I happened upon this in my feed this morning and clicked because Billy Gray is such a touching and beautiful ballad. It is hard for me not to think of Darcy Farrow when I hear this song. In general, I am a sucker for simple stripped down arrangements and this pushed all those buttons perfectly. The guitar accompaniment and the simple guitar lead fit the song so well. And the harmonies ! Wow, they are so beautifully tasteful… It sent a chill up my back when I heard the perfectly intoned and blended “he was looking for Bill Gray…” Pure musical magic. I love how great musicians make things look so easy. Thanks so much for recording this gem and putting it out into the ether for the world to enjoy.

[@TexasTom46]

Great cover!

[@ProjectRedfoot]

Such a good song

[@KorbyLenker]

It really is

[@ProjectRedfoot]

@@KorbyLenker I showed the original song to my dad & I told him it was my favorite by them. He asked why, and I must admit that is a good question... I said because it's just so sad and powerful.

[@KorbyLenker]

@@ProjectRedfoot Yeah man its a great story song. the last first is the best.

[@billdedrick1914]

wow Great job.. excellent.. That guitar sounds huge with big bottom end.. You are tuned down 1 full step it sounds. what guitar is that? It looks like an early Martin D18V? What year is it? What strings are you using? Flat pick and thickness?

[@KorbyLenker]

Thanks Bill. I think I answered your other questions on other posts but as to flat pick I use the Dunlop 2mm beveled edge. I've experimented with the $2 mandolin pick by I cant rememeber who but I lose too many of them to keep the habit.

[@RonsVideoKeepers]

Good stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pauldavis7962]

Nice job.

[@KorbyLenker]

thank ye pardner

[@robertmartin4456]

Korby, tasty video .Are you playing the same D_18 V that you used back in your Bellingham days?

[@KorbyLenker]

Indeed I am

[@sarawhitfield5415]

can't listen to this version without crying wonder if the tall man Blake wrote about was Juan Largo (Patrick Floyd Garret)

[@KorbyLenker]

Just read about Garret's colorful life. Thanks for that!

[@denydudzik5412]

[@Fork_does_stuff]

Great version but prefer Caleb Klauber and Reebs Willlms

[@KorbyLenker]

Glad they exist!

[@BlueBassBoss]
