Lynyrd Skynyrd and Neil Young I've been fascinated with Neil Young's influence on other bands ever since I heard Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" from 1974 which was written in response to two Young anti-southern songs, "Southern Man", from the album After the Gold Rush, and "Alabama", from the album Harvest.

Lynyrd Skynyrd and Neil Young I've been fascinated with Neil Young's influence on other bands ever since I heard Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" from 1974 which was written in response to two Young anti-southern songs, "Southern Man", from the album After the Gold Rush, and "Alabama", from the album Harvest.

dOc DVD Review: Lynyrd Skynyrd: Freebird: The Movie & Tribute Tour (1996) While the flesh may have died in that Mississippi swamp, the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd would live on, and like the pheonix rising from the ashes, the surviving members of the band would return to the stage ten years after the accident to carry on the legacy of their fallen comrades for the Tribute Tour. Their first album broke the Top 40, earning gold record status, and featured several great songs, including their tribute to the late Duane Allman, one that would become the band's anthem— Freebird. The band is in top form, with Ronnie Van Zant's haunting stage presence anchoring the triple guitar assault of Gary Rossington, Allen Collins and Steve Gaines. www.digitallyobsessed.com /showreview.php3?ID=2846   (592 words)
