California Sober feat. Willie Nelson is nominated for Best American Roots Song at the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards.

Released on April 28, 2023 in celebration of Nelson’s 90th birthday, the single is a collaboration with legendary artist Willie Nelson. This is Strings’ first release since partnering with venerable label, Reprise Records.

Landing on multiple “Best of 2023 So Far” lists, Rolling Stone calls the song “a blazing bluegrass banger filled with howling harmonica and guitar-picked solos,” while Consequence praises, “With just one song, Strings and Nelson seem to bring the best out in each other.”
