Redlight King [1]'s "Old Man" grabs the 1972 classic by Neil Young [2], who approved a sampling of the song for the first time, and launches it into the 21st century. Young's song is sped up and updated with heavy percussion, while singer/ songwriter Mark Kasprzyk [3]'s vocals are laid over the track and present an ode to the singer's father. "My old man is a legend/ He cast a shadow so great/I think of how he is watchin'/ With every move that I make," he sings. Somehow, Kasprzyk's gruff voice and Young's thin warble blend seamlessly in the chorus, and "Old Man" ends up as the first single since Puff Daddy [4]'s 1997 hit "I'll Be Missing You" to immerse itself in a sample of another track without sounding unoriginal. Redlight King has achieved the near-impossible-and might have scored his first hit -with this respectful, modern reworking.
