Not only does it sport one of the greatest album covers of all time, but 1968’s ‘The Bottom Of The Bottle’ is also one of the very finest of Porter Wagoner’s legendary string of concept LPs.

Alcoholic cautionary-tales fashioned from pedal steel, string bass and pure pathos – Porter’s cast of inebriates shuffle from barstool to gutter to grave. ‘Wino’ opens proceedings with surreal back-alley sound-scapes and heart-rending narration, ‘Daddy And The Wine’ charts the downfall of a heart-broken man and ‘One Dime For The Wine’ a rural man’s obliteration in the faceless urban jungle.

The ‘Confessions Of A Broken Man’ LP is another highlight from Porter’s deep catalog. It chronicles destitutes and drifters, those abandoned to the rats (by the rat race). ‘Men With Broken Hearts’ laments those fallen beyond repair while 1966 chart hit ‘Skid Row Joe’ personifies the misunderstood and forgotten.

Deluxe Remastered Edition with exclusive liner notes, rare photos and a clutch of excellent extra tracks.

A distillery of pickled wastrels, a flop-house of flotsam. More tales of life’s dark underbelly from the florid mind of one Porter Wayne Wagoner… –Omni Recording Corporation

Country music is all about drinking. Even songs about heartbreak or cheating spouses or the one that got away, somehow end up in a bar, or an alley or the bottom of a bottle. And no one did drinking songs better than Porter Wagoner. We've raved about this country legend on past lists, besides being an incredible musician with a clutch of amazing songs, he was also a total nut, who whipped up some of the weirdest country songs ever. He's the man responsible for "the Rubber Room" after all, a little ditty about mental illness, and as we mentioned in other reviews, almost every record, no matter how seemingly mainstream, always featured a track or two with seriously unseemly subject matter, murder, revenge, arson, suicide, prison and of course DRINKING.
So here we have two more classic PW albums, reissued by the fine folks at Omni, the first of which is an ode to country music's favorite past time, getting drunk, and of course, searching desperately for that next drink. Just a quick look through the song titles says it all: "Wino", "Daddy And The Wine", "The Bottom Of The Bottle", "In The Shadows Of The Wine", "The Bottle Let Me Down", "One Dime For Wine", "Bottle, Bottle", you get the idea, drinking, drinking and more drinking. Oh and a jaunty little ditty about a spurned woman who burns down her lover's favorite roadside tavern, which is also sort of about drinking…
But the sound is of course fantastic, lots of amazing guitar playing, wild slippery slide guitar, Wagoner's distinctive voice, the songs crazy catchy, and pretty dang weird in places. "Wino" begins with the sound of footsteps, then trash cans being dug through, the yowl of an alley cat, before unfurling as a Ken Nordine style bit of beatnik jazziness, which is soon augmented by some moody piano and swirly slide guitar. That's the weirdest track, but there are moments throughout, and of course, even when the music sounds like classic country, Wagoner will deliver some insane lyrics like it weren't nothing.
The second record here, Confessions Of A Broken Man, of course features some drinking songs, but for the most part focuses on the dark side of life, somber songs about folks down on their luck, the misunderstood, the forgotten, the dying and despondent, and the broken hearted. Gorgeous stuff, and a good companion to the more over the top drinking record that precedes it. As always, totally fantastic. And like every Omni release, gorgeously packaged, with tons of rare photos, and extensive liner notes in a big booklet. –Aquarius Records
