Earlier this morning we had Kieran Folliard in to lead us through the great whiskey debate, and he gave us a better idea about the differences between Irish Whiskey, Scotch Whiskey, Canadian Whiskey, and U.S. Whiskey. We feel like we understand the drink a little better, but probably not as well as some of our favorite musicians.

It's a topic covered quite frequently, so give us your suggestions for songs that feature "whiskey" in the title or lyrics. We'll play some for today's 9:30 Coffee Break.

We want to meet our Coffee Break friends. Come join us at Longfellow Grill this Friday, June 7 from 6am-10am for a live Morning Show broadcast.

Songs Played:

Willie Nelson - "Whiskey River"

Thin Lizzy - "Whiskey in the Jar"

Uncle Tupelo - "Whiskey Bottle"

John Lee Hooker - "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer"

Tom Waits - "Jockey Full of Bourbon"
