Are you thinking of "Southern Man" by Neil Young?
Neil Young wrote the lyrics for those songs. Neil almost always writes both his music and lyrics.
'Southern Man' was included in Neil Young's album 'After the Gold Rush'. The album was recorded from August 1969 thru June 1970.
An old man. He was the groundskeeper at Neil Young's ranch when he first bought it.
not sure exactly what you mean. Southern Man by Neil Young is mentioned
Neil Young
SWEET HOME ALABAMA was written and performed by Lynyrd Skynyrd in answer to Neil Young's SOUTHERN MAN
Neil Young does not have a song called 'Man of War'. The song 'War of Man' is from the album 'Harvest Moon'.
Old Man by Neil Young was on April 17, 1972 on his album Harvest. The song is about an old man and a young man and about how one's age doesn't change one's basic needs.
"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.
There is no harmonica in that song.
