I gotta add "When the Chips are Down" by Lloyd Banks...

Love this song, but may not fit in well with all those other songs.

Also-Not Addicted, by The Streets. Not specifically about poker, just a good song about a guy who wants to place a big bet on a soccer game, but can't place the bet in time. then he finds out he would have lost the bet. pretty good song.

I guess that stupid "Crazy Game of Poker" song by Oar (or whoever the hell) should be on there.

Joe Ely did a good cover, but Tom Russell Wrote it.

There're a couple other Ray Wylie Hubbard songs that may be of interest: "Rollin' them Bones" (not his best) and his ballad "Dust of the Chase":

I come down from Oklahoma, a pistol in my boot.
A pair of dice, a deck of cards, and a bible in my suit.
I come here as the cause of tears, I am a cryin' shame,
7-stud or eternal blood, just lookin' for a game.

Steve Earle caught a miner cheatin' in a company town card game in "Devil's Right Hand"

Wasn't the protagonist's father dealing stud when found in "A Boy Named Sue"?

I also think the narrator was out playing poker late (and losing) in Ricky Scaggs' "Honey (Won't You Open That Door?)"

Another gambling related song I thought of (though not poker) is "Mr. Siegal" by Tom Waits Well, I dropped thirty grand on the Nugget slots, I had to sell my ass on Fremont Street...

There may be more of Waits' songs that qualify. He often wrote about lowlifes, including gamblers.

More if I think of them.

Obviously, you've never been to an O.A.R. show! And I am not necessarily saying you should like the music - they bring a lot more to the table - you would appreciate them a lot more if you've ever been to a show. Those who have been will know what I mean [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

A recent conversation:

"Did they play 'Crazy Game of Poker' last night?"

"They ALWAYS play 'Crazy Game of Poker'!"

"Well did they play 'Crazy Game of Poker' last time you saw them?"

"They ALWAYS play 'Crazy Game of Poker'!"

Yeah, my mistake. Didn't realize that until after I posted. But it's a hell of a cover nonetheless.

I loaded up my iPod with my extensive collection of blues CDs. Put it on shuffle, and let it play...
