Billy Strings sings an ode to the high life in “California Sober,” a new duet featuring the great Willie Nelson
“California Sober” is an up-tempo bluegrass tune that’s about clean living. “I’ve had years I don’t recall, but I’m told I had a ball,” Strings sings in the first verse, confessing that he left drink and the harder stuff behind for his favorite crop. “I’m California sober as they say,” he sings in the chorus, a hook that’s appropriately aided by noted weed advocate Nelson.
In the video, Strings is seen embracing Nelson in the studio as the group of musicians, including Nelson’s longtime harmonica player Mickey Raphael, lays down the track. And, oh yeah, there’s also lots and lots of weed — joints are rolled and lit up, and in one particularly impressive scene, Strings rips through a guitar solo while contentedly puffing away at his spliff.
