How about an album title. A Ass Pocket of Whiskey - R.L. Burnside

Title is a reference to a line in the song on the song "Criminal inside Me"

One of the most famous lines in pop/rock history:
"Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye,
Singin' this'll be the day that I die." -- "American Pie" - Don McLean

I will add:
Lace and Whiskey - Alice Cooper
The Bottom of the Bottle - Porter Wagoner

I'll take another shot at it. :beer:

Deacon Blues- Steely Dan (drink scotch whiskey all night long)

"Lovin' Whiskey" written by Rory Block about the travails of loving a man who loves Whiskey more than the singer.

"Whiskey in the Jar" - Irish traditional, but I think Metallica does a fine job with it.

 

[beanoil]

It counts only if you upload a version we can hear!

Yeah, no vocal skills here. I'll sub the line from Stray Cat's Rock this Town.
"I had a whiskey on the rocks, and changed half a dollar for the jukebox..."

Jailers is great, BTW. If you find bottle left on any retailers shelf, pick it up, it's a score. No longer in production, and the current stock is dwindling. Last bottling was in 2012.

Tim O'Brien…. 'Late in the Day'

"Now I pour Whiskey, Break the ice
Put my feet up and close my eyes
Try hard to listen, to what my heart might say
Try to find the rhyme, to take me back in time
And be with you here….. Late in the Day"

Andy Stewart - Campbeltown Loch (I Wish You Were Whisky) Lyrics


Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey
Campbeltown Loch, och-aye
Campbeltown Loch, I wish you were whiskey
I would drink you dry

"Want some whiskey in your water, sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions you're asking me?" --
