A Hurtin’ Tune

Drinking Song #10 is Tonight the Bottle let me Down. Plenty of performers have covered this one. I don’t know who wrote it. I always assumed it was Merle Haggard, who is the performer I associate this song with. Here’s Mr. Haggard…

I love that twangy Bakersfield honky tonk guitar sound.

Here’s Elvis Costello’s take on this one…

Not bad at all.

The last version I’m going to share is by the Mavericks. These guys are a lot of fun…check out the drummer…and the piano man. OMG they’ve got a full horn section happening. Wow! In fact, forget those other versions. Hey, let’s dance.
