“Am I a Fool” is an original bluegrass song credited to Keith Tew, recorded by the Lonesome River Band as the opening track of their 1998 album Finding the Way.
The lyric is a straightforward lament of doubt and lost love, the narrator asking himself whether he has been foolish to keep hoping, and it served as a strong vehicle for the band’s hard-driving sound and the lead singing of Ronnie Bowman. The song is a representative example of the steady flow of new, tradition-minded material that bands like the Lonesome River Band produced through the 1990s, keeping contemporary bluegrass supplied with songs in the classic mold.
