"The hard stuff and whiskey", and all the BS that comes with it will age you quickly, but can also give you the wisdom of an old soul if you can come out the other side of it. I think this might be partly why he's so great.
He's friggin amazing, soooo talented. A joy to listen to. And the man himself......Willie, omg Music that reminds me of home. I'm 60 now, l drive a v8 ss ute, worked to hell, and between the sound of the extractors, and the big cam up front, and the fierce way it looks, lm still cruising around to the sounds of this kid , belting out the banjo 😊😊😊
Willie is 90. Billy is 30. There are 60 years and many lifetimes worth of experience between these two craftsmen. It's phenomenal and humbling to think about.
Great, isn't it?! When 3x Winfield National Mandolin Champion Solly Burton first recorded with me at age 17 on the CD called Bluephoria by B.G. McPike and the Haute Club), Fiddle virtuoso Carolyn Dutton was was nearly 70. Three generations of musicians only deepens the spirit!
Not to mention life experiences & the knowledge of his Dad. Mr. Terry Barber. Unimaginable! But, Love it! Sooo Proud of Billy and his journey! C'mon! Who else better than Mr. Willie Nelson!?! Awesome & Timeless Memory to have😉
Anyone else proud of how far Billy has come?! I remember listening to dust in a baggy a million times in covid thinking how haven't I heard this guy on the radio... BTW I'm in the UK, that's how good he is 👌 keep going and you'll be a household name in no time.
I was listening from his earliest days with Don Julin. I guess when you never watch pop, rap crap and bro country, yt suggests better stuff like Billy.
I am going to see Willie, Billy and Bob Dylan in August. I can’t wait.. i love all three of them. My daughter bought us front row tickets for my birthday.
Now this is "real" country folks. I see music like this traditional vibe returning to the big music machine and it's about time. Thanks Willie and Strings.
Willie nelson is my argument with my family on why I choose pot over prescriptions or liquor. This song will never leave my playlist. Not till the day I die. It's a part of me now.
My sibling and I are 13 months apart. I've been high since the 80's, she was drunk for 30 years. She looks twice my age and has way more health issues than I do. She is sober and not always enjoying it. I'm still high and happy with more dark than light hair and fit enough to hike 20 miles or cycle 30.
That is a great video! I saw Willie Nelson some 40 years ago as a young lady. It was an awesome concert and after the show , Mr Nelson stayed and met with every fan that wanted to say hello and he signed his name on the concert flyer I had. I was just thrilled that he gave me a hug and a little peck on the cheek. Such a great memory, I'm now a much older lady of 65 and I still smile at that memory and my husband still teases me on how I blushed. Wonderful to see how even now he can relate to younger artists. Willie Nelson is a National Treasure, and I will always have a little bit of a crush on him. Billy Strings is so talented and it's great to see them work together.
Seriously, I'm going to be playing this song frequently until I die. Some people think the herb is bad, but here we have a Grammy award winner smoking a joint while recording.
Not just Billy but the other band members are outstanding too. Gotta give those boys creds for playing and putting all the notes in just the right place.
This duet is one I've wanted for awhile. It's every bit as good as I hoped it would be and a subject I expected. It's even 4 minutes and 20 seconds exactly! Every detail is perfect.
The message of the song is the damn truth for many of us getting older. Could drink like a beast back in the day, but I stick to smoking what I grow these days.
I had about six months until last weekend… back on day 3 now. This song just encapsulates so much. The last verse had me cryin man. Keep truckin dude great job
I’m still an alcoholic but I love my cannabis I hate alcoholism I really do it is hard to stop and it’s worse than heroin I think I used to drink 9 L of cider a day and it was 7.5% cider and it’s not normal side it’s all chemicals I have cut down to 2 L a day still not enough
@UKTHUGZOFWAR90 And I can no longer say I'm sober! After all those years I picked up a couple hard ciders! After two, I start feeling kind of nauseous. 3 and I'm throwing up. (8% ea). My how things can change.

Hello Erin 👋 Simple music can make you sing, a simple hug can make you feel, better, simple things can make you happy, I hope my simple hello will put a smile on your face..

I’m a 42 year old Iraq/Afghanistan combat veteran that lives in Mississippi and I’ll say that Billy strings is one of those “once in a lifetime” artists he’s got the “it”

Congratulations mate! I think cannabis can be a great addiction medicine when used mindfully. However I'm gonna be that guy and point out that cocaine sort of does grow out of the ground, same with heroin, tobacco, poison ivy, arsenic, lava, etc. And although it has been through a bit more processing, alcohol is generally made from plants. Also, some speed is made from ephedrine - an alkaloid extracted from plants (however usually made from pseudoephedrine which is a synthetic chemical). Conversley, one could argue that modern weed is somewhat 'unnatural' given all the genetic modification and because nowadays most weed is grown indoors, often in synthetic substrates. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge advocate of Californinian sobriety as a means of recovery for some, but I think its good to remember that not everything 'natural' or 'from the earth' is innocuous. When you really think about it, almost everything comes from the ground, including us. And to the ground we shall all return. Unforunately we are royally screwing up the earth's soil. Rant over. Man, I have way too much time on my hands.
@ if I can pick it and smoke it I’m cool with it. If I gotta bring science into it, it’s a drug. I’d probably even try real opium. I smoke cigars, I’d even chew coca leaves, just no refining of the psychoactive chemicals to make them more potent than the plant
Man i love hearing billy sing I've been a big fan of his for a long time. what an honour for him and us to have Willie join in.. two great voices together
I've always wanted to play piano with Willie, but who am?! I'm really glad Billy got together with Willie and did this, it's so dang sweet. Happy 90th Birthday to the great Willie Nelson! That's some sweet pedal steel playing, too... very sweet.
Hello 👋 Rylie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
From being at his first open mic night at the Hayloft in Traverse City to seeing him sing with Willie. What a journey Billy is on so happy for his success!
I remember seeing him busk in Traverse and then saw him at Founders here in Grand Rapids before seeing him at a few different regional bluegrass festivals. He’s the best - I’m so happy for him!
Sounded awesome, Billy!! What a treat!! Singing with Willie Nelson is a total honor to me. He's the legend of our time, living and looking happy as he is, it is so nice to see him singing again!!
This is excellent. I've lived in California my entire life and found most friends go Cali sober by 30. The central coast seems to have a slight twist as they add beer in moderation. This song and a joint made my morning!
My 13 year old nephew was lamenting his friends don't listen to "old country." So I played him some Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, Marcus King and Tommy Emmanuel.
If this isn't the best duet I've heard in years! Willie still has it! and Billy is one of the best singer/musician of all times! What a song too! I would have a completed bucket list if I were to be in the same room as those two, playing and singing until the cows come home!!!! Lovely!!!!
If this don't hit #1 on more than one chart, the system is rigged. I grew up around some very fine musicians and this is about the best I've heard. On endless loop and smiling all the time.
Just love the fact that the originals that really made the change in music find themselves playing with Billy. Keep it up Billy, you are and will make the next explosion in the world of music! I love the sounds you find and expression of them in the music you make. Please don't ever stop the world needs you
Willie Nelson has performed music in nine different decades! He started in a band and wrote his first hit songs in the mid-1940s when he was 12 years old.
I bet Billy is still pinching himself. Totally a well deserved honor to have an icon like Willie Nelson back HIM up! Congrats, Billy and Willie on an amazing track!
It is now October 12 of 2024, and Billy has the number one album on the country charts, the bluegrass charts, and a couple different places, he has become one of the most popular musicians in the world. But I predicted that two years ago, and nobody believed me. Billy Strings is going straight to the top. And he is the hardest working one , in my opinion.
My daddy and i would roll down the road delivering loads listening to Willy and the boys.... Bless you all forever and ever... i love you Willy and Billy... a tip of the hat to simpler times and the goodness of the folks of the land...
So glad to see this.. saw Willie in Charleston WV when I was 18 drove 2 hours he put on a free concert. Had the best time of my life. Just turned 37 today and will never forget that day
The greats that are still alive all know by now, Billy and the boys are the not only the keepers of the musical flame, but the glue that binds people together.
@@dericanslum1696 Correct. Hard work and love of the art. No need for spooks. Besides, some of these boys is atheists and proud of it. Don't need to shade them with religious nonsense.
How can this not have millions of views already?! Is brilliant. Seeing and hearing Willie, Billy's voice and the picking, the slide, the fiddle,all of it just off the hook. 🔥. Got me feeling good
this is a big milestone for you Billy...Willie is a household name all across the world ...smoking a fatty with Willie?..i wouldn't expect anything any less..Willie is still stellar at his age and is always sharing his stage and audience with up and coming superstars..and you Billy have came to the top.. congrats on yalls much deserved success..sendin much love from Central Bama
jeez, this kid hasn't hit 30 yet, god bless'm.
lol wut he was 31 when he posted this
"The hard stuff and whiskey", and all the BS that comes with it will age you quickly, but can also give you the wisdom of an old soul if you can come out the other side of it. I think this might be partly why he's so great.

Willie is 90. Billy is 30. There are 60 years and many lifetimes worth of experience between these two craftsmen. It's phenomenal and humbling to think about.
It's good to see OG Willy passing on the torch. I didn't think about the generation gap, you're spot on!
Absolutely.
Great, isn't it?!
When 3x Winfield National Mandolin Champion Solly Burton first recorded with me at age 17 on the CD called Bluephoria by B.G. McPike and the Haute Club), Fiddle virtuoso Carolyn Dutton was was nearly 70. Three generations of musicians only deepens the spirit!
In Willy's prime, he couldn't play jack. He was lucky to strum a clean chord.
in 20 years you guys will all be praising Madonna
Not to mention life experiences & the knowledge of his Dad. Mr. Terry Barber.
Unimaginable! But, Love it!
Sooo Proud of Billy and his journey!
C'mon! Who else better than Mr. Willie Nelson!?! Awesome & Timeless Memory to have😉
I appreciate that a song with Willie is 4:20 long.
graciously understated 😑💨
Something tells me that's not by accident. lol
Touchè amigo
but the song is 3mins 50seconds long
Nice catch. I thought I was cool 😎
Anyone else proud of how far Billy has come?! I remember listening to dust in a baggy a million times in covid thinking how haven't I heard this guy on the radio... BTW I'm in the UK, that's how good he is 👌 keep going and you'll be a household name in no time.
Hes doing a Europe tour again this year
We are all over him in Australia. We wish Billy would think about touring Oz.
True, he’s great man. Glad to see his success
I was listening from his earliest days with Don Julin. I guess when you never watch pop, rap crap and bro country, yt suggests better stuff like Billy.
Found him on You Tube 8 years ago. Started crying. Thank G this kid followed his path.
To hear Willie Nelson say, "aw, pick it Willie"....
This man can die happy now. What an honor.
He's immortal.
"Breaking news........ NOOOOOOOO."
He'll be immortalized, that's certain.
@hammbass6879 Holy shit bro, you had me thinking billy died 😅
Then I thought maybe willy did.
billy not willie 🙂
@@TheCoin100 lol, you're right😜 never noticed the typo... Imma leave it tho!
@@trieditdied8681 you were right. Willie said pick it Willie.
If Billy were 50-60 years older, it would have been "Waylon, Willie, Billy, and the boys." He would have been right in that mix raising holy hell.
I just got a chill thinking about that. How good is this
I am going to see Willie, Billy and Bob Dylan in August. I can’t wait.. i love all three of them. My daughter bought us front row tickets for my birthday.
I listened to this on full blast at my house last night, my neighbor threw a brick through my window to hear it more clearly. 🔥
Yes!
👍🤣🤣🤣🤣
😅 not one of mine…
😂😂😂
Nice try trying to recreate the comment from Dust in a baggie or whatever one it is
Now this is "real" country folks. I see music like this traditional vibe returning to the big music machine and it's about time. Thanks Willie and Strings.
Yessss! So exciting to witness this resurgence of true country! Finally some legit outlaws out here!
100% agreed
Well said brother. We need more of this true music back on todays big stage where it belongs.
Ding ding ding
It’s blue grass/ new grass
I am so thankful that Willie has somehow remained so healthy that something like this is even possible.
Willie nelson is my argument with my family on why I choose pot over prescriptions or liquor. This song will never leave my playlist. Not till the day I die. It's a part of me now.

Seen Billy play this song live was so good.

When Willie says "pick it Billy!" That shit gave me chills. Insane dude. I'm so happy for this duo ❤.
He actually called him Willie haha

WHAAAATT?! WILLIE USED TO BE A LADY?!
@@jeffreylebowski3216 Why do you think she grew her hair long 🤔
What an honor to pick trigger like that. The smile on Willie's face when Billy was playing was priceless.
I missed that Willie loaned Billy Trigger! Or should I say "allowed to touch"? He didn't play it on his lead solo, I think.
He’s not picking Trigger. He is touching the strings. Billy is picking a Martin I believe.
I didn't even see Trigger in this video.....
Gonna be down in history with this one🔥
Billie strings..please stop smoking..you're going to ruin that beautiful voice..

I've always wanted to play piano with Willie, but who am?! I'm really glad Billy got together with Willie and did this, it's so dang sweet. Happy 90th Birthday to the great Willie Nelson! That's some sweet pedal steel playing, too... very sweet.

Hello 👋 Rylie. How are you doing? Hope you are fine. I'm Mark Clifford and am from Denver Colorado. Where are you from? You seem like a real country girl
Well his Sis' Bobbie is no longer with us. THAT GAL HELD IT DOWN ON THE PIANO.
From being at his first open mic night at the Hayloft in Traverse City to seeing him sing with Willie. What a journey Billy is on so happy for his success!
I remember seeing him busk in Traverse and then saw him at Founders here in Grand Rapids before seeing him at a few different regional bluegrass festivals. He’s the best - I’m so happy for him!
this entire track is amazing but I TRULY GASPED WHEN WILLIE STARTED HIS VERSE, HIS VOICE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ INCREDIBLE
Autotune is wonderful technology.
@@msheridan4828 da heck is your problem, willie is almost 90 🤦♂
Willie sounded like a country chipmunk 🐿️ Fun song anyway.
Need version without Willie.
Just saying...🤠
Sounded awesome, Billy!! What a treat!! Singing with Willie Nelson is a total honor to me. He's the legend of our time, living and looking happy as he is, it is so nice to see him singing again!!
Willie is just bulletproof. How TH does he still sound that good on vocals. And Billy Strings out here restoring my faith in Country music.
Bluegrass
This is excellent. I've lived in California my entire life and found most friends go Cali sober by 30. The central coast seems to have a slight twist as they add beer in moderation. This song and a joint made my morning!
I lived in Paso Robles until hard times hit...moved back to Georgia.
👍
@@JusticeAlways Did you take the midnight train?
A little crossfading does the head right
@unkorichie2029 You sir are correct:)
Happy Birthday WILLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll be humming this tune all weekend. Great job boys !!
Hello 👋 Dear. How are you doing? Hope you are fine.
It’s a shame that more folks don’t know about this stuff. Musical geniuses. So good!
Thanks for your support❤❤❤❤
My 13 year old nephew was lamenting his friends don't listen to "old country." So I played him some Molly Tuttle, Billy Strings, Marcus King and Tommy Emmanuel.

If this isn't the best duet I've heard in years! Willie still has it! and Billy is one of the best singer/musician of all times! What a song too! I would have a completed bucket list if I were to be in the same room as those two, playing and singing until the cows come home!!!! Lovely!!!!
That Tune is going to blow up...for both of them!!
"Some went straight, and some went straight to jail" might be one of the hardest lines Willie's ever sang 😤
Wow!!! That is how you know that you made it to the big league. Congrats Billy Strings
If this don't hit #1 on more than one chart, the system is rigged. I grew up around some very fine musicians and this is about the best I've heard. On endless loop and smiling all the time.
Are you suggesting that something can be rigged? Better be careful
This is a very very good song. But we all know it ain't going to be a number 1. Won't ever get played on main stream radio. But who cares great song
@@RustyManisduckman Its 2023 radio is dead hell been dead for the past fifteen years. It's simply not relevant.
I cud care way less what pop singles top ten or 1 or 100
@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933 I wouldn't say it's dead but I agree it's pretty irrelevant at this point.
4:20 length of song ❤
Master Class
It is so touching how you celebrate people, and share those opportunities for all to see
Thank you, and to all who help make it possible
Just love the fact that the originals that really made the change in music find themselves playing with Billy. Keep it up Billy, you are and will make the next explosion in the world of music! I love the sounds you find and expression of them in the music you make. Please don't ever stop the world needs you
Just wanted to add wonder if you got any ideas of playing with Claypool
He's already played with most of the top tier Jam bands. I would imagine he will run across Les in that scene eventually.
Could you imagine what that would sound like? It'd be off the freaking train. Hair standing on ends just thinking about it.
He has jammed with Les
@@ZacTexC do you have a date that I might check out. Would love to get it
Willie Nelson has performed music in nine different decades! He started in a band and wrote his first hit songs in the mid-1940s when he was 12 years old.
You may be cool, but you’ll never be Billy Strings ripping a solo while smoking a joint, in a song with Willie Nelson cool.
pPp~~~
Haillllll yyyeaahhhhh!!!!!
Word.
fair enough......but i am cool enough to enjoy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can dream
I bet Billy is still pinching himself. Totally a well deserved honor to have an icon like Willie Nelson back HIM up! Congrats, Billy and Willie on an amazing track!
Hello Masha 👋 how are you ??
It is now October 12 of 2024, and Billy has the number one album on the country charts, the bluegrass charts, and a couple different places, he has become one of the most popular musicians in the world. But I predicted that two years ago, and nobody believed me. Billy Strings is going straight to the top. And he is the hardest working one , in my opinion.
New age legend sings with an old outlaw legend. This is badass!!! Love it!!
Willie and Billy , it was ment to be. I hope more collaborations are on the way!❤killer solo, willies smile of approval.
billy is what music needs.
That was great. Happy Birthday, Willie!
You’ve made it now Billy, a duet with Willie seals the deal very nice.
My daddy and i would roll down the road delivering loads listening to Willy and the boys.... Bless you all forever and ever... i love you Willy and Billy... a tip of the hat to simpler times and the goodness of the folks of the land...
So glad to see this.. saw Willie in Charleston WV when I was 18 drove 2 hours he put on a free concert. Had the best time of my life. Just turned 37 today and will never forget that day
The greats that are still alive all know by now, Billy and the boys are the not only the keepers of the musical flame, but the glue that binds people together.
That was so enjoyable! Not too much compares to Billy and Willy performing together!
That recording studio...this song....filled with God gifted musicians.
Whew!.....pure talent.
...you got the end right at least...pure talent...no superstition neccessary or present...
@@dericanslum1696 Correct. Hard work and love of the art. No need for spooks. Besides, some of these boys is atheists and proud of it. Don't need to shade them with religious nonsense.
A real treat - and love that Willie Nelson is still enjoying his music. Great set of musicians. Love to all from the UK
What a blessing Billy and his dad got to play and record with one of the greatest Willie Nelson . Awesome !
Super talent meets a 90 yr old legend that can still sing at a recording level. Wow.
This song is such a big deal. If not to the world, then to me.
Can't wait to see Billy for the first time this June.
Would be cool if billy got here and socialized with you folks.
Trending on RUclips? Maybe Billy will finally chart his first hit with country radio
This feels like it was written for me. Released the day I checked out of rehab! Positivity. Thanks!
Willie is still here. Count your blessings...
Better play it at Willie's 90th!
How can this not have millions of views already?! Is brilliant. Seeing and hearing Willie, Billy's voice and the picking, the slide, the fiddle,all of it just off the hook. 🔥. Got me feeling good
It’s got well over a million views at this point in early July ‘23.
What a blessing for Billy; having the opportunity to sing with the greatest musician still living today❣️I love this song, and Willie❣️❣️🙌💜🎉🥳😘
What a collab! Wow. So happy for billy, he’s a protege in the genre and it’s so cool to see him get to play one with the legend himself
