Had this idea a couple of weeks ago and this is what came of it. I write a fair amount of bar-scene songs but haven't been to one in years.
Muted RT 4055 and 4053 because it was too much noise in the mix. As usual, lyrics are in the SoundCloud description for this song.

Especially if there's a Bud Lite label on that bottle. Oh my my.


Very cool and creative song. I like this.

Love everything about this country rocker: the lyrics, instrumentation, vocals, mix and entire production. Excellent.

Dewey, that was absolutely fantastic.
Loved the groove and vocal
Loved the lyrics
Great mix
Loved it!

PS - my favorite beer is a free one so what does that say about me?
Actually I drink PBR, for those not familiar that is Pabst Blue Ribbon.
I also like a good German beer also.
I'll drink just about any beer except one from Anheuser-Busch.

It’s a total earworm! The way you weave the personality of different beers into the lyrics is brilliant. It got me thinking about how our drink choices really do say a lot about us. I mean, a craft IPA drinker versus a classic lager fan.

Thanks for listening and all the encouragement, folks!

MARIO: We nicknamed our Grampa Joe PBR because that was his favorite brand! LOL Wasn't even sure they still made it until your mention of it. Na zdrowie!

Man, nobody does a bar song as well, Dewey. All of the best ingredients, catchy melody with a sing-along chorus, and this one actually makes ya think. Excellent lyrics and a really fun song <-- well, that's what you're all about.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Dewey, super write and performance! Makes me want to ride a mechanical bull, which at this time would be insanely dangerous. Cool bridge, rousing vocals and nice production. Nice choice to leave out the extra guitars. So much of good production is knowing what to leave out...

Great idea for a song! I agree with your decision to mute out part of the style..it left you all you really needed, esp allowing the vocal to rise—after all, that’s the key to this song. Tight vocal harmonies were excellent. Great job with the rhyme schemes in the lyrics. A++
