We never cared that much about being tagged as a вЂsouthern rockвЂ™ band. For a band who had begun in the late 60s it was, says Powell, вЂњlike overnight success. This was their first and biggest US hit single. When Skynyrd released Sweet Home Alabama in 1974, it tore into the US Top 10. вЂњIвЂ™ve actually performed it live a couple of times myself.вЂќ Let's join, fullHD Movies/Season/Episode here : redirtoken3DjNW5P8ahgAyoytBAj96r4CenQEg1qrlbmqvAgL. вЂњShit, I think Sweet Home Alabama is a great song,вЂќ he once said. SkynyrdвЂ™s impassioned defence of the south even caught the ear of Neil Young. He had a great way with a simple story, a song you could relate to.вЂќ He was all about the working-class man, the everyday guy in the street. Rossington: вЂњRonnieвЂ™s lyrics could be very profound. And if the band lost the groove the next day, the song would be lost. I asked him once how he remembered the lyrics and he told me he just put the syllables together that fit into the groove of the music. King was similarly astonished: вЂњIt was always in his head. Then heвЂ™d memorise it I never saw him write anything down.вЂќ вЂњHe had this ability to immediately write lyrics to each idea of every song. вЂњRonnie was one of the most gifted lyricists I ever knew,вЂќ keyboard player Billy Powell told Classic Rock in one of his very last interviews. Once Van Zant had added the lyrics, Skynyrd had a ready-made Confederate classic. Kooper says heвЂ™s grown to like the solos since.вЂќ Though they were overdubs, IвЂ™d recorded them both on the first take anyway with no mistakes. But the guys in the band, being from the south and believing in superstition and dreams, told Kooper the solos needed to stay as IвЂ™d played them. вЂњFour days later, in the studio,вЂќ King continues, вЂњAl told me he couldnвЂ™t use the solos because I had played them in the wrong key. Producer Al Kooper had his reservations, though. At rehearsal the next day I just plugged the solos into the spots where we had rehearsed them and they fit perfectly.вЂќ I immediately woke up, got the guitar and started playing what IвЂ™d seen in the dream. The night after we wrote Sweet Home Alabama I had a dream in which I played both the short and long solos. King says the song took just half-an-hour to write, but the solos had an altogether more mystic origin: вЂњI used to sleep with my guitar next to the bed. DAILY DOSE Sweet home Alabama, not smelling so sweet Tuesday, April 3rd 2018. But GaryвЂ™s part was the catalyst that started the ball rolling.вЂќ Sweet Home Alabama Movie (2002) Teaser Trailer.

вЂњI put my guitar part on top of his as a counterpoint. вЂњGary was playing a pattern that you can hear behind the verses,вЂќ King says. Ed King had become intrigued by a guitar rhythm that Rossington had been tinkering with in the studio. What really propels Sweet Home Alabama is its burning guitar riff.

We didnвЂ™t know that song would be so big, or turn into such a big deal with Neil Young fans.вЂќ Those lines about Southern Man were almost like a play on words. вЂњRonnie used to wear Neil Young T-shirts all the time. Of course, Sweet Home Alabama will please anyone who liked the music in the movie, but the soundtrack really isn't successful on any other terms.Gary Rossington, the only surviving original member in the current Skynyrd line-up, is keen to play down any talk of a Neil Young stand-off. In fact, aside from Dolly Parton's 'Marry Me,' the most country-sounding tracks on the album are Sheryl Crow's 'Long Gone Lonesome Blues' and Uncle Kracker's 'To Think I Used to Love You (DJ Homicide Remix).' A flat version of 'Keep Your Hands to Yourself' by the Calling and the Freestylers' out-of-place big-beat number 'Weekend Song' are a couple of the misguided attempts at making the track listing diverse, but the album just ends up unfocused. Most of the album features winsome, perky, or feisty music by female artists, such SHeDAISY's 'Mine All Mine' and Avril Lavigne's 'Falling Down,' who sound so similar to each other that it's hard to believe one song is considered contemporary country and the other alternative-leaning teen pop. Despite the cognitive dissonance that Jewel's glossy cover of Skynryd's title track causes, it's actually not a bad reworking of the Southern rock classic into an adult alternative single. The mildly entertaining romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama features an equally take-it-or-leave-it soundtrack that mixes country, rock, and pop and excerpts of George Fenton's score.
