    Growing up in rural east TN, this song hit hard. Watched so many people I love pass away, unable to break hard family chains or the call to use. It was very hard to leave them and become a person who could help. Just wish I had got better before I lost my little brother. This is an amazing song about healing. Just wish some of the people lost didn't have to be.
    Amazing Music.

Was fortunately able to get my younger brother to wake up from his to decade long addiction. But so many couldn't hear their souls calling out to the. I guarantee you this song has saved people, music has that power. Much love to you and your family!

    Discovered Billy Strings two weeks ago when I watched an older video called Lower Standards where Billie was playing Dust in a Baggie in someone's Living Room. I'm guessing he was about 18 years old at the time. That video led me to other of Billie's videos and I must say I was astonished at his talent. Have since bought three of his albums. A friend of mine who is very much into bluegrass indicated that Billie is well known by bluegrass buffs. I like bluegrass but it seems to me that while Billie is great with conventional blue grass he has gone beyond that. His songs like "Dust in a Baggie," "Turmoil and Tinfoil," "Might Be Seven," and many more seem to be a mix of bluegrass, southern rock, metal and folk. Whatever one wants to call it he is truly a generational talent.

      Is it the beautiful sound of the violin, the pickings of the banjo, the voice, the guitar, the other instruments.
      Or maybe just my personal situation that I'm in when i cry listening to this masterpiece.
      Either way if i cry or not i will always enjoy this song.

    I love the Monty Python influence mixed with the magic mushroom psychedelia.

    This song sings to so many,Billy really touched so many people with this piece, only those who been through this crazy up and down and inside and out crazy ride a lot of us were on can really relate. Some people will just never understand.

    One of my new faves, of course every song I hear by them is my new fave. Back I even like his version of Tennessee Stud. And I 'vs known that song forever.

    So I first heard this song Sunday January 19th, 2020.
    It’s now Thursday January 23rd, 2020.
    I now know every word and this is my favorite song.
    I’m telling everybody.
    So far I’ve started every day and ended every night with it.
    I don’t know what it is I just get a high from it.
    An inspiration, if you will.
    Hopefully we can get some dialogue going and get you to do a show over here in Oklahoma.

      Reading a comment that completely hits home...
      Then realizing I wrote it myself four years ago!
      How far weve come, from the youtube algorithm to seeing away from the mire on adult swim, to playing with Willie Nelson and chattin it up with Theo. What a great world.
