Music To Roast Turkey By

The surprising thing about putting together this Thanksgiving list is how often the turkey is the subject of song for so many Obscure Delta Blues Men. My favorite has to be “Turkey Leg Mama” by Doctor Ross. Or maybe it's "Turkey and the Rabbit" by T-Model Ford.

“Turkey Donuts,” as the title implies, is a weird little piece of nonsense that’s so silly you may wake up humming it tomorrow.

George Foreman, yes that George Foreman, gives thanks to Jesus in “Thank You Jesus Part 2.” And, yes, there is a part one… and a part three. It’s four minutes of your life that you’ll never get back, but the payoff (in the last few seconds) is worth it.

Anyway, we’ve got plenty of weirdness here, coupled with some guilty pleasures just to keep aunt Edna away from the jukebox. So pour yourself another wine, gather ‘round the kitchen table, and whistle while you roast (the turkey).

Happy Thanksgiving from the Gulf.
