I hear people bitching all the time that there just aren't any new young musicians coming up to fill the shoes of the great ones we've lost. Well, I beg to differ!
It's overwhelmed by all the mainstream garbage. Nearly everything on the radio is generic recycled crap. Country, if you can call is that, is the most far gone as far as mainstream goes
The issue isn't that it doesn't exist. It's that it isn't popular. Artists like this used to have mainstream success. No longer the case. That's what is sad.
I met Marcus King in a small bar in Greenville SC back in 2015/16, and I was MESMERIZED. He and his band members came to my house, after the show, and sang and played the piano I had in my living room. WOW. what a great memory. and now i've discovered Billy Strings as well. 2 great musicians.
Thank God for RUclips to bring us music we’d never ever get to hear on the radio. Thanks to discovering music on RUclips I haven’t listened to the radio in nearly 20 years. True story
by the way let's give a massive hats off to whoever engineered and mixed this...you wouldn't think a random room in a guitar shop would sound so gorgeous, but these videos always sound killer. great preamps, great mics, great placement, and obviously top drawer talent playing top drawer instruments. i mean what more do you want
I watch this video all the time--!I love both of their guitar playing and their singing voice!!Incredible!!George Gershwin should have heard this performance!
I sent this to my 85 year old classical guitarist dad . His eyes lit up and he cried. Blues and skillfully played instruments impress all musicians , no matter their genre
It's jazz but yes, I agree with the sentiment 100%, beautiful music is beautiful for anyone who's willing to listen. (For the youtube "professors" who love to discuss: It's technically a jazz blues but that has less to do with blues than the name might imply. "Straight, No Chaser" is another example that shows you that jazz blues is not blues, it's jazz).
Billy strings is one badass dude and all the band members that play with them no joke one of my favorite I'd really like to see him in person at a concert
These 2 guys complement each other’s playing style so well. This was actually a beautiful collaboration. It was fluid. No contrasting playing or sound conflict.
A fine example of this style of music and guitar playing ala Doc Watson. I'm going to get ALL of those licks under my fingers. His tone will take much more work and is aided by the beautiful Martin Guitars OM Style Acoustic he plays here. Simply put, a Twentieth Century masterpiece made in the early 1930s I believe by the fine Luthiers at Martin Guitars USA. Get one while you can!
@@rockers2rockers616 I own a Taylor personally, and have played many a Martin in my time, and in my opinion the have a much richer, more full timbre than the Taylors. The lower action most Taylors have and the thin, ergonomic necks and deeper cutaways just make them easier to play for me. I absolutely love the Martins’ tones though, I’ve tried changing to a thicker gauge string, swapping to nylon, using finger picks, switching to just fingernails, everything I can think of to get that warm tones that Martins have while sticking with a Taylor, which from a playability standpoint just suits my style better. Sadly, nothing I try compares to a good ole Martin. If only there was something I could do to my Taylor to get that tone.
Man! Strings dropped into his opening solo like a pro at the Pipeline. His tone, feel and expression is unmatched. His vocals? Melancholy...blue and effortless. Describing Strings as the Lords gift to our world of music is a heavy load man! But he is. And he is, most certainly heavy. Brothers and Sisters Billy is a once-in-a-lifetime gift much needed in this World.
I JUST discovered him and I'm absolutely obsessed! Bummed I didn't know sooner (he came to several venues near me 4 years ago)... but oh so happy that I have! Can't wait for this weekend!🥰🎫🎶🌴🌅🌴🎶💓
I'm surprised to hear so many people raving about how great Billy Strings is (he is) but not commenting on how amazing Marcus King is. Maybe t his video doesnt highlight him enough but his voice and guitar skills are at least as good
Did u notice Billy pull off the mic. What a pro. The future of American music is secure in the hands of these two smokin young musicians. They are clearly reincarnated old souls.
So suprised that this many people appreciate some good music in this day of age. If there is one thing that can bring this broken world back together, my money is on music to save ourselves! Because no matter who you are or what your outlook on life is. Im 100% sure we can all get behind a good tune!
Rumor has it that there's a new generation of young cats who have their own distinct style of playing that is incredible and they have paid attention to the old cats who paved the way! This is as good as it gets, no matter the age!
billy, marcus, and colter wall are a refreshing breath of fresh air and they are young guys that are showing true grit across the country/american folk genres. they have musical knowledge, soul, and style. true musicians in a world of manufactured pop music
Billy's voice is like an old soul, and these guy's playing is like a vintage wine, that is too precious to open. But, open it, they did. I'm glad they did.
Helle! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!

My very favorite version of this classic. I'm wowed by the disciplined voicing of the notes and chords and complete talent of these 2 prodigies. Thanks guys!
I’m a huge fan of both these guys. Billy’s flat picking is always phenomenal. Love this version but take a listen to Ray Charles and Cleo Laine take on Porgy and Bess’ ‘Summertime’. It is truly the quintessential version of this masterful song.
The idea that a vintage guitar shop can get these two young phenoms together for a session is mind blowing. Two of the most amazing musicians on the scene today and of all time. Thanks!
Helle!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
This is a wonderful version, without a doubt - but you haven't been looking very hard 😉. That is not ANY take away from this fantastic rendition, for the record.
I introduced my parents to Marcus King. They LOVE Billy as is, every concert they can attend, greeting , anything .But everytime I get around them they ask for this song or lonesome fugitive by them. I’m 24 years old and it’s amazing someone near my age can produce music on this form and attract so many people from young to old. Bluegrass is still alive!
These 2 gents are fantastic. They both are tapped into that sacred vein where the best music flows forth and is timeless. They both are wonderful vocalists and as guitar pickers, they humble me. As a 50 year old who has been playing for 38 years, they've got me doubling down on my practicing! Lol I would say not to worry about the young folks, they have a big mess to clean up but they'll do well, and they'll keep us tapping our feet while they're at it!
Helle!! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day… Stay Safe!
This performance is profound for me. I have watched it many times, but tonight I can only listen to 10 seconds without physically collapsing into a crying fit.
As much Billy as I heard in the past few months of discovering his talent... I just got chills to my body... I never realized how much he sounds like Doc until this very recording. I had the very fortunate and blessed pleasure to see Doc Watson before he passed. He was a one-of-a-kind much like this talent we are graced with. If you are a great storyteller, that is a definite plus, lol
Transcendent music: timeless, priceless. More valuable than any gold or material richness...God protect these transmitters of irreplaceable truth that rings like a bell to our soul.
he sounded very similar to Doc. Literally 2 of the most talented musicians ive listened to in a long time. Excited for these guys to blow up even more in 2020
I've been listening to this classic blues tune for fifty years now. But still, once in awhile someone does this. And it almost feels like the first time. Sweet!! Thanks for sharing with us. JJ RIP. NFA
Im not a country music fan at all normally but Billy Strings is some player. He plays bluegrass like a demon, has a great voice and shows off some jazz chops here too. I think I just missed him coming to the UK sadly.
My adorable son-in-law sent this to me as he knew how much I love this song and I literally cried when I heard it! Whatta' beautiful arrangement!! Fantastic job y'all did!! Thank you!!
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Billy and Marcus point the light to the a nice future of musicians. People get of the radio and the cornfed stuff spooned to you by the " music industry". This is diggity.

exaclty. those people are lazy listeners
Problem is none of them are famous at all compared to main stream that’s the problem
It's overwhelmed by all the mainstream garbage. Nearly everything on the radio is generic recycled crap. Country, if you can call is that, is the most far gone as far as mainstream goes

A few independant stations is all I need
Amen🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉so many gifted people out there in this great big wotld!
The Internet is good ànd bad... Sometimes it shines. Sometimes it shines.
My son introduced me to Billy Strings. I introduced him to Marcus King. These two together -- magic.
I love this!
@InThisTogether That's a great idea! I hope you have a great time at the concert.
Same scenario for me and my 34 year old son!!
that’s acc so fy

Y'all just go ahead and do a collaboration album and call it string kings. Make it happen 🔥🔥🔥
I'm IN!
Id buy two copies of that
🙌❤🤘
Add Joe bonnamasa
Add Willie Nelson in the mix too!

great point actually
You right
Can't get enough of this
The acoustic micing and mixing is actually insane in this video- so crisp compared to Marcus and that super reverb
Any guitar shop worth their strings ought to have proper acoustics. It helps to have two living legends playing together:)
These old guitars must be thinking.....finally someone who knows how to play me !
Guitars don't think.
ok boomer
@@danieldonato I don't normally follow these links in comments as they are usually by idiots, but you are a great young player fella.
All those guitars still have price tag on..
@@elon13yearsago8 dummy, they are at a guitar store. cant you read the fucking info? these kids prob cant afford to buy them.
Billy's voice is getting better and better.hes freakin awesome.
David Phillips agreed
I watch this video all the time--!I love both of their guitar playing and their singing voice!!Incredible!!George Gershwin should have heard this performance!
Smooth move in sound!!!! m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=2589544244423089&id=100001026151518
He sounds like Doc
kinda a Doc Watson softness and earthy.
"Summertime" is quite possibly the most beautiful and captivating melody written in the last century. Mighty find job here, gents!
It’s fantastic, but .... c’mon man. Put your seatbelt back on.
Gershwin wrote so many magnificent and brilliant pieces, to whit.
gershwin still is amazing in 2024. timeless melodies
I sent this to my 85 year old classical guitarist dad . His eyes lit up and he cried.
Blues and skillfully played instruments impress all musicians , no matter their genre
Frank Mageean thanks for sharing! music IS the universal language. I love seeing how artist can speak to each other in “music”
Frank Mageean amen
The most beautiful compliment!
Shit are you serious? I conjured up such an image if this after reading your comment
It's jazz but yes, I agree with the sentiment 100%, beautiful music is beautiful for anyone who's willing to listen. (For the youtube "professors" who love to discuss: It's technically a jazz blues but that has less to do with blues than the name might imply. "Straight, No Chaser" is another example that shows you that jazz blues is not blues, it's jazz).
This sounds like how good whiskey tastes
This whiskey is like how good sounds taste
Smoooooth...
Getting drunk on all the billy strings vids here
Damn straight, or even on the rocks.
This comment deserves ALOT more likes!
Here because Billy and spud told me to watch it #thedawgs
Wondering how many people out there really know how good this is...
Laid back, in the pocket and most importantly, NON RUSHED.
Excellent...
It's honestly super duper incredible
Billy and that fingering
Billy strings is one badass dude and all the band members that play with them no joke one of my favorite I'd really like to see him in person at a concert
Well put! In the pocket 👌
Man, simply perfection. These two nailed it
These 2 guys complement each other’s playing style so well. This was actually a beautiful collaboration. It was fluid. No contrasting playing or sound conflict.
Kinda like the Grateful Dead
They definitely know how to play with other musicians. No ego, just a pure love for the music.
Couldn’t live with myself if I hit like and ruined the 420 like count. 👍
an entire album of these two playing would be timeless. like "kind of blue" timeless.
Anyone else watching this for the 47th time?
Pure genius!
Here!
im on my 159th!!

Guitar store guy standing there like “So should I wrap those up for you guys?”
Guitar store guy is sitting behind the counter dusting off the "HELP WANTED " sign.
Those guitars should never be played again...ever!
😂😂
😁
I think he’s more like, “damn, those guitars are worth 4x the money now!”
i love the jazz influences obvious in marcus’ playing, it’s a heady mix of blues, jazz and country that’s all his own
The octaves are a nice touch 1
Go listen to the doc and David Grisham version of this Billy sounds exactly like doc it’s crazy

Listening to these guys is an inspiration. Sierra Ferrell and co. still top my charts.
Isn't it great to know we can come back and listen to this again and again. Makes the world not half bad.
104 here in Texas today, got a dog-walker going by that digs it the most
Folks are going to look back on this specific video in 90 years. This is insanely good.

Damn do I always come back to this performance..two of the very best to hold a guitar in this generation
Came here for Marcus.
Now heading out to listen to everything Billy has done.
Two great talents.
Thank you Carter vintage guitars.

Can't stop playing this shit. That guitar playing is so soulful . Fucking kill it guys
Thank you Baby Billy - MSSP
Her D-18 and J-200 videos specifically. And Billy Strings is on here too, spectacular.
Here because Billy MSSP
Great example of country blues! The future of music is secure with these two fine young players!
Yes, and it was composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by DuBose Heyward and Ira Gershwin for the opera Porgy and Bess!
Country Jazz.
I listen to this regularly to remind me what good music sounds like
this could play on repeat for a good while
This is one of the best videos on the internet. Two young masters laying it down!
amen!
Damn, Billy! That may be the best version of Summertime I have ever heard!!!
Was it good for you because it was fabulous for me.
With what grace these young men possess on those frets, I’mo pray that they create a f’n earth shaking rock metal blues record album.
Billy's voice is like an old soul, and these guy's playing is like a vintage wine, that is too precious to open. But, open it, they did. I'm glad they did.
2 of the hottest & coolest cats going these days. Bless their heart's for keeping "real music" alive.
Nice to see there are still some kids out there still carrying the torch of Real guitar playing. Those harmonics Billy hits , are as clean as it gets.
I’m blown away by the heart and soul that both musicians display. Billy actually sounds like Doc
I totally agree Sharon
Doc Martins? Need a lesbian shoe? Mehehehe (laughs in peter griffin)
This is one of those things that just makes you wonder how anyone can be as talented as this here
Helle! How are you doing today, please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you’re a fan ? Have a great day.. Stay Safe!
There's more talent sitting on these 2 stools than the entire crop of wanna bees on the radio today ...
Yes, I totally agree with you. Blessed to see them live. Two of the best shows I've ever witness. Wonderful talents and humbled young men.
I believe that was the best rendition of that song, hands down. Incredible, incredible musicianship. I feel privileged to have heard this... wow!
I think Nina Simone might have something to say about that....
The stellar way they play rhythm for each others leads is s true sign of greatness.
Best version of this song that I have ever heard. A good musician can just jam with anyone and make it sound awesome, and that's what these fellas do.

I never will understand how someone could give a thumbs down to something this good.
If I could I would mash the like button.
I wish these two got together more frequently. Fire ensemble.
My very favorite version of this classic. I'm wowed by the disciplined voicing of the notes and chords and complete talent of these 2 prodigies. Thanks guys!
They aren't prodigies. They are masters.
I’m a huge fan of both these guys. Billy’s flat picking is always phenomenal. Love this version but take a listen to Ray Charles and Cleo Laine take on Porgy and Bess’ ‘Summertime’. It is truly the quintessential version of this masterful song.
South Carolina and Michigan united in a way never seen before.
Where is Marcus harmonizing?? Would of been insanely great. Billy did surprising great given the melody.
Sounds so sweet!
I really love to listen to them both. Billy Strings is one of those special musicians that only comes once in a lifetime.
You could say that about both of them.
I could've listened to that beginning jam session forever! "Soul" is truly a universal language.
There’s no way to adequately describe how good it is that they’re in a room together playing and singing!!!
that was one of the most beautiful things i’ve ever seen and heard

This is a partnership we need to see more of. Pure talent.
This is what music is about boys !!
Damn ... best version i ever heard. No joke.
Adrian Whittenburg Just wonderful! Blown away!
This is a wonderful version, without a doubt - but you haven't been looking very hard 😉. That is not ANY take away from this fantastic rendition, for the record.
No joke.
Personally, best version is by Janis Joplin.
Billy sounds almost identical to Doc Watson. ruclips.net/video/vi8W93aJG_U/видео.html
Always a favorite song of mine sung by Janis Joplin of my generation. This is a beautiful version. Bravo to you young talented musicians.
I introduced my parents to Marcus King. They LOVE Billy as is, every concert they can attend, greeting , anything .But everytime I get around them they ask for this song or lonesome fugitive by them.

I've loved Marcus King's music for a while, and I grew up in the same area as Billy - we've even done a gig together. These guys sound great together!
Fancy seeing you here, my handsome young James.
Well you would clearly know if Marcus is 100 percent self taught player or did he take guitar lessons when he was young?
@@rollin19 he is self taught but he does have formal Jazz theory training later.
i've been jamming to this video on guitar and bass for years... can't get enough. such soul and sweetness, it's mesmerizing
Not just another version, of this classic tune, but one's that, up top👍!!!!
I swear watching these guys play is supernatural. I get goosebumps. Tremendous talent, Bravo 👏
This is what mastery looks like.
These 2 gents are fantastic. They both are tapped into that sacred vein where the best music flows forth and is timeless. They both are wonderful vocalists and as guitar pickers, they humble me.

Such a fresh take on this iconic Gershwin tune. Loving every note of it. The musicianship here cannot be over-estimated.

Tomo fujita you're amazing!
So cool you listen to Marcus and Billy too!
I hope 40-50 years from now you guys look back and see this video, my gosh you guys are so talented it’s unbelievable!
he sounded very similar to Doc. Literally 2 of the most talented musicians ive listened to in a long time. Excited for these guys to blow up even more in 2020
HappyMicTv yeah. When he started singing, it was eerie how much he had Doc’s timbre.
Jarod Lewis I had a moment there too.
In one of his interviews he talks about how Doc was his and his father's largest inspiration.

Im not a country music fan at all normally but Billy Strings is some player. He plays bluegrass like a demon, has a great voice and shows off some jazz chops here too. I think I just missed him coming to the UK sadly.
These guys are so good, a lot of hours logged in to play at this level.
Wow, Jazzie, Bluesy, is there anything Billy can't play? Marcus King is no slouch either. Just a really beautiful interpretation of a lovely song.
My adorable son-in-law sent this to me as he knew how much I love this song and I literally cried when I heard it! Whatta' beautiful arrangement!! Fantastic job y'all did!! Thank you!!
So did I
This is the best music on RUclips right now. Stunning.
"Billy's" voice is hauntingly like Doc Watson's. Wow!
that's the first thing I thought! Glad somebody noticed.
Docs his biggest influence besides family
Thought so too
Thought exactly that same thing
If you had or having a stressful day sit back close your eyes and play this on repeat. It’s in the pocket, smooth and beautifully done.
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. Billy and Marcus point the light to the a nice future of musicians. People get of the radio and the cornfed stuff spooned to you by the " music industry". This is diggity.
No diggity
A real treat to see and hear the worlds two best guitar players today in a duet. Made my day.
best accustic sound i have heard in 50 years
Thank you for posting this. This is what real talent looks and sounds like
That's literally one of the best things I've ever heard.
