Whiskey Lullaby - Drew Jacobs & Caitlynne Curtis - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The drinking song is a ubiquitous presence in country music, taking the form of odes, laments, and raw confessionals that get under the skin of a sometimes unhealthy relationship with the bottle. Often used as a vehicle through which to explore painful feelings of loss and heartbreak, the drinking song becomes a cathartic release for many artists struggling to process. "Whiskey Lullaby" by Drew Jacobs serves as an electrifying country-rock reminder of this. "She broke his heart, he spent his whole life tryin' to forget / We watched him drink his pain away a little at a time," begins the Michigan singer-songwriter. The song quickly descends into darker territory as the male protagonist 'puts that bottle to his head and pulls the trigger' before the female protagonist follows suit. Released as a single with Caitlynne Curtis in 2023, "Whiskey Lullaby" is a damning meditation on heartbreak and the fragility of human emotion.
