Tequila Sunrise

This month's themed playlist is inspired by upcoming St. Patrick's Day, my little sister's 21st birthday, and my birthday. The one thing in common between these three things--besides being Irish (my father's side of the family)--is my favorite alcoholic activity.
So I have put together collection of modern day drinking songs to set the tone, sans the green beer.
Thanks for all the support, and make sure to follow my Facebook Page so you don't miss a post!

Playlist
Tequila Sunrise

Highlights
Track 6/ Drunk in Love by Beyonce Featuring Jay-Z
If you aren't blasting this song every time it comes on the radio, you are missing out on the full listening potential of Beyonce's gritty vocals. Yes, I did just describe Beyonce's vocals as gritty- her singing is more raw on her new album and it is really growing on me! I wasn't sure if I liked this song when I first heard it, and the Grammy performance did NOT help, but corny as it may be I am drunk in love with her new single.

Track 7/ You and Tequila by Kenny Chesney Featuring Grace Potter
Probably one of my favorite country songs of all time, this one is perfect for the california girl whose poison of choice is tequila. (Remind you of someone you know?) I'm not particularly the biggest fan of Kenny Chesney, but throw in Grace Potter doing harmony, and I'm sold. Perfect for the drive home after striking out at the local dive.

Track 11/ Little Ole Wine Drinker Me by Dean Martin
A drinking playlist without Deano would be incomplete. I have a personal theory that Dean Martin may have been a better singer than Sinatra. Don't get me wrong: Frank Sinatra was incredible, but it was more about his style and tone than his technical vocal ability. Dean Martin doesn't show off his range in this track, but instead Little Ole Wine Drinker epitomizes his love for drinking and country music.



Thanks for listening (merrily)!
