The song "Houndsman" by JJ Lawhorn is a tribute to the people who love hunting with their dogs. The lyrics describe the excitement of the houndsman as they prepare to go on a hunt. The dogs are stacked and packed in the back of the truck, and the houndsman can't wait to let them loose. The dogs are so fast that they could beat Richard Petty, a famous NASCAR driver, in a slow race. The song also mentions different breeds of dogs that houndsmen use for hunting, including Treeingwalkers, Tennessee Plotts, and Rhodesian Ridgebacks. The houndsman doesn't discriminate against any breed of dog, as long as they have the instinct and drive to hunt. Overall, the song celebrates the bond between the houndsman and their dogs and the thrill of the hunt. It recognizes the hard work and dedication that houndsmen put into training and caring for their dogs.
