"If Neil Young proved anything in his feud with Lynyrd Skynyrd (actually 'more like a spirited debate between respectful friends,”'writes Ultimate Classic Rock), it’s that Canadians could play southern rock just as well as the Southern Man, an argument more or less also won at the same time by The Band’s Music from Big Pink. Young’s songwriting contributions to the tradition are just as well recognized as 'The Weight.' Foremost among them, we must place 'Powderfinger,' covered by everyone from Band of Horses to Cowboy Junkies (below) to Rusted Root to Phish, and which Young sent to Ronnie Van Zant, who might have recorded it for the next Skynyrd album had he not died in 1977. ..."
