About This Song
Whiskey Before Breakfast is a traditional fiddle tune that's become a jam session staple across old-time and bluegrass circles. While often mistaken as having Irish origins, this tune gained widespread popularity through Norman Blake's original recording. The catchy melody and straightforward structure made it a natural choice for jam sessions, and its appeal only grew when Bryan Sutton and Doc Watson recorded their memorable version years later. Today, it's one of the most frequently called tunes at picking sessions, and its accessibility makes it a favorite for players of all levels.
