I'm sure you know it. The first solo is Pat Thrall. The second one (that sounds like it's through a Leslie speaker) is Travers. Couple good guitar players in this band.

Willie and Keith singing the line “Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses” came immediately to my mind. Catchy tune - although I never quite understood giving beer to a horse

Not sure it qualifies as the word whiskey is not in the title?
