Asleep at the Wheel & Ray Benson: Feelin' Haggard (Radio Bristol Session, 2017)
Song Review: Moonalice feat. Ray Benson - “Am I High?”
The question is rhetorical. But Moonalice leaves no doubt as to the answer on “Am I High?”
The stand-alone single features Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson as the band gets a jump on 4/20:
Am I high?/my mouth sure is dry/I just keep laughing til I cry/asking myself, ‘am I high?’
Though the lyrics suggest a novelty, the music - languid, swinging-like-a-pendulum jazz - suggests otherwise. The composition is utterly serious making the words that much sillier.
But as ridiculous as it is, “Am I High?” is a tightly rolled number every listener should light in to.

This is “Bus’ Breakdown” by Dale Watson and Ray Benson as I see it because of synesthesia! This was such a fun song!

My third installment in the Honky Tonk Times "Living Legends" series features Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel. In 2020, the group planned to record an album celebrating its 50th anniversary, bringing in former members from across the decades. While the pandemic delayed and changed the logistics of the recordings, the project's release date is set for October. Benson also touches on his time during quarantine, songwriting, and more. Read all about it in the August edition of the Honky Tonk Times, available at www.thehonkytonktimes.com!
