about

ONE SPECIAL BOTTLE
I possess one very valuable bottle of whiskey: an unopened fifth of Rip Van Winkle 15-year-old bourbon. It's highly prized, worth many hundreds of dollars or more--and yet I'm planning on drinking it, not selling it. But first, there's one piece of good news I've been waiting for, so I can finally crack that bottle and savor it. I've been waiting and waiting…and that bottle is getting very dusty.

lyrics

I've got one special bottle I've been saving.
I'll open it up, but only on the day when
What I wanted comes to pass
And justifies a crystal glass
The bottle's in the back of the cabinet
I thought about having it just for the hell of it
Maybe it's dumb that I leave it sealed
But my day hasn't come, and a deal is a deal
I really thought I'd get to drink it last year
But, just like me, it's sitting here
There's not a buzz, there's nothing to savor
No one does anyone any favors
So I've got this one old bottle and it's worth a lot
My favorite gift I ever got
You don't have to open a present to love it
I'll smash the thing, I'm not above it
I've got that one old bottle, I can't stand the sight of it
Let's drink it now, let's make a night of it
It's probably not as great as they say
I'll drink it tonight, get it out of the way
This waiting and waiting
It's me in the cabinet
No one will savor me, no one is having it, no
I've got that one old bottle, it's the good stuff
I'll chase it when I've had enough

about

The Claudettes Chicago, Illinois

The Claudettes stare down dark personal and national moods, seizing high times on the road and on their best album yet. Piano is still the core of the Claudettes' music, but Berit Ulseth's sublime vocals steal the spotlight on the band's fifth release. Produced by Grammy winner Ted Hutt, this richly atmospheric album conjures images of Julie London and Allen Toussaint in a '60s hot-rod band. ... more
