ladies and gentlemen happy new year to you and yours we hope you're eating hog

jowl and black eyed peas we're doing whatever it is that you want to do so

today's episode is strawberry wine we recorded this before Christmas in Nashville

in the condo the weekend we were recording our comedy specials and we did it

live we were very drunk I don't remember a lot of it so the teaser today is very

different this is strawberry wine what a great song to start your year off with

or in your year with it's by Dean of Carter I think it was 95 but I can't

really remember right now and I don't have my notes in front of me you're

gonna enjoy this episode I think or maybe it's gonna offend you because again we

were very drunk all right gentlemen first the facts strawberry wine is a song

that was written by Matreca Berg didn't say that kind of Gary Harrison and

recorded by Dean of Carter it was released in 96 it was her debut single she

came out the gate from her album did I shave my legs for this eight and

oft-requested song for Bubba shot the podcast it was her first number one hit on

the U.S. Billboard country singles charts and it is a banger it is four minutes

and 51 seconds which is a departure for the 90s in my opinion and for sure

that was a three-minute situation especially what we've been listening to so

far I think I'm saying it right actually I think it's Matrecia Matrecia

Maria Berg is an American country music singer and songwriter just because I

that's that name you know it's like throws you off she's written hits for

TG Shepherd Karen Brooks Trisha Yearwood patty levelist Kenny Chesney she's

in the songwriter's Hall of Fame I think this is our first woman songwriter
