"Gallo del Cielo" is a Tom Russell song first recorded by Ian Tyson in the 1980s but the version I first heard was by Joe Ely on his "Letter to Laredo" album released in the mid-1990s. Jason does a very nice job with this one....... good request by Jacob!
Thanks so much Jacob for this terrific request! I thought I'd heard it before but I couldn't place it until Dennis mentioned Ian Tyson and then the penny dropped. Always like Tom Russell's writing, and this is a fabulous one. Thanks Don for the great reaction, and yes it's a 10 --- no argument from me on that!!!
Yay my third 10! I'm not a fan of cock fighting but I've always liked this song. I knew you enjoyed stories in songs as much as I did so I figured I had to show you this one
You can't put game fowl with regular poultry birds they would kill them and they are territorial and will fight all birds around and will kill other chickens

Good choice. My favorite version of this is Joe Ely Live at Antones. Great song no matter who performs it.

@jacobherricks6951 You totally nailed it with this one, my brotha!!
Do Proud Souls and it'll be another one.
@Not Abot I think hes done that one
This is one of my favorite ones to listen to by Jason Boland & the Stragglers.
They strap spurs/knives to the birds feet. The are designed to puncture deep. Hit the heart. Or they just bleed out.
@PapaFixIt Damn, that’s some barbaric shit right there.
Haven't heard this, but cockfighting isn't legal in most places in the USA. Don't like to think about them fighting until death.

Not just some guy stole the land the worst Mexican villain of them all pancho villa. Because he stole lots of land in real life.
