One Hit Wonders: “Dust on the Bottle” by David Lee Murphy

“Dust on the Bottle” is a song written and recorded by American country music artist David Lee Murphy. It was released in August 1995 as the fourth single from the album Out with a Bang. The song hit number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks in late 1995, and is Murphy’s first number one hit. It would remain his only number one single until almost 23 years later, when he topped the country charts again with “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” in June 2018. The song also hit number 9 on the Canadian Country charts.

“There might be a little dust on the bottle
But don’t let it fool ya about what’s inside
There might be a little dust on the bottle
It’s one of those things that gets sweeter with time”

“Dust on the Bottle” debuted at number 72 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of August 12, 1995.
