Wine, Wine, Wine, Pt. 5

Yeeaah! Ah feel olriight!

I'm betting that there is at least one song here that you have never heard before, and the Jeff Buckley number is far from the best candidate.

Did you know that "Alligator Wine" was written by Leiber and Stoller? I didn't. Wow.

First person to provide me with the complete lyrics to "Oysters and Wine at 2 A.M." wins something, I swear.

I'm drunk. Link fixed!

Song List:

01. Screamin' Jay Hawkins - Baptize Me In Wine
02. Old South Quartette - Oysters and Wine at 2 A.M.
03. Jeff Buckley - Alligator Wine

Wine, Wine, Wine, Pt. 4

Is there anything that goes better with the better half of a bottle of wine than the sound of a pedal-steel guitar? Well, actually, I learned to like that instrument from a dentist who served it with nitrous oxide, but that's another high entirely. Anyway, it's time to visit the countryside (of wine).

Is it wine country, or country wine?

Song List:

01. Wanda Jackson - Tears Will Be The Chaser For Your Wine
02. Commander Cody And His Lost Planet Airmen - Wine Do Yer Stuff
03. Emmylou Harris - Two More Bottles Of Wine

Wine, Wine, Wine, Pt. 3

Just my luck: I go looking for a picture of Loudon Wainwright III to use for this post, and I drown in pictures of his brats. Well, OK, there are a few pictures of him, but they all look so clean and sober! Clearly, things weren't always that way for ol' Lou, as I hope Part 3 of the Wine Mix, the all-Loudon Wainwright III set, will show.

"There has yet to be a perfectly straight line."

Song List:

01. Loudon Wainwright III - Wine With Dinner
02. Loudon Wainwright III - Down Drinking at the Bar
03. Loudon Wainwright III - Drinking Song
04. Loudon Wainwright III - Wine With Dinner (Night Cap)

Wine, Wine Wine, Pt. 2

Here you go... it aint all about the good stuff, you know. Matter of fact, I was wondering how cheezy this post needed to be... we coulda gone with the Arlo Guthrie version of one tune, and the Frank Zappa version of another. No one, however, can replace the late, great Townes Van Zandt!

P.S. There's no particular order, yet, to these wine entries -- if you're thinking about saving 'em up and burning 'em.

Cheap Wine

Song List:

01. Hoyt Axton - Lightnin' Bar Blues
02. Townes Van Zandt - Talking Thunderbird Blues
03. Hoodoo Rhythm Devils - W P L J

Wine, Wine, Wine, Pt. 1

Not much to say about this one. The thing about wine is, it's a conductor of memories. One glass will always remind you of another... another wine, and another day. Beer, too common; spirits, too amnesia-inducing.

Wine-cured curled tongue

Song list:

01. Dale Watson - California Wine
02. Alkaline Trio - Cooking Wine
03. Catch-22 - Wine Stained Lips
