Aces backed with eights. In poker it’s called ‘the dead man’s hand’ because those were the cards Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was killed in a Deadwood Saloon. But then gambling has always been a dangerous game, whether in a casino, bar or saloon. The link between gambling and drinking is just one of the themes explored here. Blues and Country legends were no strangers to Whiskey, Women or Loaded Dice, as we demonstrate in this collection featuring B.B. King, John Lee Hooker, Hank Thompson and many more.
