老歌亂談(549)Tennessee Whiskey
這首鄉村歌曲是Dean Dillon和Linda Hargrove所寫，首由鄉村歌手David Allan Coe於1981錄唱發行，但在鄉村排行榜只達到第77名。1983，鄉村歌王 ( 台長封的啦！) George Jones翻唱此曲，名家出手果然不同凡響，拿下了鄉村榜的第2名。
更神奇的是，原為歌曲作家的Chris Stapleton ( 有6首冠軍曲的創作記錄 )，2015自己下海出了首張專輯《Traveller》，也翻唱此曲收錄其中，唯將之改為偏藍調的曲風。2015，在美國鄉村音樂協會 ( CMA ) 的頒獎典禮上，Chris Stapleton與另位歌手Justin Timberlake共同演唱了此曲，可說是一鳴驚人。畫面播出後才兩天，此曲即站上鄉村榜的冠軍，在熱門榜則為第23名，唱片也賣出了13萬1千張 ( 含下載 )。接下來的一週，熱門榜躍升至第20名，唱片也再賣出11萬8千張。截至2016年2月，此曲共賣出58萬8千張。
Chris Stapleton的首張專輯《Traveller》也替他贏得了2015年CMA的「最佳男歌手」、「最佳新人」及「年度最佳專輯」三個獎項。並在2016奪得了「最佳鄉村專輯」及「最佳鄉村歌曲個人演唱」的兩座葛萊美獎，真可謂是一戰成名。
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
I've looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of a bottle always dry
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
