Whether it's willful or unintentional, songwriters, more times than not, evoke emotion making the listener relate deeply to a certain song. In this collection of songs, Amos Lee provides that emotional charge giving the listener a cathartic release and providing insight into their own thoughts and feelings. Marco and Enett share their own feelings from Mission Bell, Lee's fourth studio album. They enjoy this discussion with a dirty martini, a drink that compliments the album well by being a little soulful and quietly strong.

Leon Bridges' self-titled 2024 release is a retrospective collection of songs reflecting on his upbringing in Texas. Leon revisits old neighborhoods, border town experiences and songs about unconditional love. This album is nostalgic for Enett and Marco as it brings back memories of their own childhood and the experiences of the same border town Bridges sings about on this fabulous album. They enjoy this discussion with a cocktail called Dill-icioius made with Licor 43.

Marco and Enett go back to 2021 when Private Space by Durand Jones and the Indications was released. That year proved to by a trying year with the passing of a dear loved one and the challenges of living in a strange but familiar place. It was all made better for them with the help of this fabulous vinyl that served as medicine for the healing of their souls. This conversation is enjoyed with a bottle of Duvergey-Taboureau Bourgogne Pinot Noir.

*Note: in this episode I make mention of our older son in a story; however, the story relates to our younger son.

On this episode of A Bottle and a Vinyl Enett rekindles her love for a band she had stopped listening to as a coping mechanism for grief, pain and sorrow and the emotions that life unapologetically puts us through. Kings of Leon's Mechanical Bull has become an album that has helped regulate the emotions that come with despondency. They both enjoy this conversation with some sips of Willet Pot Still Reserve bourbon, all the while Marco uses a misnomer to recklessly describe the bottle.

For transparency: Typically, Wisconsin law does not allow spirits like tequila to be shipped directly to consumers. However, I did receive mine from an online retailer. That may not always be the case depending on where you live.

If you want to buy Tequila Mala Vida from a brick and mortar store, check the Tequila Mala Vida link above to see if it is available in your state.
