[@kishintuchis7076]

THIS GREAT HIGH BARITONE 3 PART HARMONY SONG WAS WRITTEN BY CARTER STANLEY , AND FIRST RECORDED BY THE STANLEY BROS , WITH PEE WEE LAMBERT SINGING THE HIGH BARITONE PART . AS FAR AS I KNOW MONROE NEVER SANG THIS SONG AND DID NOT RECORD IT .CARTER STANLEYWAS A BLUEGRASS BOY FOR A SHORT WHILE , AND RALPH FILLED IN ON BANJO SEVERAL TIMES BUT NEVER WAS A BLUEGRASS BOY. THERE IS TALK THAT MONROE OFFERED TO FORM A NEW GROUP WITH THEM AND CALL IT ' BILL MONROE AND THE STANLEY BROTHERS " . NOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING BEYOND WONDERFUL .

[@Texan1939]

Oh!! that fiddle. . . .

[@johnallison7358]

With songs and players like this Bluegrass will never die.

[@TheBamaKid1962]

It never will anyway, it will always train other pickers in all genres

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Can you imagine Yngwie Malmsteen and Ritchie Blackmore up singing and playing together. Tells ya something about that type of music. I’m sure Bill Monroe and Roy Acuff had egos but music was first.

[@marynadononeill]

We're watching something very special here. The already gifted and talented Billy is respectful and observant. Because he is a genius, he absorbs all the built up legacy this legendary band like a sponge. Beautiful!

[@njgl2010]

You ain’t kiddin!

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

So big whoop,I slept at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[@daleharris4282]

The new face of bluegrass!! Billy will go on to be one of the very best!! The way Del looks at him tells me everything!!!!

[@ojadkins]

Forget the cow bell. Gimme more Billy Strings! I'll tell you this young man is in pretty high cotton here with Del! Live your life Billy I"m proud of you son!

[@daleharris4282]

Del's highs touch the soul!!!

[@metacamman121]

Truer words have never been spoken.

[@ChristinaFromYoutube]

The way Del smiles at Billy really makes me happy! He seems so relieved the music wont die

[@mountaintyme2000]

Well, damn. This is great. Now this is a tribute to Carter and Ralph. The genius of Carter Stanley's songwriting should never be underestimated.

[@normamartin8755]

Those guys are as proud of him as if he is all their son

[@rowdyhoo]

Young, old, traditional, stylish...no matter, great music transcends all.

[@normamartin8755]

He always gives respect and gets respect from whoever he is playing with. Love this guy!

[@1cowboyftw]

Don't believe it could get much better then this. So awesome !!!

[@lutherbstokes9269]

Billy has so much respect for the greats who came before him . NUFF SAID !!

[@gr8fullstar]

Billy is bad I love ❤️ how Del can tell he is the next big thing 😍

[@keithhughes7502]

You do not get any better than that 😊

[@elliotportner8020]

Billy with Del make a special couple of beautiful harmony and music for us all

[@shirleysheppard3483]

Billy Strings is appealing to all ages and bringing bluegrass to the front again. Carter Stanley would be proud of how he delivered his great song.

[@alternativeavenues7664]

I wonder what Del felt like meeting his spiritual successor the first time he played with Billy.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Quite Brilliant and very very wonderful to see and listen too. Thank you so much all of you. But, a special thanks to Billy strings too ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎵

[@edwardfuchs4616]

Watch Del at the end frames with Strings. Del is the best there is.

[@gillianesquilant4091]

Just Gorgeous!

[@elliotportner8020]

Strings and Dell are a great combination but you’d expect that from two great artists in bluegrass heaven

[@elliotportner8020]

Billy is growing beautifully for a young guy

[@shirleyprestage5402]

He sends cold chills on me love this

[@fillionmusic]

[@mikellewelyn7980]

Fiddle solo was incredible Beautiful double stops

[@Texan1939]

[@MR-hr5yh]

I sit here alone on the banks of the river The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness I sit here alone too lonesome to cry Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry The woman I love she left me this morning With no one to love or kiss me goodnight We met there one night by the banks of the river Sat there holding hands and making our vows Swore we’d never part and be happy together But a new love she’s found she’s gone from me now

[@spacelemur7955]

The fiddle duet played by the sole fiddler was little short of awesome.

[@elgenacovington4753]

This Bluegrass band is the greatest Rob on the banjo is not a plunk, plunk, it is played so differently. G😂reat harmony. Good job!

[@createlovehappy]

Love those harmonies.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Watching this for first time on a recommendation of “less than face prod”. They really know their Billy Strings. Thanks guys. Great channel never had a link to a recommendation before thanks.🤙🤙

[@LessThanFaceProductions1]

Thanks for watching!

[@randalbladel2817]

Billy knows, plays, and appreciates music from Bill and Doc all the way to Tool and Umphrey McGee. Can’t say my tastes run that wide, but I’m glad his do.

[@earlcehrs2819]

That is why they call me hillbilly hammer.

[@1967Rev]

beautiful thank you xx

[@russellscarbury6029]

As a river man myself, I can truly appreciate this song.

[@mikestoops8760]

Is awesome

[@HifromJulie]

Jason “the crusher” Carter! 🤯

[@kelseydelrio8636]

Just amazing❤️

[@JohnDuncanfiddler]

Jason Carter!!

[@proutdoors2623]

Id imagine ole carter would be proud.

[@dustbat]

Boy is so good. Great banjo.🦇

[@lannyfox271]

Jason’s fiddling is sweet!

[@KyOte13]

Man that bluegrass high tenor is just something ELSE. Never heard a vocal cut like that, and it’s hits so hard. I remember the first time I heard Ralph Stanley sing, it about knocked me off my chair.

[@genevagibbs1278]

You guys are good together

[@kensteel9872]

Beautiful

[@venician2face]

The music of heaven, for us hillbillies. Billy Strings and those like him are the future of Bluegrass music as the old guard, like Del, fade away.

[@dllavid]

Love that grin on Billy’s face …. He been dreaming of that moment a looooong time

[@shalps9681]

wish that billy didn't hog the mic and instead let those crispy Del McCoury vocals come through a bit more.

[@elgenacovington4753]

Don't get any better

[@kyledrummond9750]

Dels highs on this are amazing. Tremendous from all three men

[@BrianBrooks-v2d]

Billy is an old soul, Best picker of our day!!

[@davidhuttner275]

To become the best, you've got to imitate the best. Billy's doin' it.

[@ngzcaz]

Love the way they jockey for position when it's their turn...

[@sarahhood4423]

Trump stopped his psych meds now we all suffer

[@silentweaponsquietwars1703]

Delusional! Trump was controlled by the same people controlling Idiot Biden!

[@davidappleby7214]

[@winstonrocco1981]
