Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd Songfacts. Lynyrd Skynyrd is from Jacksonville, Florida. They wrote this song about their impressions of Alabama and as a tribute to the studio musicians at Muscle Shoals Sound Studios, where they recorded from 1970-1972.
Much has been written about members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the feud with Neil Young. While the lyrics of Sweet Home Alabama do take Young to task for bashing the entire South as racist in his songs Southern Man and Alabama, band members reportedly had a good-natured relationship with Young and were fans.
