Thought of this OMW to a game tonight, and I can't believe none of us has brought it up:

I'm sure once I look through my musical selections I'll have more, but off the top of my head:

"Mr. Gold and Mr. Mud" - Townes Van Zandt
<Comic Book Guy>Best. Poker. Song. Ever.</Comic Book Guy>
He gave his sevens first instructions,
Spirit me a game of stud.
Stakes unscarred by limitation,
'tween a man named Gold and man named Mud

"Black Ace" - Black Ace
"Queen of Draw Poker Town" - Hank Snow
"Smoke that Cigarette" - Tex Williams
"The Uptown Poker Club" - Tex Williams
"Turn the Cards Slowly" - Patsy Cline
"In the Jailhouse Now" - Jimmie Rodgers
"Gamblin' Polka Dot Blues" - Jimmie Rodgers
"Gamblin' Barroom Blues" - Jimmie Rodgers
"Those Gambler's Blues" - Jimmie Rodgers
"Stagger Lee" - Lloyd Price
"Deal" - Tom T. Hall
"40 Miles to Vegas" - Southern Culture on the Skids

I like the Lois Armstrong version of Mack the Knife.

How about the Allman Bros. Ramblin Man

I personally like to put on old blues music. It just has the right "feel"

[ClassicBob]

The new Ludacris album has a song called "Put Your Money" that I've been listening to while playing.

[ncskiier]

I'm not interested in reading this whole thread, but did anyone say "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Greenday?

[TenPercenter]

Great job everyone! This is really cool... great variety of music for the great variety of people playing in poker games! I snagged a bunch off the net too, from blogs and such, which I will add later.

There are a lot of songs here I don't know, so if anyone sees one that should not be on here, let me know.

I'll update weekly (or so) listing of the songs.

Helluva list there, TenPercenter. In my experience, 132 songs is a pretty good number for a 6-7 hour game mix.

It's late, and I don't have the energy to go through all of your list right now. I completely forgot about "Gallo del Cielo". It's about cock fighting, not poker, but it is about gambling, and it's a great song.

St. John the Gambler is a good song, too, but it might not be appropriate for poker night. The tempo is slow, and the song is a bit of a downer:
But the road was long beneath her feet. She followed her frozen breath,
In search of a certain St. John the Gambler, stumbling to her death.

--

I did recall a few more that should be on the list:

Corb Lund Band - "Time to Switch to Whiskey"
I've been splittin' eights and hittin' straights in the card rooms of this world.

Corb Lund Band - "(Gonna) Shine Up My Boots"
Gonna find me a game of hold 'em if I can.
I'll fold 'em all night long, 'til I got me a hand.

Robert Earl Keen, Jr. - "Sonora's Death Row"
I won some silver at seven-card stud, so I was out-doin' my pals.

I'm surprised Juice Newton's "Queen of Hearts" hasn't come up yet.

There are also a couple that have nothing to do with poker, but they're pretty popular among our micro-limit home game players:
Blue Ridge Playboys - Give Me My Dime Back (we love this one!)
Louvin Brothers - Cash on the Barrel Head

I never did go through all of my MP3s, but I do have many of the songs listed. Unfortunately, I'm on dialup. Besides, such file sharing would be illegal, as would me dropping off a CD the next time I got the nerve to drive down to the big city of Dallas.
