The Whiskey Sessions started when three old (by this point) musicians met to get reacquianted and drink som whiskey. The whole think quickly turned into a recurring even about booze, music, and on-the-spot creativity. We get together, pop the cork, and get cracking on writing a song. The goal is to compose, write lyrics, perform and record an entire song in a single evening, preferably before the neighbors start banging on the wall or the audio interface burns up.

We often mix and master when we've had a chance to sober up, but we are proud to challenge ourselves to achieve all of this in a short period of time. And it's a lot of fun too......

See below for music, lyrics and photos from each time The Whiskey Sessions have met, in reverse chronological order. Click on a title to see more information about that specific song, and please leave a comment. We hope you appreciate our music!

Hearts of Steel.mp3 (mix: peen)

-lyrics

		 i hear the distant thunder
		 i smell the burning homes
		 of peasants driven to their deaths

		 the dragon came unlooked for
		 they didn't stand a chance
		 from paradise to burning hell

		 hell...

		 their children burned to cinders
		 their loved ones torn apart
		 ooh would they ever see the dawn?

		 dragon flying in the sky
		 with our steel we shall defy
		 we will prevail with Hearts of Steel
		 Hearts of Steel

		 across the plains of slaughter
		 we rode our mighty steeds
		 and we unleashed the hounds of war

		 we sang our hymn of battle
		 we raised our voices high
		 brothers in arms standing tall

		 tall...

		 we drove our spears of justice
		 into the deadly beast
		 and made a flagon of his hide

		 dragon flying in the sky
		 with our steel we shall defy
		 we will prevail with Hearts of Steel
		 Hearts of Steel
		 

Finally time for a favorite: steel, metal, hard rock! Call it what you want, but it finally caused the neighbours to come calling wondering what the hell we were doing. I wonder why?

Erik was down from Stockholm, and sang a bit, but it's probably not in the final mix. Lots of passes on the final mix; we really put Peen through his paces. But finally happy! As we recall everyone was very drunk, trying to remember this stuff is sometimes hard.
