Turn 70 soon. Does my heart good to see the young music scene today.....people like Billy, Avetts, Old Crowe, Jason Isbell, Tyler Childers and a lot more. I go to concerts a lot more now because these folks are real musicians

Mmmhmmm you have no idea

Billy and his band are nothing short of incredible

Oh yeah and I forgot to mention I got a play this summer with Billy strings

Billy seems unable to miss a note! And he's got a voice too! If I could play 25% as good as Billy Strings, I would be a happy man!

Fabulous. He opened up with this at a little festival in Pittsburgh years back. It was cold and raing sideways. Billy walked out on stage and threw a bunch of ponchos out to the crowd and then started jamming this song. It was fucking incredible.

I’ll be 73 soon & I’ve been lovin’ these new boys. I got my ticket for Tyler Childers at The Met in Philly in August. I didn’t make this concert to see Billy & the guys this time ‘round but I hope to see him some day. It’ll happen. Lol.

Yes dude! Jerry would have LOVED THIS!

You Still blow my mind. Thank You

This isn't even Jerry's tune. If I am not mistaken it is an old folk tune from England with artist unknown. Can you imagine the life that tune has had? It still brings goosebumps to those who hear it. What a gift the writer has given us. Can you imagine if he or she could know what a life it has had? Could you imagine the satisfaction that would come from authoring a tune like this?

This is my favorite version of this song my mom went to this show and immediately sent it to me

I played and sang this song at a party where some musicians I'd seen a bunch attended and played some songs too. Watched one of them enjoying and being moved by my singing and playing, was a neat moment I won't forget

strings, the king of covers. Honestly i dont know how someone rises to this level of popularity singing other people's music.

Much better version than the Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band

He apologized online to Jarrod for outing him for not smoking hippie lettuce. Well I’m with Jarrod. I don’t smoke that stuff either. I use edibles.

Is there anyone who is not yet enlightened who doesn’t know and believe with all their heart that Bob Weir is about to start a new band after Dead & Co that will include Billy Strings on lead guitar???? come on y’all this is the closest thing to Jerry Garcia of the world has ever seen

Billys voice is a lil young for this song....im not sayin its bad but its a different song bc of it

Ugh this frustrates me beyond belief. I have the maddest admiration for this band but the first concert I went to was just too persistent with affects, catered heavily on psychedelic tones. Overall just intensely aggressive. It was given no room to breath. Im not implying I dont want to avoid psychedelic accents, and sure dont want to expect from Billy, but id give my last testicle to hear this.
