Backstory:

Scratchy Pig was born out of a small town in Tennessee, where the scent of barbecue and the sound of country music waft through the air. High school friends, George “Scratchy” McKinney and Billy “Pig” Johnson, shared a bond that was centered around music. George, with his raspy vocals that felt as though they could scratch your soul, and Billy, with his chubby cheeks and pig-like snorts when he laughed, decided to channel their shared love for music and formed a band, thus, Scratchy Pig was born. They began by playing local bars, backyard parties, and small scale music festivals. Their upbeat rhythms and catchy lyrics soon caught the attention of a local record label and they have been riding high on the country music scene ever since.

Full Song Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Em7
Well, I’ve got my boots and my brew,
G
Sitting here thinking of you,
D
Underneath this Tennessee moon,
A
Got these barbecue blues.

[Verse 2]
Em7
Grill’s smoking, heart is broke,
G
Got no one to share this coke,
D
Your memory’s all that I can use,
A
To fight these barbecue blues.

[Chorus]
C
Boots, brews and barbecue blues,
G
Baby, without you I’ve got nothing to lose,
D
In this smoke and neon light,
A
I’ll keep holding on to our goodnight.

[Verse 2]
Em7
The smell of pork, the sound of the guitar,
G
Wishing on that shooting star,
D
Oh, how I wish you were in my shoes,
A
To understand these barbecue blues.

[Chorus]
C
Boots, brews and barbecue blues,
G
Baby, without you I’ve got nothing to lose,
D
In this smoke and neon light,
A
I’ll keep holding on to our goodnight.

Fan’s Favorite Testimonial:

“My name is Bobby Jo, and Scratchy Pig is my favorite band. Their song ‘Boots, Brews and Barbecue Blues’ became the anthem of my life after a bad breakup. The raw emotion that George and Billy put into their music is real and palpable. You can feel their pain, their joy, and their love for music in every note. I’ve followed them since their first local gig and they’ve never failed to captivate me with their unique blend of country rock. They’re true storytellers, and I’m proud to call myself their biggest fan.”
