about

The riff was inspired from watching Keith Richards in an interview online. He was explaining how his famous G tuning works. One guitar lick caught my ears and I ran with it, adding some lyrics that fit the groove. This was a pretty quick write - once you’ve got a cool riff going, it’s usually not too hard to find some words that hang together.

And to hear the riff that inspired “Bring Me Some Whiskey” go to the 14 minute mark.

lyrics

Bring Me Some Whiskey

Bring me some whiskey
Any kind will do (2x)
If you’re down on the bottom
You can join me too

How long, how long
Must I love you (2x)
Tell all my children
I’ll be coming home soon

My mama tell me
She’s nervous too (2x)
But I won’t let her down
I’m gonna quit this drinking that I do

Pretty soon…
