You can tell a good bluegrass band by whether they can use a single Mic, and whether they use their instruments as percussion since they don’t have a drummer. These guys do it all very very well!
This carries me back to listening to Dolly’s show on tv and hearing it on the radio. Loretta Lynn, Porter Waggoner, Roy Clark, Tammy Wynette, so many others . . . Real Country is coming back, building on the foundation laid a long time since.
“What kind of music do you like” “Oh I like to listen to folk, bluegrass, contemporary metal, and a few other things. At the same time. Big billy strings fan.”
Darryl Hammons the iTunes version of the album I downloaded isn’t very clear and that really is unfortunate because the music is fantastic. Maybe remastering the album would help.
@@ianwoollard2063 I just think they are a "live" playing band. Studio out of comfort zone. Especially if someone else is trying to produce their sound.
There is a real art to the old bluegrass style of using one microphone for the whole group, and mixing by stepping toward or away from the microphone. There are 2 or 3 amps in the shot, but there are no cables running from any of the instruments, so I’m pretty sure it’s just the one mic. And this is a phenomenal example of it.
thank you for putting it out there...real life. Watch it fall. Why is everyone, in this very decade, burying their heads in the sand while our leaders dug the hole? Be well out there, gentlemen.
it is wonderful how Billy connects with his audience. His happiness, sadness; his complete empathy is a treasure. But, I also worry that he is able to protect himself; empathy can be overwhelming for him.
I am impressed with just how good they play together. Idk if one calls a blue grass band 'tight', but if, they are...the mandolin blew my mind.. makes it look too easy.
thanks guys love the music sorry I got high over the weekend. Billys music is really inspirational. But Hes a gr9 artists so of course he makes music from the heart. Love the music Bill. Maybe Next time im at the cap on sunday I wont ruin the afterpartys lol. Sorry about that. Peace and love auf wiedersehen
Yeah, my son says hes not of this world, he must be an alien. He's so good, it's mind boggling. The rest of his band are great, too. I feel bad for the bass player, in the background!
Thile is too hokey for Billy. Also, Jarod Walker is a better mandolinist anyway. Billy said himself that Jarod is the best mandolin player he’s ever met... and he’s met Chris Thile.
If I may insert my opinion..... NO WAY MAN! It's just how it is supposed to be! However, I feel ya, and I respect it! Chris Thile is an awesome mandolin player, but Jarrod is that half worn out shoe that fits Billy's bad foot so well and makes walking so much easier for him, and doesnt cause his back to hurt after being on his feet all day! ie, A PERFECT FIT!
Jarrod is a more fitting player for Billy's sound. But not so sure he's more talented than Thile. Thile is like the Bela Fleck of mandolin. Can play anything, any style.
I just heard this on the radio driving home. Got my car egged by some locals trying to push me out. This song helped me remain calm, clear, cool, and driven.
Finally some real songwriting, real music. Just discovered this Billy Strings yesterday, by the end of the day my neighbors knew who he was too.
It's refreshing, isn't it?
He's very good. And beginning to get recognized as one of the "best" guitar players...amongst list of the "best" ...
im 68 Billy is the goat in my life a writer like dylan , a front man like james brown and a guitar player like himself
To the 16 people that disliked this, can u do us all a favor and never reproduce again.Thanx
Spoken like a true conservative. Thanks for nothing.
Can we just appreciate how well Billy shares the mic here.
I can. and around we go
I’ve noticed that on other videos. An important part of musicianship is playing nice with others! 😀
It's standard practice in Bluegrass performances....
That is one special mic
He's that kinda guy
This should have millions of views. One mic, with dynamic sounds from each musician vocally and instrumentally. Talent on display.
You can tell a good bluegrass band by whether they can use a single Mic, and whether they use their instruments as percussion since they don’t have a drummer. These guys do it all very very well!
this song has to be the best song ive ever herd...
lyrically amazing as well
Was about to type the same thing
It's my absolute favorite song.
Me too
Nah gucci mane entire catalog shits on this white trash music
That bass line is beautiful
This is simply brilliance.
This carries me back to listening to Dolly’s show on tv and hearing it on the radio.
Loretta Lynn, Porter Waggoner, Roy Clark, Tammy Wynette, so many others . . . Real Country is coming back, building on the foundation laid a long time since.
Anyone who dont like Strings doesnt have true taste. He is blending genres
100%
Totally!!!!!
Couldn't put it any better than that
Agree, nobody can put a label on Billy 👍
Hey! Careful! Ok? I don't have any taste but i like Billy. I'm his rythmn guitar on some of his songs. Like this great work of art
Im here just now for the first time and boy have I been missing out. All my problems seem to disappear when this song comes on🤝🏽
“What kind of music do you like”
“Oh I like to listen to folk, bluegrass, contemporary metal, and a few other things. At the same time. Big billy strings fan.”
I love this soooooo much !
This is next level
This is the level AFTER next level!
I think this sound mix sounds even better than the official audio....

@@chrisbbill thats truly phenomenal
@@chrisbbill it is indeed just 1 mic. They played a three song set here I believe and Billy addresses it in between tunes.
Who else is on the billy strings oddesy in 2020?
I found dust in a baggie a few months back now I’m all in ...much respect to the homie
Found Billy about a week ago, can't stop listening
Billy's taken my Spotify by storm. Dude's just flat out phenomenal.
Beautiful.
The best band in the World!
thank you for putting it out there...real life. Watch it fall. Why is everyone, in this very decade, burying their heads in the sand while our leaders dug the hole? Be well out there, gentlemen.
Incredible sound. Earth shifting lyrics
Billie is a genius. Such a talented young mucker
Yes, he came out of the box in brand new shape and that old soul sound... 🌿
Beautiful ❤
i still listen to this song today love it
it is wonderful how Billy connects with his audience. His happiness, sadness; his complete empathy is a treasure. But, I also worry that he is able to protect himself; empathy can be overwhelming for him.
Love this band!!! Billy is the best but these 4 together are magic!!
Now, if you're a metal head locked in your genre, switch this to distortion in your mind and you'll get it.
how does this not have millions of views...
Soooooo glad I saw billy an boys been lovin them for 4 years now an his Michigan mama can’t wait till I c them strings again 💙
This song is sooo fuggggggin gooood
Speaks to the soul.
Possibly the only library I would like to visit
Billy and friends, a wonderful combination. Sympatico! This really gets to your soul.
Wow! What a great Christmas I had getting 2 Billy Strings tee shirts ,a mug and a mask. Awesome!!!
This is incredible
Him and his band are renegades and animals some of the best bluegrass/country/jam to date
The new building on the old. Love it!
This music gives me chills. Thank you
BILLY GOAT 🐐
Amazing song and performance
Such a great depiction of life and what it means to continue to move forward to better yourself . BMFS 🐐
These lyrics are epic !! JW sweet playin and William can make the guitar sing as well.
Most all his songs lyrics are great. I especially like Watch It Fall!
I am impressed with just how good they play together. Idk if one calls a blue grass band 'tight', but if, they are...the mandolin blew my mind.. makes it look too easy.
Banjo Jesus!!! Imma see you guys in two weeks. You better bring that fire.
Taking water, what a great true song making legend for Strings, he is so FINE!!!
These guys are awesome
So, so good
These guys. This video needs more VIEWS
he is something else
thanks guys love the music sorry I got high over the weekend. Billys music is really inspirational. But Hes a gr9 artists so of course he makes music from the heart. Love the music Bill. Maybe Next time im at the cap on sunday I wont ruin the afterpartys lol. Sorry about that. Peace and love auf wiedersehen
Such a tight band.
Literally.
Amazing 👏, yeah
Pick it GOAT!!
Been listening to Billy since he was a kid, love it.
Really loving the new album. Awesome 👏
That's picking brilliant!!!
That's just primo!
I found out about this guy smoking with his uncle lol. Best smoke session ever 😂
This guy is from the future
Yeah, my son says hes not of this world, he must be an alien. He's so good, it's mind boggling. The rest of his band are great, too. I feel bad for the bass player, in the background!
Damn! I hit the thumbs up to be 748th. Wish I could have been here at the 746th so I could have been a 747.
I just hope that Chris Thile and Billy Strings will be a thing.
Thile is too hokey for Billy. Also, Jarod Walker is a better mandolinist anyway. Billy said himself that Jarod is the best mandolin player he’s ever met... and he’s met Chris Thile.
If I may insert my opinion.....
NO WAY MAN!
It's just how it is supposed to be!

New fan, love these guy!
If this song doesn’t make you wanna sit by a lake drinking a Busch light then i don’t know what will
This ooooold boat is taking waaaaaaaaterrrr. Fucning gnarly nate
I just heard this on the radio driving home. Got my car egged by some locals trying to push me out. This song helped me remain calm, clear, cool, and driven.
The secret to Billy's sound... Jesus on banjo....
So good!!!
Bonkers.
Amazing Talented
Amazing
Hooked
Friggin Glorious.
Time to turn the wheel around
Music to my ears! BMFS
awesome tight
Awesome as always, love yalls sound,
Solid
Fukn cool.
That Mando though 🔥
Love this tune! Sad lyrics but damn it’s well written!
pretty good stuff
❤
Wow
Excellence
Whew! Those harmonies might have come straight from the Kentucky Gentlemen!
A classic
You’d think these boys could afford more than one mic
They know what there doing in that sound room 1 🎤
Its old old school, share the mic yall
Makes me think of all the people in Appalachia right now. They ain’t going down without a fight though!
This song reminds me of a tribute to Keller Williams tribute to Peter Rowan's Thirsty in the Rain
Muito bom!
Never knew daniel Radcliffe could play mandolin 😂😂
Old Dan Radcliffe isn't just good at waving wands, he picks a mean mandolin too
Who knew Daniel Radcliffe played mandolin
like # 420
1111
those thumbs down have to be old high school bullies and ex girlfriends. 😂
Hard to keep your foot still, you can't.
who were the 2 losers that gave this a thumbs down??????????
Tone deaf people!
There's 8, now... Technically, a herd of tone deaf losers..
The saddest pieces of sh*t in the world
