Mel Waiters ~ Got My Whiskey You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

One of those modern juke joint "get your freak on" songs. | |

There's an AM station where I live that plays stuff like this. This is like some family reunion in the country (or "the woods" as they call it) music. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

Or that's their way of calling it.
Usually when my parents play it, it's on some "get your freak on" type of shit. This is how they stay "hip". Though my mom and dad technically ARE hip so they don't have that problem. | |

A lot of the music they play at the reunions and parties is on Malaco, the "unknown out of the south" label.

Yes this is definitely a song that is played at all of those "BYOB" Mason parties. This one, "Stand Up In It" and "Hole in the Wall". The old folks always get on the dance floor for these numbers... I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

I love me some Mel Waiters. "Got My Whiskey" is a classic. This is another favorite from him. Roger Troutman is on the remix.
