This track is a fun and engaging piece where Collins shares a personal story through his unique style of speaking and singing. In the song, Collins responds to background singers who tease him, saying, “But you’re so high!” His confident reply is, “I ain’t drunk,” repeated several times. The music perfectly supports Collins's storytelling, allowing him to weave in and out of singing and talking.This mixture of dialogue and catchy tunes creates a memorable experience, showcasing Collins’s talent and charisma. "I Ain’t Drunk" stands out as a highlight on "Cold Snap," illustrating not just the blues but also the art of storytelling in music.Albert Collins' storytelling captivated my attention, making me eager to hear what he would say next. Each time he spoke, I found myself anticipating the next part of the story.You're listening to Podcast & Blues. I'm you're host, Gail NoblesBlues Music
