I was just listening to Fairport Convention today and thinking you might like them. “Genesis Hall” mentions whiskey & wine.

Nice list! I love “Cool Water”! (And you love “I Hung My Head.”) Forgot to suggest Loretta Lynn: “Wine, Women and Song” and “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ With Lovin’ On Your Mind.”

Alternative George drinking songs include “Tennessee Whiskey” (if you are willing to be open-minded about the state border) and “Beer Run (B Double E Double Are You In),” which I think is a duet with Garth Brooks or somebody. The Nanci song is on “Other Voices Too: A Trip Back to Bountiful,” which I think I promised to copy for you guys and then my CD burner broke and has remained broken… sorry about that.

Blood on the Saddle is awesome, there’s some great stuff on those sets, good link! What’s a good George Jones alternative to If Drinkin’ Don’t Kill Me? I can’t believe there’s a Nanci Griffith song that Christy doesn’t own but this appears to be the case. I’ll have to track it down! I’m up for Willie Nelson, the best part is I only have one album of his which came free with a bottle of bourbon. So, really, something needs to go on the mix from that.

George Jones, hello? I would also bust out some old Willie Nelson. I like Uncle Tupelo for drinking as well — they do a nice “Moonshiner,” which Bob Dylan recorded as well, if you are anxious for Dylan. I like Nanci Griffith’s song “Canadian Whiskey” very much. I will keep thinking about this!
