This is the type of solo material I crave from Billy. I love all the Dead covers, and the bluegrass shredding, and the rock-ish stuff, but acoustic instruments, around strong lyrics, and simple, and strong melodies, it is MAGiC
I LOVE this song! Its mournful minor-key melody, its clever incremental repetition, its plaintive musings, its haunting refrain -- only a troubadour makes such music. ["Troubadour" comes from the French "trouvere," "to find." A troubadour finds and shapes the stories which touch us all.]
Best acoustic guitarist alive is a very large stretch. Look up Cody Kilby, he took the award for best guitarist of 2022, billy and Molly Tuttle were runners up.
I’m proud it was written in this century!!! This is some amazing work murder ballads are as old as songs get! Especially in Bluegrass, Doc had a few… but this one is beautiful and it’s about to be released recorded🙏🙌
Loving Billy Strings, like him on stage with my favorites, Jackson and Emmylou, who I’ve loved since I was a teenager in the 70’s, and Steve Earle who I listen to on his Outlaw Sirius show. Jackson Browne, Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell are some of my favorite musicians, so glad Billy is getting to play with Jackson a lot this last year. I love “I Don’t Like The Way He Looks At My Alice “, such a great Americana song ❤❤❤❤
Early in the fall back deep in the woods the first hint of frost is upon you About a mile from the field stone wall its not hard to get lost if you want to Too far from the city to see the white light I move in the shadows under cover of the night Too far from the highway to blow a flat tire so I stare at the ashes and fire Well John St. Paul is a well-known man of wealth in his sky scrapper palace He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives I don’t like how he looks at my Alice I work his garage with a wrench and my glove bring the stench of his gasoline home to my love She swears once again she has all she desires as I stare in the ashes and fire One day late last week when I got the word the boss needs his caddy all steady I remember his eyes all over my wife as I carefully got my tools ready What a terrible shame should he ever break down with me on his trail and so far from town If his brakes were to fail if he blew out a tire, I stared at the ashes and fire Well John St. Paul is a well-known man of wealth in his sky scrapper palace He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives I don’t like how he looks at my Alice I don’t like how he looks at my Alice
Thanks Mary Ellen! It was indeed an amazing show. If you're curious, I gathered my other videos from the show in a RUclips playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLwdc0qZNx0tbzrIzUAa23O_acPXB1ZmZS.
Young man, you're in some of the greatest company that's ever been on a stage !! And without a dought you're becoming great as well, one song at a time !!!!
Lots of love and respect for Billy, but I must say I'm glad you included the lyrics in the liner notes for the video. Me hearing "I don't like how he looks at my ass" just didn't sound right...
Would've love to see his show at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo this week, but $156 for General Admission floor seats is too salty for me. Hey Billy, next time play at the State Theater.
Yep! Good eye. Steve Earle was the lynchpin of this charity concert, and did a bunch of his own songs. You can see all the videos I shot here: ruclips.net/p/PLwdc0qZNx0tbzrIzUAa23O_acPXB1ZmZS.
Genius. Having Jackson listening that intently to your composition is a precious gift and I’m sure Billy knew that.
The talent of that young man is mesmerizing and out of this world

Word
AMEN ☝️
This is the Billie I love
Exactly it makes me cry every time I watch and hear this and IN the Morning Light!
Billy is such a great song writer
Billy is an old soul with wisdom beyond his years.
Two ladies backing him were phenomenal.
This one caught me off guard someone is cutting onions somewhere , it’s such a beautiful song
Awesome! Had all those legends on stage on stage looking at him too! No fear!

Billy Strings, Jackson Browne and Steve Earle. WoW!? Now that's a what I call a songwriters convention! Excellent!
Going to see him in Dublin in December 22.
Will be amazing to see probably the best acoustic guitarist alive,
youll need a new pair of dancing shoes. have fun, its a party!!!!
Glasgow in December for us❤
Just saw him in Oklahoma City in October. Was on the front row. What a concert!
You won’t be disappointed.
Best acoustic guitarist alive is a very large stretch. Look up Cody Kilby, he took the award for best guitarist of 2022, billy and Molly Tuttle were runners up.
I saw him in Manchester, fucking insane
I remember when Jackson was younger than Billy is now.
We may be old but we know good music .
I love how humble this kid is to he gives me hope for the feature for the first time in a long time
He's very proud of that song and I reckon its a masterpiece too. Love the humanness of Billy's love and honour of people, life and integrity.

Other shows billy and Jackson Browne have played together?
Stumbled on another video of Billy, and now searching you tube for more. Stunning.
Got to love a good ol' murder ballad. Great work Billy!
Yessss!!!😂😂 that’s what I said first time I saw it🙏🙌 murder ballads are my jams! His is really good and worded fantastically ✨
Haunting and Beautiful. Just got to see it live in Oregon at Fairwell fest...
Awesome Tune !
Dig the the way he finished and sat there in the moment enjoying the expression on Jackson Brown's face !
Pure Pleasure 🐐✨
And in the company of such epic word masters! Billy is a poet, a storyteller, a magnetic presence onstage, a great muscisian...but those words!
What an amazing haunting song
Early in the fall back deep in the woods the first hint of frost is upon you
About a mile from the field stone wall its not hard to get lost if you want to
Too far from the city to see the white light I move in the shadows under cover of the night
Too far from the highway to blow a flat tire so I stare at the ashes and fire
Well John St. Paul is a well-known man of wealth in his sky scrapper palace
He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives I don’t like how he looks at my Alice
I work his garage with a wrench and my glove bring the stench of his gasoline home to my love
She swears once again she has all she desires as I stare in the ashes and fire
One day late last week when I got the word the boss needs his caddy all steady
I remember his eyes all over my wife as I carefully got my tools ready
What a terrible shame should he ever break down with me on his trail and so far from town
If his brakes were to fail if he blew out a tire, I stared at the ashes and fire
Well John St. Paul is a well-known man of wealth in his sky scrapper palace
He likes his old Cadillac prepped for long drives I don’t like how he looks at my Alice
I don’t like how he looks at my Alice
🥀Beautiful Song amazing lyrics, soothing vocals and music!🥀☝️
I’m absolutely floored. Watch me take this views to a million in a week
I've already put a good 40 in two days
Billy Strings is just sooo goood ❤️❤️
Thank you so much for filming this and sharing it. I imagine that whole show was amazing! 🎵
Thanks Mary Ellen! It was indeed an amazing show. If you're curious, I gathered my other videos from the show in a RUclips playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLwdc0qZNx0tbzrIzUAa23O_acPXB1ZmZS.
That was very much like a folk song.
Yes, and?
As Billy once said, "It's all just music man."
Channeling a little bit of Doc Watson.
Bravo
Jerry Garcia was known to do "folk music."
...damn...just - damn...speechless...
Young man, you're in some of the greatest company that's ever been on a stage !! And without a dought you're becoming great as well, one song at a time !!!!
Definitely talking about his lady (Allie) ....this is unbelievable. Blessed to have seen him before he got big and present. Legend in the making
Emmy Lou is impressed big time.
They all were , as an i ! 🐐✨

Love that he used a Minor Key to make it sound so haunting. Great Job Billy. I love this song.

"It's not hard to get lost if you want to..."
Is this song on Spotify?
I got this on a shirt- this is my story
North country blues , BD
You're right. I wonder where Dylan got the tune from......
Lots of love and respect for Billy, but I must say I'm glad you included the lyrics in the liner notes for the video. Me hearing "I don't like how he looks at my ass" just didn't sound right...
Wonder what Steve was saying to emmylou at the end there
Definite Townes Van Zandt vibes on this one.
Would've love to see his show at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo this week, but $156 for General Admission floor seats is too salty for me. Hey Billy, next time play at the State Theater.
Maybe change the last line from "I don't like how he looks at my Alice" to I don't like how he looked at my Alice.
Brilliant!! ❤
Who's the dude with the black guitar on the left?
Steve Earle "Copperhead Road"
with the white hair is Chris Masterson
And the fiddle player is Mrs Masterson. They’re part of Steve Earle’s band and also The Mastersons solo.. or duo, lol.
Jeff Beck
Is that Steve Earle sitting up there?
Yep! Good eye. Steve Earle was the lynchpin of this charity concert, and did a bunch of his own songs. You can see all the videos I shot here: ruclips.net/p/PLwdc0qZNx0tbzrIzUAa23O_acPXB1ZmZS.
Billy is acting strange here
tears
*_%!@“6&7z_*
