"Sweet Home Alabama," a Southern rock anthem by Lynyrd Skynyrd, was released in 1974 on their second studio album, *Second Helping*. Written by band members Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, and Ed King, the song was crafted in response to Neil Young's critiques of the South in his songs "Southern Man" and "Alabama." Despite the playful feud, "Sweet Home Alabama" has become a timeless classic, celebrating Southern pride with its iconic opening guitar riff and catchy chorus. The song continues to resonate as a tribute to the band's roots and the spirit of Alabama.
