Songs that mention whisky

So, I'll start off with 1, 2, 3, 4 by Alan Doyle, a bit of rousing folk-rock. At least I think that would be the genre...

George Thorogood - One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer

@Nelom, I would think that this one by your namesake would qualify -

The Gambler:

Sammy Davis, Jr., singing Gimme Some from the musical Golden Boy:

@Nelom which to choose from. For starters, here is "whiskey in the jar". Next choice was which version to choose - the Dubliners, Thin Lizzie, Metallica, the Irish Rovers..... Enjoy

@Nelom Next up, Tennessee Whisky

Gentlemen, referring to this site I would suggest " It was the whiskey talking ( not me )" by Jerry Lee Lewis.

The Pogues Streams of Whisky sung by Shane McGowan, the quintessential Irish piss-head.

Traffic: John Barleycorn.

Finnegan's Wake, the classic on the re-vivifying powers of whiskey:

Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar

"I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine

[Hey hey]

And for my good old buddy I spent my last dime

[Hey hey]

My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time

And my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine"

@Nelom If it's a public Spotify playlist, I'll see if I can embed it in your post...

I have a "whisky" playlist on my iPod that I can mine for some posts when I get a chance to dig up the YouTube clips and be like the cool kids here.

For now, though, I'll say that anyone who likes whisky songs should make the acquaintance of The Tossers. Their album "Emerald City" especially is packed to the gills with stompers about the brown stuff.

Oh, wow, lots of music posted since I was last here. That's great stuff.

@jeanluc I wouldn't recommend embedding my particular playlist, as some songs are only very tangentially related to whisky. But, since this thread had taken off a little bit, I'll start a new one and include all the songs people post here. Provided they're available on Spotify that is. I'll make sure to add new songs to it as people post them. It'll take me a day or two, I'll send it to you when I have it.

Since I'm posting, here's another song I came upon the other day. Apparently Kiefer Sutherland does music? Who knew...

"Family Tradition" by Hank Williams Jr

Lordy I have loved some ladies, and I have loved Jim Beam They both tried to kill me, in nineteen seventy three

"Closing Time" by Leonard Cohen

Ah we're drinking and we're dancing, and the band is really happening, And the Johnnie Walker wisdom running high

"Lagavulin" by Wide Mouth Mason

They may not be very well-known outside of Canada, but they are (were?) a great live act.

Oh who do I think that I'm foolin, with my weed and wine and Lagavulin?

(no actual video for this song, but I found a compilation/montage that works)

"I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood

Whiskies mentioned: Wiser's, Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Johnnie Walker Black, Johnnie Walker Red

Warning: Video may be NSFW

Did anyone mention "Whiskey River" by Willie Nelson?

Whiskey Man by The Who

Ed Sheeran Galway Girl

She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shot gun Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

Rory Gallagher Too Much Alcohol

Anything by "Whiskeytown"? One of my favourite songs is Jacksonville Skyline

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats - S.O.B. Whisky isn't mentioned, it is implied.

The Doors - Alabama Song "Well, show me the way to the next whisky bar."

@jeanluc, The Doors! ...my favourite rock group. I saw those guys perform in 1968. Big Sis @Maddie had to take my friends and me to the concert. We didn't drive yet. For a big mind trip, sit through the entire 1930 Kurt Weill opera, The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, which includes the pre-existing Bertolt Brecht Alabama Song. I saw that opera once. It was quite interesting and certainly weird enough, but once was enough.

AC/DC -Have a drink on me

"Trying to walk a straight line on Sour Mash and cheap wine"

@Victor, The Doors, also my favourite rock group , slightly ahead of The Clash and The Tragically Hip.

Here is the Weill-Brecht Alabama Song from the opera:

I'm a hard rock/metalhead. Have to go with 'whiskey hangover' by Godsmack.
