Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels & Jim Beam

Here is quite an old one about a lost love and 3 good friends.
I recently updated the song with new real tracks.

Leon - vocals and lyrics
I sang and played some lead & rhythm guitars.

Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
That’s the kind of company I keep
Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
Those guys are helping me to get to sleep

Ever since you said goodbye
I’ve been associating with those gents
When I’m alone I tend to slide
But they have put the brakes on my descent

Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
That’s the kind of company I found
Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
I’m glad those boys have rallied around

There was a time when we were self sufficient
We had each other and that was good enough
Now your gone my life’s deficient
I’ve played my cards and life has called my bluff

In you I found my stimulation
I didn’t need to lean on no one else
Now I’ve found some kind of compensation
In the pals that I have gathered to myself

Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
Are the friends that have helped to pull me through
Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
When I’m with them I forget I’m not with you

Ever since you said goodbye
I’ve been associating with those gents
When I’m alone I tend to slide
But they have put the brakes on my descent

Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
That’s the kind of company I keep
Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
Those guys are helping me to get to sleep

Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
That’s the kind of company I found
Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam
I’m glad those boys have rallied around

Johnny Walker, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam

Excellent tune Peter. These guys were my pals for awhile in my youth :-). Excellent vocal and lyric. Guitar was super. Love your tone...

Nice wry humour in those lyrics! Combined with a crisp rock beat and that double guitar intro - this is very well done.

Hi Peter and Leon,

I think kenny hit the mark on this one. We couldn't agree more. And that key modulation was exactly what the song needed - nice!

Neither of us are big drinkers but I (Alan) played in bars for several decades and I'm no sr=tranger to these three guys! Actually, I'm finishing a song with a vaguely similar theme.

You guys did a really nice job on this! Have a great week!

Now that's a fun little rocker. Good vocals and some fine guitar. I did think the intro was very well played but slightly out of tune. No worries, it still works. Herb has caught me a few times for the same thing and I said to myself later " why didn't I hear that? I guess it's easy to focus on other things during mixing. Even so I liked it ! Tom

Peter & Leon,

A fun, rockin' tune. A strong vocal. I really liked the outro - had a nice "freedom" about it.

Peter, I liked the mix spread on the instruments. Everything is heard clearly and the key change was a good idea! Thanks, Torrey

We're down with Kenny on the early Stones vibe.

Johnny, Jack and Jim - it's about time somebody got those boys together in a song!

Cool performances and write.

All around FUN rocker.

Peter,

I thought I had already replied, but I guess I hit the wrong key.

Anyway, this is a rockin' tune. Very clever!!! Great vocals, guitar, and use of tracks.

Cheers!! Rock on man!!
