"Southern Man" from the 1970 album "After the Gold Rush"
It's important to note that there was no problem between Neil Young and the band, in fact, they were just "taking a jab" at him...it was all tongue in cheek. Read up on how Sweet Home Alabama was written by the guys. It led most non-southerners to believe that's where the band was from....but nay nay, they were from my hometown of Jacksonville Fl. They wrote it after doing several trips to Alabama to record and simply loved the state, as most do, if you ever visited. Great song that for some reason, always reminds me of Florida lol....go figure.
Neil's Harvest record of 1972 has a song called "Alabama" a response to " Sweet home Alabama" ? before it was released. Maybe.

∙ 13y ago"Sweet Home Alabama" was written at least partially in response to Canadian artist Neil Young's song's "Alabama" and "Southern Man." The song was received by the audience as a much needed reassertion of Southern pride, following a difficult period in which the South had been much criticized.

∙ 13y agoActually Neil Young's "Southern Man" predates Sweet Home Alabama and a line in the latter song seems to be more of a response to Neil Young's song than vice versa. The line being: "And I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern Man don't need him 'round "

∙ 14y agoThe song in question is "Southern Man". Skynrd took the song as a personal offense being that they were southern and so this was their reply.
