God Damn... those first verses kinda punched me in the damn throat. THAT KID....is a an old soul. So wonderful to accidentally still finds gems like this in an ocean of endless fluff. Impressed
@@jamesevans4046 Please stop shoving your baseless beliefs down others throats, just like I'm sure you complain about others shoving theirs down yours.
@@shanesmith2792 why not he is here to stay and on the come up now more then ever and he deserves every single bit of it. Best artist of the year best bluegrass player of the year all of it should be his. No one this young plays like this brother.
This kid is so talented. I feel like I've been listening to him play my entire life. His voice, style of playing and lyrics hit a chord within me that bring up lifelong memories.
Doggone it, Billy, it's just not fair. I've got tons of stuff I need to be doing and I just can't seem to tear myself away from your music to save my life. I've only recently discovered you and your incredible band of fine musicians and now I'm hopelessly addicted to your music. Listen to it day and night. Love nothing better than to grab the old D-35 and play along, especially to this catchy tune! Would love to see a live performance some day. You guys make it look way too easy and obviously love what you do. Keep up the great work. A new fan for life here.
I grew up traverse city Michigan. My step dads music venue hosted him and Don Julen many a time. Wish I could could go back to those days. I've been feeling pretty lost and hopeless for the past few years but every time I watch one of these videos I get that young spark in my bones that reinvigorates me
How is he NOT a country music star on music row ....Guitar , voice ...dude has it all !! He is better than any current star i can think of ...HANDS DOWN !!
At the second Louisville concert, during the break before the last verse, Billy played "On the Banks of the Old Ohio": another river murder song. So, while we were on the bank of the Ohio in Louisville, we had a river murder song inside of a river murder song. Trippy!
Billy, is turning music on it's ear, so to speak. Blue Grass has been unchained, Billy is not the first damn sure not the last. This young man has taken the music of his generation to a place it has never been before. His live shows are amazing. Go see him before he becomes a superstar. When you have sit 800 ft back from the stage at Tiger Stadium to see his show.
Your prediction of him becoming a superstar 2 years ago ,was 100%correct. He is now exploding on to the entire popular music scene . I predict by 2022 he will be a musical household name.
The lyrics ans concept of this song are incredible not to mention the actual music itself, down to the bridge part towards the end.. unbelievable..the words tho are just amazing 👏
That guy at 1.04. I dream of being that lucky. To have the person I love resting on my shoulder while we sit and watch Billy perform something so fucking gorgeous in such a small crowd. I hope they both really loved every moment of it.
ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS!! I listen to it on sad days and I listen to it on happy days cause it reminds me how far I've came!! BMFS is the real deal and we are privileged to be able to see this beautiful transformation of music and love!! The people need a way to find each other and this is that place!! One love yall!! 😄🔥💃
at 3:56 as anyone noticed the unintentional high pitched squeal in the banjo players voice ? i'd often wondered why at this point he turns to billy and starts smiling ? well, thats the reason !, funny, love billy and his band, i'm just hoping, when he can, he'll announce a U.K. Tour, i swear i'll be first in line...... keep up the great work guys, big love from the U.K.
Judging by his lil smile after, I'm guessing it's unintentional!! God me too man, near Glasgow and would literally crawl on my hands and knees to anywhere in the UK to see these guys live
He can also play the traditional bluegrass. The torch has been passed or should be from Tony Rice to Billy Strings bluegrass continues as well as moving forward!!!!
JamTracks by Randy Struble Back in the day people used to complain about Tony Rice also. He had that new sunding stuff that wasn't like Flatt and Scruggs.
I have heard alot of his stuff now and this one is probably my favorite. Him, Marcus king, and Tyler childers are really really talented. Cody jinks too
He's a showman - the glasses, the fan blowing his hair - he's an ironic country rocker who draws even a reluctant audience (which this one was; I was there) completely into his web.
Great, Billy has a bright future, good singer, great guitar picker. Banjo, very good. Mando player very good, smooth. All of their stuff is very, very good. They could hold my attention for hours.
To all the people who had only "discovered" Billy recently: What the heck were you watching before that youtube never recommended Billy? Not bluegrass I guess. I started listening to AJ Lee and Molly Tuttle family band 8 yrs ago or so, Billy Strings and Don Julin showed up in youtube suggestions several years ago. So did Della Mae. Maybe you watched too much rock. Or metal. Or, god forbid, New country??
This guy plays a GREAT guitar...but I have trouble listening to all his prison and "tin foil" drug songs. I for one don't belong to that loser culture.
Billy and his band are just...... What word can discribe them they never play a song the same twice but its awesome everytime. You need to play walnut vally festavil in winfield ks. I need to see this show live
God Damn... those first verses kinda punched me in the damn throat. THAT KID....is a an old soul. So wonderful to accidentally still finds gems like this in an ocean of endless fluff. Impressed
Please respect your Lord...
@@jamesevans4046gtfo lmfao. The Lord knows no religion. Existence is God. Gtfo with all that judging nonsense. Not very holy of you to judge.
@@jamesevans4046 Please stop shoving your baseless beliefs down others throats, just like I'm sure you complain about others shoving theirs down yours.
this song is nothing short of a masterpiece
Wish I wasn't so old,I'd love to listen to Billy for the next forty years!!
I simply can't get enough of Billy Strings. I found him about a month ago. He has quickly become my new favorite. Keep on keepin on Billy.
Same here, cant get enough! This song particularly, I adore
Don’t get to attached
@@shanesmith2792 why not he is here to stay and on the come up now more then ever and he deserves every single bit of it. Best artist of the year best bluegrass player of the year all of it should be his. No one this young plays like this brother.
me too. cant stop listening to this
I saw him live on 10/6/17 in Lexington NC. I'm 56 and have seen many of the greats. He is already there. He is a force of nature and just damned good!
This kid is so talented. I feel like I've been listening to him play my entire life. His voice, style of playing and lyrics hit a chord within me that bring up lifelong memories.

So true Billy we need to join the church of Billy and those strings! Happy Thanksgiving Bill!
Same 😭😭
Amen to that. Go get’em Billy!

@@tylerlautner492 Hang in there, bro. Music like Billy's will help lift your mood and spirit, and keep you feeling and thinking young.
How is he NOT a country music star on music row ....Guitar , voice ...dude has it all !! He is better than any current star i can think of ...HANDS DOWN !!
Country?
Newgrass/progressive bluegrass is its own subgenre these days, and its just not gonna play on the radio unfortunately
Still true
Dumbass. He plays grass and live performances. Fuck Nashville. He’s making real Jack $$&&&$&$$. Hope you understand now you idjut
He is NOT country dumbass. He does zero country a lot of rock n grass
A deep cool breath of fresh air .. Greetings from Scotland.
That last D chord he hits is just pure magic
Everything this dude does is special
One of the best murder ballads ever.
That's not what the songs about
@@liammarsh7078 Isn't it? What do you think it's about?
@@liammarsh7078 give that last verse another listen

Go see him at the Ark in Ann Arbor on Sunday November 26. No farther than 60 feet away.
I saw the show in Mancelona on Saturday night, and heard the simulcast from the Ark.
^^So true. And you'd better hurry.
Yes, this
Your prediction of him becoming a superstar 2 years ago ,was 100%correct.
He is now exploding on to the entire popular music scene . I predict by 2022 he will be a musical household name.
Glenn Cambell, Roy Clark, John Denver, BillyStrings😍😍😍😍
Pure genius. The real musicians truly are over there in America. Absolutely genius.
What a pleasure to discover new, creative music !!!
Anyone who has ever done a fair amount of time this song hits hard
Fan for life.
I don't think you can get any better than Billy. He is my favorite entertainer
The lyrics ans concept of this song are incredible not to mention the actual music itself, down to the bridge part towards the end.. unbelievable..the words tho are just amazing 👏
The whole band is awesome❤❤❤❤
That guy at 1.04. I dream of being that lucky. To have the person I love resting on my shoulder while we sit and watch Billy perform something so fucking gorgeous in such a small crowd. I hope they both really loved every moment of it.
I love all of Billy's offerings. That said, I can't find a better example of the perfect song.
would have to be away from the mire for me out of their original work but hearing them cover west dakota rose melted my face live.
One of my top 5 favorite songs ever.
What are the other four?
Felt this in my fucking bones , man . Wow. Beautiful. This dude is special y'all, soak it up
ALL TIME FAVORITE SONGS!! I listen to it on sad days and I listen to it on happy days cause it reminds me how far I've came!!

This song is pure genius.
Amazing. What a song. Great band.
I could have all of my bills taken care of if I had a nickel for every time I came here and watched this video😍❤️
Just can't get enough of his stuff right now!
Keep the lockdown coming!
The kid has some chops! However, really check out the banjo player, Billy Falling. He is amazing!
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
This song is so beautiful with the violin.
Little new ,little old ,good grass,Newgrass
A lot of talent here, Billy is a very good singer, and a great guitar player. Did not hear any weak spots here.
You never will, with him.
This is astonishing. So proud of you, sweetheart.
Maybe my favorite song ever
Love him.
Sweet for my ears , thank you , love much Billy''s voice and its well playing , like silk in my earss

UN BONHEUR

He's more of a Doc Watson idolizer
I think I’m responsible for like at least 111 views on this video
I think I've just realized what this song's story.
I’d love to see billy team up with Jeff Austin if it hasn’t been done already. Both have so much talent
Man.. this.
I have heard alot of his stuff now and this one is probably my favorite. Him, Marcus king, and Tyler childers are really really talented. Cody jinks too
I’m easily 18k views by myself.
This song has heavy Sturgill vibes.
Sturg wishes he had just some of Billy's talent.
3:55 banjo dude squeaks😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This was pretty good. Honestly I with the rose colored glasses in 2017 I was expecting some hipster crap.
I LOVE the glasses!
He's a showman - the glasses, the fan blowing his hair - he's an ironic country rocker who draws even a reluctant audience (which this one was; I was there) completely into his web.
I think he might have borrowed them for this girl before the show,she was there.ruclips.net/video/kucIkNxCuEA/видео.html
mbsnyderc they were molly tuttle’s glasses
Oink glasses hide the red eyes
Is this an original?
Yes, Billy String original tune.

It's a great song! Love me some billy strings! Originals are not disappointing
Great, Billy has a bright future, good singer, great guitar picker. Banjo, very good. Mando player very good, smooth. All of their stuff is very, very good. They could hold my attention for hours.

Just realized he is in prison because they think he killed the woman.
Pretty sure they think that cuz he killed the woman.

Hey man, don't judge! Just be glad we got here, finally!!
@@cara9467 welcome!!
You are special
How do you hide your eyes when you ate too many brownies before a show? Wear pink glasses!
Damm sure is he's guilty
Amazing musicians... terrible stage presence minus Billy
Who cares it for your ears not your eye's that is why bands have front men.
This guy plays a GREAT guitar...but I have trouble listening to all his
prison and "tin foil" drug songs. I for one don't belong to that loser culture.
A lot of bluegrass is about hard times. This is just another turn in the "hard times" theme.
Billy and his band are just...... What word can discribe them they never play a song the same twice but its awesome everytime. You need to play walnut vally festavil in winfield ks. I need to see this show live
@@hawksrule2398
Nah...only a small percentage
does...and I'm not one of them.
Drugs and prison are for losers
who don't know Jesus Christ.
@@hawksrule2398
I see. And which church would
that be? There are so many.
Bluegrass is all about hard times, suck it up princess.
