Two cautionary tales from Right Wing Folk Singer Janet Greene. Couldn't find an exact year, but looks early sixties. Watch out Pete Seeger!

Woman Hungry (MP3)

Porter Wagoner - Woman Hungry

"When a man gets woman hungry, he'll find a meal somewhere."

This brilliant track, from songwriter Gene Chrysler (sometimes Crysler), pushes food/sex metaphors to their limit and was a minor hit for Porter Wagoner in late 1967.

Hank Penny - Southern Fried Chicken (2:24)


And while on the subject of chicken, I'll never have a better excuse for blogging this photo depicting country entertainers Johnny Russell and Kenny Price in the aftermath of a 1975 fried chicken eating contest held in Akron, Ohio. Price won handily, wolfing down 18 pieces to Russell's 15.
