Bad, Bad Whiskey

"Bad, Bad Whiskey" is a 1950 song by Amos Milburn. The song was initially a Maxwell Davis instrumental titled "Bristol Drive" which Milburn adapted by blending in some alcohol based lyrics. "Bad, Bad Whiskey" became one of the most enduring "blues-in-a-bottle" songs.[1] The single was the last time Milburn reached the number one position on the US Billboard R&B chart.[2]
