Redlight King is a contemporary rock band lead by Canadian singer/songwriter Mark "Kaz" Kasprzyk. "Old Man" is the first single from their debut album, Something For The Pain. It was released to iTunes on April 12, 2011.
The song is a reluctant salute to Kaz's father, a larger-than-life figure who taught school by day and raced stock cars at night.
The song contains a sample of the 1972 Neil Young song of the same name. Young rarely entertains sampling requests, and had never before approved the sampling of "Old Man," so it wasn't a surprise when initial requests were quickly denied. However Kaz persisted and when the Canadian rocker finally heard Redlight King's version, he agreed to its use.
