Howington Brothers - Tennessee Rooster Fight (2:13)

Lord only knows how the Howington Brothers were able to convince the good folks at Decca to release a cockfighting 45.

Speaking of cockfighting, below is a picture I snapped while having breakfast at South Of The Border in Dillon, SC last summer. Not too many restaurants are willing to put velvet cockfighting paintings on the wall for their customers to enjoy so I thought it would be worth noting.

This is one of those song titles that seems to have a pretty high batting average, from Stax and Hi in Memphis all the way to the pre-Columbian United Kingdom.

The Cobras - Restless

Willie Mitchell - Restless
