kid rock's 2008 song "all summer long" interpolates "sweet home alabama" on the chorus and uses the guitar solo and piano outro, as well as the "turn it up" shout before the guitar solo; billy powell is featured on the track. "all summer long" also samples warren zevon's "werewolves of london", which has similar chord progression to "sweet home alabama".
