“The best version I have heard is oddly done by the Leningrad Cowboys with the Russian Army Choir.”

That is odd, especially since that song was written in response to the lefty song ‘Southern Man’ by Neil Young.

Eh, I like Neil Young but I was glad about this push back.

I’d like to know when was your fave version recorded?

We were living in Tulsa when the song first became popular of course sung by Lynnerd Skynnerd or however they spell it. That would have been around 1974.

Having grown up very near the Alabama line and attended school in Alabama, I always liked it.

I have no idea when the Leningrad Cowboys along with the red army chorus recorded it first.

I actually do like the one by the Cowboys a little better than the original
