Backstory:
Born and bred in the mean streets of Memphis, Rusty Alcohol is a band that commands attention and leaves a lasting impression. The band emerged from the trials and tribulations of its four diverse members – lead singer Alex “Rusty” Russell, guitarist Johnny “Alcohol” Allen, drummer “Smoky Joe” Baker, and bassist Tommy “Two-Tooth” Thompson. The band’s name, Rusty Alcohol, is a tribute to its frontman, Rusty’s, tumultuous past and Alcohol’s love for the spirit. Their music serves as a catharsis for them, and their fans, as they paint a raw and unfiltered picture of life’s ups and downs.

The band started as a small-time act in a local dive bar, playing for free drinks and an occasional meal. But their soulful performances soon caught the eye of a talent scout who saw their potential and got them signed under a reputed indie label. This was the spark that propelled them into the limelight, and they’ve been captivating audiences ever since.

“Bourbon Blues”

Full song lyrics:

(VERSE 1)
[G] Down the bottle, feel the [C] burn,
[D] In my heart, there’s a lesson to [G] learn.
[G] Life’s a gamble, roll the [C] dice,
[D] Taste of bourbon, bitter and [G] nice.

(CHORUS)
[C] Oh, I’ve got the bourbon [G] blues,
[D] Rusty dreams, and worn-out [G] shoes.
[C] This world keeps spinning, [G] don’t know why,
[D] All I got is my bourbon and [G] a lie.

(VERSE 2)
[G] Shadows dance, in the [C] neon light,
[D] Sorrow drowns, in the dead of [G] night.
[G] Love’s a poison, sweet and [C] cruel,
[D] In the game of life, I’m a [G] fool.

(CHORUS)
[C] Oh, I’ve got the bourbon [G] blues,
[D] Broken promises and unpaid [G] dues.
[C] The morning sun, a heartless [G] spy,
[D] All I got is my bourbon and [G] a lie.
