  • What a wonderful version of this classic Young tune! But it ended before it was finished!

    @Knightowl2006, as a long standing fan of Southern Rock, I always thought that the skynyrd boys took Neil a little too personally with this song.

    And of course anybody can sing any song that appeals to the universality of life!

    Les americains and les francaise sont tres bon amis!

    Jd, the musicman is right about 4 Way Street, find it , buy it , and own it!

  • yes the guitar of neil young is sounding. Where is he?

  • Paul, si'il te plait...

    Play Skynyrd, not that twerp Neil Young...

  • paul is an amazing guitarist, but french men shouldnt be able to cover this song. this is about american history which they know nothing of.

  • Does that mean american bands should not wirte songs baout other people's history? Oh, btw, American War of Independence, the main ally of America was who? Oh yes the French, and their philosophies also infleunced the US constituition and government so...

  • Paul P. is good but Neil Youngs guitar in this song has an inner tone that you don't find here - a tone of despair and Neil pickin' is kind of hesitating that makes the whole song so affectionate.

  • Nice points and your Cowgirl in the Sand is fine too. Funny, Southern Man is one song I got sick of after hearing it a dozen or so times. Normal Neil plays everything just perfect. I can listen to Live Rust Powderfinger riffs with Billy Talbot harmonies any day of the week.

  • Neil Young wrote the song. The best version available anywhere is on Crosby Stills Nash & Young's live double album called "4 Way Street". Its also available on CD but hard to find. Southern Man on 4 way Street is about 11 minutes and rocks. One of my favorite songs and I never get tired of hearing it. Nice guitar work on this version here on YT.

  • en fait chercher pas les ricains ce qui vous manque c'est le feeling Nous nous sommes vous vous chercher a etre . Open your soul

  • Peut être mais ; moi je joue de la gratte, mais j'ai pas l'impression que j'essaye de me la jouer américain, même si mes influences vienne de la principalement, cette musique me touche, ce n'est pas une question de pays ou de patriotisme exacerbé c'est du moi, à par ça le son de cette video est pourri, let the good time roll

  • au moins je suis moins seul a aimer les riffs de stephen stills et de neil young j'espere paul que tu joue sur des " gretsh" comme il se doit lol

  • CSN&Y own this song, but without any good quality vid of their performance. This really is an adequate substitute. Paul Personne is a great and accomplished musician. Sadly though not enough French artists get their due. If Paul had been American he'd be World famous now. That's life I guess!

  • I thought it was a Neil Young solo song? Did CSN write this with him?

  • hi! & his web site is here paulpersonne dot fr

  • wow

    who is playing the guitar??

    Whoever plays it, he play is veryyy well

  • A French guitarist and singer whose name is Paul Personne.

  • Yeah! Awesome !

  • Paul Personne rocks

  • Paul Persone is a french guy who plays the blues

    in France for many years

    i saw him yesterday in Paris : his southern man was terrific !!!!

  • yo c'est toi là brice ?

    seb bass

  • Waouh !

    I like this song. Where from comes this guy, it is a killer !!!!

    Thanks a lot for this performance

  • i cant really understand what you said but if you were asking were he comes from he is from canada.

  • Paul Personne is The French Guitar Hero,

    He was Born in 1949 near Paris.

    He has been in Rock'nRoll for decades now :

    a lot of CD's and 2 DVD's Live to buy ;-)

  • Nope, he is from France.

  • I think keioffice meant the song is Canadian. It's originally done by Neil Young, who is Canadian--it's from After the Gold Rush. Fantastic album and song. This guy does it justice.
