Sorry You're Sick

Well folks, that's it for the drinking songs. Another box checked off the STWOF to-do list...

I know I missed some good ones, but I'm all out of booze (and out of steam), so the rest will have to wait for another day. Right now, I just need some sleep!

Until we meet again, enjoy these tunes:

Ted Hawkins - Sorry You're Sick (buy)
Lefty Frizzell & Johnny Bond - Sick, Sober & Sorry (buy)
George Jones - Heartaches & Hangovers (buy)
Kris Kristofferson - Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down (buy)
Hank Thompson - Hangover Tavern (buy)

I'll be back when the cuckoo wails and the lonesome blue jay cries...

Whose Barn? What Barn? My Barn!

They don't call him the Killer for nothing. Here is a killer take on a killer tune. I love the hair-flyin', foot-stompin', knee-knockin' thing that he does:



Not that you're warmed up, here's a great track from Jerry Lee's classic live album, Live at the Star Club:

Jerry Lee Lewis – Money (buy album).

Don't say Jerry wasn't versatile. Here's one of the best all-time country drinking songs (and country song titles):

Jerry Lee Lewis – What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me) (buy album).

If you haven't already, get some Jerry Lee in your collection today.

To sample a few more, check out Outlaw Blues.

UPDATE!:

Snuh's comment reminded me of the Hank Thompson version of What's Made Milwaukee Famous:

Hank Thompson – What's Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out Of Me) (buy album).

I believe Jerry Lee's version is the definitive version. It was released first and I hear it more often.
