1973 Songs: La Grange

Tweet

Bob Uecker likes to joke that his lifetime batting average was .212 during his baseball career. (Well, it’s really no joke…) Our weathermen aren’t doing that well. They told us severe weather, then it didn’t happen, so they canceled the “alert day”…then we get golf ball sized hail at 3:30 in the morning! (Disclaimer: parts of Louisville had big hail, I personally did NOT.) Makes ‘em want to sing the blues, so let’s go back to 1973 for a rockin’ blues tune! La Grange - ZZ Top Haw haw haw haw! I’ve mentioned it before, but here’s the song so I’ll mention it again. This is about the town where the “Chicken Ranch,” the brothel that was the subject of the play and movie The Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas, was located. And of course that “Little Ole Band From Texas” would pay homage to such a legendary place! Darn near every state has a La Grange (there’s a LaGrange about 20 miles outside of Louisville)), but only Texas has the La Grange!!!! La Grange Written by Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill, and Frank Beard Recorded by ZZ Top From Tres Hombres, 1973 Just let me know:
