In this episode. The guys sit down with Country Music Artist and Songwriter Charlie Worsham.

Since the release of his 2013 debut, Rubberband, Worsham has established himself as one of Nashville’s most beloved and well-respected artists. In addition to his own music, he’s a frequent collaborator including work with Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Brandy Clark, Luke Combs, Vince Gill, Kacey Musgraves, Marty Stuart, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban among several others. He also earned a nomination for Specialty Instrument Player of the Year at the 55th ACM Awards and has toured extensively across the world including numerous shows performing as of part of Old Crow Medicine Show as well as dates with Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Kenny Rogers, Lee Ann Womack, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

June 25, 2021—Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Charlie Worsham will release his anticipated new EP, Sugarcane, July 16 via Warner Music Nashville with new song, “Half Drunk,” debuting today. Watch/share the official music video here  https://youtu.be/CXr16dro-vA

Of the track, Worsham shares, “‘Half Drunk’ tells the story of the first time I told my wife I loved her. I’d just been fired by my publisher and my manager had quit management that week, but I was singing that day in one of my favorite rooms in all the world, the Station Inn. Powered by Yazoo Pale Ale, applause, and a sense that this girl I was crazy about might just be more special and more permanent than the whole music industry thing, I turned to Kristen, said those three magic words, and she said ‘I love you too.’ I hope this song inspires a lot of drunken making out and maybe a few last-time-saying-I-love-you-for-the-first-time moments.”

In this episode. The guys sit down with country music singer/songwriter Randall King. We talk about bourbon, country music, life on the road and the all time greats that shaped his style of music.  You can find out a little more about Randall below and check out his newest single, "Record High"!

Hailing from the West Texas Plains of Hereford, King drew inspiration early on from country music legends such as Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson.  Saving Country Music raved about King’s authenticity, stating he is “the true, real deal, straight ahead country artist, full stop,” while Whiskey Riff claimed “Randall King will give you a refreshing reminder of the great ’80s and ’90s country music era”.

In this special 40th episode. The guys look back at the first year of Bourbon With Friends. 

When we started this a year ago we thought that getting some free bourbon and maybe talking to a master distiller would mean we have been a success. Now, a year later and we have had several celebrity and high profile bourbon community guests. Not to mention, meeting friends that we know will be around for a lifetime! 

There aren't enough words to we could use to say thank you to everyone who has supported us over the past 12 months. Through a pandemic, thinking about quitting, learning how to get become better friends to get through creative disagreements to just finding the time to record shows. This has been one of the best most humbling years we have ever had and we can't wait to see what year 2 brings!

Thank you to everyone who makes us apart of your day and to everyone new who finds us in the future! Never be afraid to reach out to us on Instagram or Facebook. We always love hearing from our friends!

Remember, a bourbon with friends can change the world! 

Paul, AJ & JC

In this episode. The guys review James Ownby Reserve. 

We were lucky enough to be invited to Gatlinburg by Ole Smokey for their release of James Ownby. We have to say. This one really surprised us! Rich vanilla and caramel notes and a long medium finish! Ole Smokey did an amazing job on this whiskey! At $50, it’s a great price point for how good the whiskey is! 

Below is a description of James Ownby and history of the name from www.jamesownbyreserve.com

LIMITED RELEASE | ONLY AVAILABLE IN SOME MARKETS

Charcoal filtered using the Lincoln County Process and aged in American virgin charred oak barrels, James Ownby Reserve Tennessee Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a rich, warm, deep caramel, easy-sipping spirit with a distinctly southern soul.

MOST MEN LIVE LIVES OF QUIET DESPERATION,

but James Ownby was not most men. He lived a life so epic we still tell his tale to this day – usually around a bonfire, and always around a bottle. You see before there was an ‘America’, or a land called ‘Tennessee’, there was man, named James Ownby, who braved the unsettled frontier and forged an enduring family legacy. As a soldier, he was dedicated. Enlisting at the age of 17, and serving 6 tours of duty throughout his esteemed military career, James fearlessly fought for our young country‘s freedom, for his beliefs and for a better way of life. His most notable service came as a member of the renowned ‘Overmountain Men’ regiment under the command of Colonel John Sevier in the Battle of Kings Mountain – a battle which Thomas Jefferson fittingly deemed "the turn of the tide of success."

As a pioneer, he was prolific. James set down roots in the area surrounding the Great Smoky Mountains and built a life for himself and his family. The Ownby’s became known as one of the original five families who significantly settled in the state we now call Tennessee and the acorns from his family tree have become a mighty grove of oaks across the once wild land.

AS A LEGEND, HE LIVES ON.
Today we still point to James Ownby as our family’s founding father, who defended our time-honored traditions by taking a path that certainly was not easy, but the only way he knew to be right. So as we lift our glasses to the man who started it all, we honor his memory by memorializing the man in the following poem. Please use it wisely and pass it on respectfully as you proudly proclaim it from the tops of the Ole Smoky Mountains.
