Song of the Day 4/20: Charlie Worsham, “I Hope I’m Stoned (When Jesus Takes Me Home)”

John Carney’s attitude toward cannabis is the same as Nancy Reagan’s — he just says no, and there’s no way that will change today. Especially not today.

Mississippi singer-songwriter Charlie Worsham sang this tune he calls “stoner gospel” music in concert for years before he released this official version in 2019. He was touring with and playing in Old Crow Medicine Show at the time, and they back him on this recording.
