Billy Strings - Leadfoot (Official Music Video)

[@mstuckey311]

This video has Primus vibes written all over it.

[@slayinbass2396]

I didn't connect those dots, but yeah it does. Billy is a big Primus fan so it makes sense.

[@kapnkrunchy9168]

Primus Sucks!

[@CideFX]

My first thought too, Wynona's Big Brown with the make-up but all the camera angles scream Primus.

[@djmike0699]

See them next weekend! Bummed I’m not in state college. Only 2.5 hrs from me 😔

What did he end up thinking of Billy Strings?

[@jimrebr]

@@jakesegdirb He loves Billy now, he got t-shirts for both of us, 2 different ones for me and one for himself. I knew he would love Billy Strings! The whole day was fantastic, Willie Nelson was great, Dylan had a tight band& Billy said he usually does several dates on the Outlaw tour every year, but he could only do one Outlaw show this year and we were there for it. We are so lucky and blessed to see Billy’s only show!!!

My first car was a 70 Chevelle. I was 16 years old and all the boys in my neighborhood were so mad that our neighbor sold the car to me. I loved that car.

[@plumbthumbs9584]

Hope you still have it!

[@ITCHYFRENULUM]

I had a 79 Vette. Stick shift. Turd brown paint with sparkles in it tho. That chevette went to so many concerts (Nirvana, Woodstock 99). 200% miss that car. Would get out of class and like 4 people hotboxing in it. Early 90s were fuckin wild

[@crbradbury8282]

Nice bro!!!!!

[@BerzerkBlaze]

@@ITCHYFRENULUMsounds like a blast

[@felixmarvin1199]

My grandma had a 1966 Chevelle that I would borrow when I came to visit. I got a speeding ticket for doing 75 mph in a 35 mph zone on my way out of town. My family knew about it immediately because 3 of my aunts were together when they heard my ID called in over the scanner. They said that I had inherited my other grandmother's lead foot. She died before I was born but she had a reputation for driving like a maniac. But they didn't call me lead foot, they called me double mint because I was doing more than double the speed limit.

I am a bluegrass guy for the 61 years God has put me on this earth.I despise what 'country music' has become in my lifetime.I have a good friend who dj's a local bluegrass radio show and he tirned me onto billy when he was just a kid.weve never looked back.He also took my kid who loved boy bands and then metal into a place where we agree.iay never know how but THANKS BILLY.

[@joaddonnelly8228]

This is definitely proof the Billy is living the dream….and from what I can tell he has damn sure earned it! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a new badass car song. This guy buys a badass big block Chevelle & promptly writes a badass song in its honor. Maybe this could be a series of cool car songs. He could pull out the 502 and drop in a 572….and write a new song. Then pull out the 572 & drop in a 632….and write a new song. The possibilities are endless with this theme! 😂

[@sethxmurphy]

I think this would make the cars a tax write off, so it'd be smart business too

[@shtevenshtein]

Not enough car songs that aren't about truckin'.... He did a whole set of Train songs, would be good to see him add more to the canon of "cartrips/driving" songs....

[@SpokenBroke]

When I was 15 in Arkansas my mother got a Maxima. I thought it was lame until I finally got to drive it. Wow, it was fun. It wasn't long before my mom had it in the shop for "a noise". The mechanic told her there was only one motor mount that wasn't snapped, when you revved it the whole engine would raise up. I got an old yellow Ford and dropped a 390 in it and turned it into a sleeper. Had to carry spare oil in the back. We'd drive 90 miles an hour to various fishing holes with an aluminum boat leaning up over the tailgate and slam Jaeger while bass fishing in 100 degree heat. That old truck was charmed, never got a ticket in it.

[@thisguy5582]

Got a similar story except it was a 95 chevy. Best truck I've ever had. Flipped it on the way back from the lake trying to not hit a dog lol Got my first speeding ticket the first week I got my new car. Miss that old girl

I used to busk with an American busker called Lightfoot in the Paris Metro back in the 80's, he sang and played a huge stand up bass, songs like "lady is a tramp" and wore a top hat. He got arrested in Germany once, and the police could not understand why he had no first and last name on his passport, just Lightfoot, one word. So the Seagent at Berlin station asked him to sing a song, before letting leave. I still wonder today where Lightfoot got to, I miss him, and the memories will never fade.
