Daily Digital Download: Love & Theft 'Whiskey on My Breath' [VIDEO]

This song was released by Love and Theft back in January of 2015. I don't think it's been given enough publicity. I love the song, I love the lyrics and I love the melody. Our Taste of Country staff had this to say about the song when it first came out:

But while the searing lyrics of ‘Whiskey on My Breath’ get at the heart of the battle to reconcile faith with mistakes made, the vocal performance by Eric Gunderson and Stephen Barker Liles add a beauty that can only be described as heavenly. Their powerful harmonies take center stage, only highlighted by a soft undercurrent of the classic hymn, ‘Amazing Grace,’ that threads in and out of the entire track. Combine that with the surprising, but perfect addition of accordion keys, and fans have got a song that sounds different from anything else, while still managing to perform like a classic country ballad.

Why Fans Will Love It: With its layered melody and strong harmonies, ‘Whiskey on My Breath’ adds new layers of depth to Love and Theft’s musical collection. And it’s a great way to get fans ready for the mature sound that will debut on the duo’s third album when it’s released on Feb. 10!

Key Lyrics: “Oh I know I’m going to heaven / But I can’t go with me like this / I need to pull myself together / Before then / No I ain’t afraid of dying / But what scares me is meeting Jesus / With whiskey on my breath.”

Did You Know? The release of ‘Whiskey on My Breath’ caps off a pretty great year for Love and Theft’s Stephen Barker Liles. The singer married his longtime love, Jenna Michelle Kennedy, on Aug. 24.
