The song remains a staple in southern and classic rock, and is arguably the band's signature song. We loved Neil Young and all the music he’s given the world. It wasn’t cutting him down, it was cutting the song he wrote about the South down. Because no matter where you’re from, sweet home Alabama or sweet home Florida or sweet home Arkansas, you can relate. You guys forget that not everybody had the chance to buy the Madison releases, specially the new fans.

A great story of discovering ones self and realizing true love. I understand your point Boxcar, it makes perfect sense to me. But then again we have to think about the new fan who wishes to have the shows in silver disk. 1 - Get luck and find the original Madisons in good condition on auctions but probably very expensive . 2 - Buy a rip-off for a good price (I'm talking about 30 euros for brand new sealed double disk set). Well, I see myself forced to go with option number 2.
Live video"Sweet Home Alabama" on YouTube"Sweet Home Alabama" is a song by American southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on the band's second album Second Helping . It was written in response to Neil Young's 1970 song "Southern Man", which the band felt blamed the entire South for American slavery; Young is name-checked and dismissed in the lyrics. It reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974, becoming the band's highest-charting single. "Sweet Home Alabama" was a major chart hit for a band whose previous singles had "lazily sauntered out into release with no particular intent." The hit led to two television rock show offers that the band declined.
Background and recording
This band was always about just playing the music, but those songs have become a soundtrack to a lot of people’s lives. “Sweet Home Alabama” is still played on the radio a lot, and when people hear the first little beat of it, their reaction is to sing. If you can write a song that makes people have emotions and show their feelings, that’s a powerful thing and a beautiful thing. Now there are people saying roll tide with it and there is a new generation who hears it and relates.
In addition to the original appearance on Second Helping, the song has appeared on numerous Lynyrd Skynyrd compilations and live albums. In 1977, a tragic airplane crash in Mississippi killed three members of the band, including Van Zant. A decade later, the band reformed with Van Zant’s younger brother Johnny as the lead singer. He’s still the frontman today, and the band recently released a live album, is working on a new studio album, and is on tour . More than forty years ago, on August 13, 1973, Lynyrd Skynyrd released its debut self-titled album (helpfully subtitled “Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd.”). They were an instant hit, opening for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour, and charting “Free Bird,” which would go on to become one of the most iconic power ballads of the era, if not all time.

Don't you think that this is an opportunity for the new people to have these shows for a reasonable price? The original Madisons could cost a little fortune EACH on eBay. Rip-off or not, TNT is not forcing anyone to buy their stuff, so why do you guys get so pissed off about re-releases? I've already ordered mine for an excellent price and am very happy. In May 2006, National Review ranked the song #4 on its list of the 50 greatest conservative rock songs. "All Summer Long" also samples Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London", which has similar chord progression to "Sweet Home Alabama".
Determined to end their marriage and sever all ties with her past once and for all, Melanie returns to Alabama. But home starts to tug at her heartstrings, and what she thought she wanted may not be what she wants at all. I love being Southern because of the people and the fans we have. People down here are more friendly—really warm people.
She must choice between her new life in New York City and the one she left behind in Pigeon Creek, Alabama. The theme of the film is that you can't be two different people; you have to be who you are. You have to face your life and your past and not pretend that you are someone you're not. It’s the little picking part and I kept playing it over and over when we were waiting on everyone to arrive for rehearsal. Ronnie and I were sitting there, and he kept saying, play that again. Then Ronnie wrote the lyrics and Ed and I wrote the music.
If only Madison could reprint or re-release their stuff... If only Madison could recommend a good label to keep up their stuff... In 2002, the song inspired the title and plot of the film Sweet Home Alabama. In September 2007, Alabama governor Bob Riley announced that the phrase "Sweet Home Alabama" would be used to promote Alabama state tourism in a multimillion-dollar ad campaign.
We just had a dream that we could make it in a band and it came true. It ended really quick and tragically, but it started back. Everyone thought it was about Neil Young, but it was more about Alabama. We had toured there, going all around playing clubs and National Guard armories. When we were out in the country driving all the time, we would listen to the radio. Neil Young had “Southern Man,” and it was kind of cutting the South down.
