"Redneck Friend" (or, alternately, "Red Neck Friend") is a song written and performed by American singer-songwriter Jackson Browne, released as the first single from his 1973 album For Everyman, and notable for its double entendre lyrics and guest appearances by Glenn Frey and Elton John, as well as the first appearance of David Lindley on a Jackson Browne single.

[5] William Ruhlmann at Allmusic.com wrote that Browne "unsuccessfully looked for another hit single with the up-tempo" song.

[6] The musicians who are credited with playing on the recording are Lindley on slide guitar, Frey on vocal harmony, Jim Keltner on drums, and Doug Haywood on bass.

For Janet Maslin, reviewing the For Everyman album in 1973 in Rolling Stone, the "glibness gets out of hand" with the song, which, she writes, "sounds like too deliberate an attempt to create a single by someone whose art, even at its most casual, remains too complex for strictly AM audiences".

[10] Cash Box said that Browne "follows his first hit with another rocker that will score tons of chart points on its way to a destined top 20 position".
