This is so Fleck I can't Bela-ieve it

[@lucianofernandes-dev]

lol😁

[@selimcansakar8251]

Was thinking the same LOL

[@W.O.P.R]

Even the hair! 😆 Love it though. On purpose? I think YES

[@TheLucille55]

Not Wong... Hum... Not wrong.

[@jaimusjaimison5506]

Flecktones shining through fo sho, laying the musical brick pathway all those years ago. 🙏

[@thepotato513]

Eddie Barbash is simply too powerful. The man can't be stopped

[@DannySullivanMusic]

LOL!

[@youtubecommentsectiondebates]

Cory Wong and Billy Strings are a duo that need to collaborate more often. Love them both.

[@jonathanmarkt5328]

That gear shift at 3:16 would hit hard in concert. So awesome

[@davidclinton4350]

Great song! Very reminiscent of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

[@andrewholland21]

Big Country Road Trip

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

It really does 👍👌

[@Bobby12many]

This is somewhere between Bela Fleck and the Yellowjackets...... and it rules.

[@philiphall9609]

Thats what i came to say.

[@natty7412]

i was thinking the exact same thing haha

[@zacharybuday9991]

This is truly a ride. From packing your things, to getting in the car. The excitement of the road, cops catching speeding cars, and stops for snacks; before gettting back on the road to finish your trip.

[@andrewholland21]

Cory wong and the Wongtones

[@markberry7610]

Outro of the year. Even without the sneeze. This whole track is smooooooooth.

[@kevongordon2675]

Hell yeaa to Sunny’s bass intro abs props to having Cody Fry in on this epic track!

[@venomwhisper3783]

Was wondering why that guitar in the back looked familiar! GOATS all around

[@tjwright]

Sweet bass playing, and he's playing a right handed bass left handed, not even strung lefty!

[@walzwalzwalz]

@@tjwright Sonny is a studio legend. If a specific bass had the right sound for a session he needed to be able to play it then and there, lefty or not! Just another tool for a master. I’m in awe

[@sammikinsderp]

Like bluegrass folk jazz. I can't get enough. I need a lot more of this in my life. Oh, my goodness.

[@ctboone1]

Check out the song Big Country by Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. You might enjoy that too.

[@euaggelion03]

Billy's postlude sneeze was perfection...

[@Rondo2ooo]

I wanna listen this stuff on the radio. Give these young musicians the support they deserve.

[@russellzauner]

ra-di....o?

[@bassist789]

@@russellzauner you best believe they're getting that support (not enough, but no musician has enough)!

[@user-ox5kh3fy8g]

Why do you need to listen to it on the radio?

[@Rondo2ooo]

@@user-ox5kh3fy8g bc mainstream should be better again...only bc of that

[@user-ox5kh3fy8g]

@@Rondo2oooWhat you mean to say is that main stream should be what you want, not what consensus dictates. Why not just enjoy it yourself, subjectively, and let others do the same? The mode of thinking that you are in blossoms to authoritarianism.

[@Mondogolfer]

Love it. Putting this in playlist right near “Big Country” from Béla and the Flecktones.

[@iPig]

Billy Strings and Vulf/Cory are a couple of my favorite contemporary artists. I've wondered what this combo would sound like. This is so much better than anything I imagined.

[@NicoBellisarioMusic]

cool vibes...wanted to see Cory tonight...didn't happen, hopefully next time!

[@DannySullivanMusic]

Billy was especially in the zone here. What a great song!

[@CoachDave12]

So much damn talent in that room. Hard to pick one part out but when Cory takes his first solo it’s beautiful.

[@JaredNorton]

1:40 broooo

[@shaydenmusic]

Sounds like Nashville And Minneapolis made a Pat Metheny baby.

[@migueesteve]

That used to be a Flecktone…

[@johnlopez3620]

Lmfao dead ass

[@Baby-dl8yp]

That’s the best comment

[@AlbatraozProductions]

Cody Fry just casually jamming out in the background! Love it! :D

[@CTJM]

The Flecktones influence is strong here. I'm hearing a Stomping Grounds vibe. Really nice. =)

[@jodiepanudju]

Bela Fleck and the Flecktones vibe!

[@BuzzPark1]

Never in a million years would I have expected this collab. My favorite bluegrass guitarist and the Wongmaster. Loved it loved it loved it!

[@aryehhaller]

Anyone else imagining some animated group of animals taking a road trip rn?😂 Hats off this song is awesome!

[@Baby-dl8yp]

Yes!

[@ToadyWoods]

😊 Smiles and smiles.

[@BroChaos]

cory! billy! and kenan thompson on bass!? LOVE IT!

[@Chopp333r]

Beautiful! I already knew of Billy Strings but just discovered Cory Wong tonight in his collab with Tim Henson and Plini which is what led me here and I’m glad I found this because I’ve been listening to Bluegrass all day after my Grandpa passed this morning and i think he would have really liked this arrangement!

[@guisteh11]

Rest in peace, Chopp333rs Grandpa.

[@Chopp333r]

@@guisteh11 hey thanks! I believe he’s playing and singing the sweetest bluegrass now!

[@Bcasey11]

i’m sorry for your loss

[@Chopp333r]

@@Bcasey11 thanks for the kind words… just laid him to rest today… tough day but turned into a family reunion and all the uncles and cousins were playing guitars out on the patio afterward so it was a proper get together

[@haakonkrey8489]

Best thing in the history of the world.

[@russellives6069]

So much talent in one room. No one trying to show off, just playing for the song. I’d love to have a 1/100th the talent of any one of them.

[@DropD1123]

Wow - saw the title and never clicked so fast! So many great young artists out there right now, and Cory seems to be collaborating with all of them. Would love to hear a Wong/Lawrence collaboration too if it hasn't happened yet!

[@bradoliver9324]

This is yakkety sax for people with an ounce of chill.

[@innerspacesurfer]

Cory Wong has the coolest friends.

[@rishabhbose29]

Amazing Music as always from Cory and the boys. I wish Billy's guitar was a little up in the overall Mix . It wasn't cutting through enough.

[@mailliw2698]

Yeah I'm with you there

[@acidplusbaseminush2o]

I thought the same.

[@tissuepaper9962]

Less that billy wasn't there and more that the sax was too forward IMO.

[@stephenjohnson6157]

I couldn't agree more saxophone needs to be turned down a little bit bass guitar and Billy both need to go up a little bit and that should be good for starters.

[@frankbreen4206]

yes it was ok for the second solo, but in the first solo and the unison parts it was a little hard to hear. I think if he wasn't the guest it wouldn't bother me, but he is the feature player. Still loved it though.

[@Sam_Perman]

Cory Wong bluegrass album when?

[@beardown2489]

Thank you Cory. You are a bright spot in the world. I hope you and your people understand the appreciation of your fanbase

[@platypusmusic8843]

That last part reminded me of the late night rides home and the feeling of finally being there

[@russellzauner]

that's the added dash of 80's prime time sitcom themes

[@jkgrooves]

Such a Big Country

[@millerezra8]

Holy smokes! I was waiting for Billy to cut loose and damn he did!

[@foosiew]

I don't know....but the mood of this song is so positive and happy ..I am happy

[@johnnunn]

Whenever I come back to this.. I watch it 10 times.. a masterpiece!

[@leopoldleoleo]

That breakdown in the middle fucking rules

[@handsformaps3973]

Billy Strings is changing music. He plays everything with everyone

[@Esbenmad]

It is really magical that a string of 8th-notes can sound that great!

[@BassistThan]

Sonny! I remember you playing with Prince! Love you! Thank you for still being out there giving your bass!

[@bassplane]

Forget just sounding like the Flecktones, this is like an explicit ode to stomping grounds. Great stuff!

[@markl2804]

Wow, incredible track! I love the break at 3:16

[@Joe-bs9dj]

I Love how Cody is "singing" along!

[@DCronk-qc6sn]

All the things....superb.

[@sheriffjohnbird3179]

No wayyyy! Cory and the boys with Billy Strings?!! Killer mannnnnnn

[@GymBoss57]

This is the collab I didnt know I needed!!! SO GOOD!

[@DannySullivanMusic]

Couldn't agree more!

[@JochenVogel]

Pure joy. Mr. Barbash's tone and feel are what touches me the most. And in general: Talent overload.

[@LadySneff]

That part where he thoroughly blends with the electric guitar -- sends chills, sounds like ONE amazing instrument, but secretly it is two being played by amazing musicians.

[@willudallmusic]

I was gonna post about Eddie, incredible performance, but I mean, he's always brilliant 🙏🏻

[@salvadorymariaortolaytruji1048]

This is a “big country”. Sorry, I wanted to say “big song” 😉 You are doing cool things Sir. Wong. Keep doing!

[@phreakinpher]

Love how Cory is doing a quasi-lap guitar thing here with all the bends and slides. Sounds amazing!

[@Mrpsblobsoflowendmung]

[@mishterpreshident]

Absorbing and joyful. Everyone was in the moment, for all of the moments. The ending is serene. I am a drummer/bassist and had a great time jamming to this track, but even so, the magical moment was those quiet fading notes at the very end.
