LaGrange is a small town in Texas, the "shack out side LaGrange" was the infamous "chicken ranch". Was a very well know bordello. Was called "chicken ranch" cause back in the depression era, the madam would trade "favors" for chickens. Each year the Texas Longhorns and Texas Aggies would play a football game, the winning teams seniors were treated to a night at the chicken ranch by the losing teams alumni. This went on for YEARS, this was till Marvin Zindler of Eyewitness News from Houston did an expose on the chicken ranch and the public outcry from the big cities made them shut it down. I've seen ZZ Top I think 19 times. RIP The Dust
The hat has a wicked cool history, as I understand it (I am NOT an authority or expert on this) it is hand made by a certain tribe and only worn by tribal chiefs and Billy Gibbons.
What should we react to next from ZZ Top?

Beer drinkers and hell raisers.
This is the song that put them on the map in the mid 70s. I saw them in early 1975. Just incredible as a live band.
Bought this album as soon as it came out.Neighbors were calling.

The song is about the bordello known as the Chicken Ranch. Dolly Pardon & Burt Reynolds did a movie about it. R.I.P Dusty Hill.

I believe it was a gift exchange with an African chieftain. He asked Billy for his cowboy hat and the chief gave him this in return.
Wig hats .

The vocals sound different because he is impersonating the voice of bluesman John Lee Hooker.
