I'm a 32 year old retired combat medic and my buddy was the rocker growing up. I'm finally good enough to jam and sing with him just barely. Every word means something to me. You guys absolutely created a hit. This fits my music taste far better than the other song with the modern big name country guy that Billy did. Been a fan of Billy since the first or second Blue Ox music festival he did. Saw the human standing in the food court and for the first time I think I was star struck, just out of technical ability alone. I had a thousand questions and none of them made any sense. I didn't understand music enough to get any answers that would be useful. So I just nodded from a distance. But you made an impact on me that day Billy. Thank you.

All the musicians kick butt but it is great to see Doug Jernigan still killing it!!!!

[@stephanhaeke589]

watched and enjoyed the band yesterday evening in Antwerpen Belgium. the best concert ever for me. if you should ever read this Billy, thanks for the emotions and the unforgettable evening. 2:30 hours of outstanding music for the price of 26€.

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.

The kid is talented. Got to see him and Willie play it last Sunday. Billy did a killer version of Whiskey River each night!

New age legend sings with an old outlaw legend. This is badass!!! Love it!!

[@WildernessJeff]

Amazing

[@TheTexasJimmy]

Being closer to Willie's age than Billy's -- and a hard partier in my youth -- this tune 'resonates,' as they say . . . :)
