We've just been playing The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady, and agreed it sounds woozy and drunk and ace; what other albums sound drunk?

Do any other Mingus albums convey that same sort of feeling? 'Black Saint...' is one of the few of his that I have, and I love to find any other similar Mingus records.

Some drunk and woozy records:
New Kingdom - Heavy Load
RL Burnside - A Ass Pocket of Whiskey
ODB - Return to the 36 Chambers (The Dirty Version)

Plus quite a large number of Tom Waits albums!
And there is a distinct possibility that alchohol influenced the singing on the song LA Woman by the Doors.

'miss america' - blur
'bennie and the jets' - beastie boys
'wonderful world' - shane magowan and nick cave

The Renderers, esp their song "drink":

sun in my eyes, leaving me blind
with too much to see to believe
a cross cut from stone, standing alone
bringing no comfort to me

drink! to the disbelieving soul in the grip of the night
drink! to the darkness that waits for us all of our lives
drink to the terrible lie that the soul enrages and multiplies
drink...for tomorrow we die
I call the night, the light of my life
the time when my blood runs to ground
heaven or hell, how can you tell
how much time will you waste finding out?
drink! to the river of madness calling to you on the banks
drink! to your friends who carry you when you can't stand
drink because bedlam is all around you and this is the shadowland
drink...because hell is at hand
drink like the damned for your soul's salvation for virtue is too high a price
drink...for tomorrow we die
drink...for tomorrow we die

That REM single with the jingle and King of the Road on the B side

The tail-end of Nina Simone in Concert finds quite a bit slurred speach and an occassional loss in her connection with general time and space.

the drunkest Mingus album has got to be "Oh Yeah"...

...but if you want stuff like Black Saint, try Let My Children Hear Music

New Tijuana Moods

In the liner notes Mingus states the music is influenced from a trip into Mexico where he went and blew all of his money on booze, gambling and hookers.

my last 'this sounds particularly good right now and I think it's the scotch' moment was Hejira.

The Doors - Five to One

Has to be the drunkest vocal performance of Jimbo's career: hence, one of the funniest; hence one of the best.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 25 March 2004 11:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Hi Dadaismus - I once heard that bootleg album of Jim Morrison 'singing' with Jimi Hendrix (or rather pouring a storm of obscenities on an audience, after quite a few beverages). I think he was probably at his most drunk there, although maybe that doesn't really count as singing!

― M Carty (mj_c), Thursday, 25 March 2004 13:19 (twenty-two years ago)

beck's folky early like 'rowboat' too.
"pick me up, gimme some alcohol..."

I thought someone had started a record label.

"Drunken Records."
