Hillbilly Hoedown - The Howington Brothers on Decca



"Two Faced" b/w "Tennessee Rooster Fight" by Roy and Dub Howington was one of the first hillbilly 45s I ever bought back in the mid-90s. I long enjoyed the backwoods cornpone of "Tennessee Rooster Fight" from these Virginia boys. A few years back I came across a second Decca 45 which has a much straighter feel to it. Fine, fine stuff that jumps a bit, making it hard not to tap a toe or two to it.
