Billy Strings ft Anders Beck - The Ballad of Curtis Loew [Lynyrd Skynyrd cover]

[@GlendaGriffin-do1du]

Still think this is the best band I've heard in a long time!!! Keep on playing!!

[@MrJamesSantiago]

I can't say that Billy Strings is a finer picker than Curt... so I conclude that Billy IS Curtis... rock on Curtis...rock on... 🙏🔥

[@adamh3765]

Wow! I was just wondering if Billy had ever covered this gem by Lynyrd Skynyrd

[@zyonsdream]

Hands down my favorite skynard song played by my favorite bluegrass singer... why isn’t this on a record???

Of course Billy is killer in everything he does, but we also need to mention his band, they know what they're doing as well !! I love these guys!!

Ronnie van zant. He didn't spell it the same as the late great townes van zandt

I was just a bit older than Billy when this came out. Now I'm a senior. Where did the years go...?

[@flouisbailey]

Yes, Brother, we are still here and another generation gets to hear great music with the respect it deserved and deserves into the future.

[@cstar44b91]

Definitely one of the best versions ever!!! Naturally... it's Billy😏

[@user-cs3zs6jn1d]

Best cover of this song I think I've ever heard. My favorite skynard song also. Suggest playing on repeat

Brought a damn tear to this Hillbillys eye..

I think they are cutting grass and the pollens bad but Curtis Lowe was the finest picker to ever sing The Blues

[@spencertherren6806]

Absolutely no doubt.

[@jeffreygreene2695]

This is quite simply the very best cover of this song I've ever heard!

[@golfingfool777]

This is an outstanding cover like so many of Billy's covers. I would love to see Billy make an album of some of his favorite cover songs. Some Skynard, Townes VanZandt, Blaze Foley, Alman Brothers, Keith Whitley, Johnny Winter and Pink Floyd would all be great in my mind.

[@lynnnoel9858]

Thank you Billy and guys, ya'll are just the best, that was just magical...

[@richardapsassin8554]

The greatest song ever recorded on the planet especially when Ronnie sang it

[@joeoconnell732]

Ronnie would Approve

[@colecovington9804]

He wouldn't approve of you being a jerk to strangers who actually know better than you though. Educate yourself before attempting to correct others. (For reference Joe here corrected someone's comment that said Skynard and told them that it was actually Skynyrd and when I corrected him explaining that both spellings were used he told me to go do my homework. Well I had already done it and Skynard was in fact an early spelling of the band name.) #JerkJoe2021

[@angeltiniguar2265]

Didnt have much

[@jd-rv2cz]

pretty sure the singer missed his cue after the dobro solo and the mandolin just decided screw it I'm gonna get some in too. It was still seamless and that's the beauty of live performance. The spontaneity of humans making music together. This over engineered/produced cookie cutter radio BS today is NOT real music. I don't care who doesn't like it either. Until you put in YEARS perfecting your craft instead of fixing hours worth of mistakes on your iPad, Idgaf what you have to say.

[@ConstanceWhenever]

I like the Clayton Delaney version better.
