Shout out to Neil Young in "Sweet Home Alabama"


Warren Zevon's response was typically subtle:

Play It all Night Long

quote:

"Sweet home Alabama"
Play that dead band's song
Turn those speakers up full blast
Play it all night long

Zachary Richard's "One Kiss" mentions Clifton Chenier.

Waylon Jennings references Hank Williams in both "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way" (already mentioned) and "Hank William Syndrome".

Hank Jr. mentions Sr., Cash and Waylon in "Waylon's Guitar".

Hank Jr. and Waylon's "The Conversation" is all about Hank Sr.

DAC's "The Ride" about Hank Sr.

The lyrics to Clint Black's "Tuckered Out" are all taken from various country music acts.

Garth Brooks mentions Chris Ledoux in Much To Young To Feel This Damn Old and then the whole song "Good Ride Cowboy" is about him (but can't remember if he ever says his name).
