Thank you Lower Standards for this. Not just for the upload, but for doing this at all. This is something that I wish someone would have done with so many other artists. You did good, kiddo.

My dad used to play this when we were kids. Even as a kid it would choke me up. Thank you for this

When I'd spend the night my granny always picked guitar with me at night, eventually I'd set mine down, she'd continue, and she played this too. Eventually I'd pretend I'd fell asleep, because although she was a good picker, she sounded like a long tailed cat in a roomful of rocking chair when she sang. Lol.

Can’t believe one man holds that much talent in everything he plays. Long live BMFS

Hey Billy I think you' are the best Guitarist that ever lived

Younger Billy tuning/riffing until it gets to sounding good to him. And then it sounds incredible to us. Somewhere up in heaven, the inimitable Mac Weisman has this vid on his playlist.

Idk what more you got, but I hope it's hours worth. This night is the best of Billy in my opinion.

I much prefer listening to just him & guitar than with the band tbh

Used to play this with my dad back in the 80’s/90’s at Texas bluegrass jams. Good memories.

If I had a bigger screen I could pretend Billy was sitting at my fireplace playing for the family... love it!

The day will come when there are no more videos coming. It will be a very sad day.

Hey mate. No offence, but, fuck off. Dont need that kinda negative energy thank you.

I grew up being teased by this song when I was growing up as a little boy back in the good old days when you could sleep with your doors unlocked and your windows wide open boy I miss those good old days and I grew up with a nickname Bubba

Fantastic stuff LS! If we are lucky you have some more of this gold still stashed.

My father’s favourite song. Maybe the favourite song of every child who grew up during the Depression years.

Such a beautiful picking ! He sounds like a gentleman. So rare nowadays. Greatings from France 🇫🇷

Does anyone else think it's ironic that a channel called "Lower Standards" would feature a video with Billy Strings playing and singing by a campfire?

He’s terrible player I only watch to count all his mistakes, my stomping foot is just irritation from the terrible noise coming out of that bango and my shaking hips well that’s just restlessness from that bad beat. Omg this is horrible better check out another one of these terrible vid’s of his …..god my ears hurt ……for more aaaaahhhhhh! THANKS BILLY YOU’RE AWESOME MAN!

Release the rest. Stop teasing.
