Have a favorite song to listen while sipping?

[New2Whiskey]

I enjoy Godfather Theme music. Italian version. Parla Piu Piano.

[Dr. François]

Bill Evans or Morphine.

James Yorkston (Scottish Folk Singer) is also great whiskey music.

[spun_cookie]

Tool, The Beatles, Jazz, anything but C &/or W

[Skunk]

A couple obvious ones:

Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)- The Doors

Whiskey In The Jar- Garcia/Grisman

Life By The Drop- Stevie Ray

[funknik]

Dropkick Murphys -- "The Dirty Glass"

[Skunk]

D'oh! Forgot the favorite, Whiskey River- Willie Nelson.

As far as albums go, The Pizza Tapes by David Grisman, Tony Rice, and Jerry Garcia is a fine piece of music to sip by. If you also happen to be a connoisseur of recording quality, you won't be disappointed.

[Gillman]

Not a favorite song, since there are so many. Right now I'm listening to Chantal Kreviazuk's "The Best of 1996-2006", to her song, "Wonderful". Nice sounds.

Gary

[chilidawg7]

"Brothers in Arms" - Dire Straits

[reg]

Frank Zappa's Carolina Hard Core Ecstasy and anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd. Dash Rip Rock now there is a drinking mans drinking band that motivates knocking a few back FAST.

[theBOURBONreview]

I'm going to have to go with Albert King, "Blues Power." Also, SRV's version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing."

[indahl]

I'm going with Sweet Caroline

[Josh]

Uncle Tupelo- "I Got Drunk", "Whiskey Bottle" or "Moonshiner". Then of course, The Pogues- "Streams of Whiskey"

[Treeguy]

Anything sad by Sinatra.

[heatmiser]

Anything by Barry Manilow or Wham!

[fishnbowljoe]

Don't usually get the chance to listen to music while I'm drinking. When I do, it's usually jazz. Not the funky stuff, and not the elevator stuff either. The in-between stuff. Nice smooth jazz that you can just sit back in your chair and go, "Ahhhhhhhh". Gerald Albright-Georgia On My Mind, Chris Botti-One For My Baby, Fourplay-Slow Slide, Free Range & Sunday Morning, Dave Grusin-Serengeti Walk, Mountain Dance. These are just a few of many that I like. Try it. You'll like it! Joe

PS If I had to pick one, (because of the nature of the song/bourbon) it would be Chris Botti, One For My Baby.

[Lost Pollito]

Pull out the Vinyl and toss on Kinda Blue. Miles sets the mood for much consumption and relaxation.Any song will do here, but if I had to pick, it'd be "So what"... Trains solo is a classic. IMHO.

[55bill]

I like Jimmy Buffett's "A Pirate Looks at Forty", even though

for me, forty is a distant and fading memory.

[polyamnesia]

some Tom Waits is often perfect for any high proof pour...

or Captain Beefheart....or certain Mothers of Invention pieces...:cool:

Billie Holiday ... "Fine & Mellow" ... this one video demonstrates everything that is truly magical to me about music.

My musical taste is very, very eclectic. At the present time, I'm playing punk rock with some guys. But sipping some fine bourbon, this is what I dig ...

"Love is like a faucet. It turns off an on.

Love is just like faucet. It turns off and on.

Sometimes when you think it's on baby,

It has turned off and gone."

Ms. Holiday has been a regular spin for me lately, too ... this song's a good one!

[funknik]

If you liked that one, Andy, then you'll love this (and yes, that IS Louis Armstrong):

[HipFlask]

Tonight it is Joe Satriani's "If I Could Fly"

But other nights it could be John Lee Hooker's "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"

Then the next it could be Duke Ellington and John Coltrane's "In a Sentamental Mood" or Nina Simone's "Feeling Good"

[bvscfanatic]

Anything by Barry Manilow or Wham!
