You think you can get everything out of an album in just a few listens?
I just heard this. I've been listening to this album since the day it came out in 1974. I seriously just heard this come from my speakers for the first time today (quoted from the Sweet Home Alabama Wikipedia page):
"There is a semi-hidden vocal line in the second verse after the line "Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her". In the left channel, you can hear the phrase "Southern Man" being sung lightly (approximately at 0:55). This was producer Al Kooper doing a Neil Young impression and was just another instance of the band members amusing themselves in the studio while being recorded. According to Leon Wilkeson, it was Kooper's idea to continue and echo the lines from "Southern Man" after each of Van Zant's lines. "Better...keep your head"..."Don't forget what your / good book says", etc. But Van Zant insisted that Kooper remove it, not wanting to plagiarize or upset Young. Kooper left the one line barely audible in the left channel."
Wouldn't have even known about this album but for The Needle Drop.
Wonderfully Moody, Dark and Strange.
Fans of Spiderland would like this.
