweet Home Alabama" in response to "Southern Man" and "Alabama" from Young's 1972 album "Harvest". Young has said that he is a fan of both "Sweet Home Alabama" and Ronnie Van Zant, the lead vocalist for Lynyrd Skynyrd. "They play like they mean it," Young said in 1976. "I'm proud to have my name in a song like theirs." Young has also been known to play "Sweet Home Alabama" in concert occasionally. To demonstrate this camaraderie, Van Zant frequently wore a Neil Young "Tonight's the Night" T-shirt while performing "Sweet Home Alabama". Crazy Horse bassist Billy Talbot can often be seen reciprocating by wearing a Jack Daniel's-styled Lynyrd Skynyrd T-shirt (including at the "Live Rust" concert).
Sweet Dream Woman
"Sweet Dream Woman" is a song written by Chip Taylor and Al Gorgoni, and recorded by American country music artist Waylon Jennings. Jennings cut the song in September and October of 1971 at RCA Studios in Nashville, with Ronny Light producing. That recording was released in June 1972 as the second single from the album "Good Hearted Woman". The song reached number 7 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
