Bluegrass players are some of the absolute most talented musicians on the planet. SO good.

It's honestly some of the most difficult music I've ever tried to play. Incredibly talented.

He's probably the top bluegrass picker around today. He was taught by his dad when he was a small child then got into metal as a teen, then went back to bluegrass. He is an amazing talent. Won a Grammy in 2021.

[@jamesoliver6625]

He good, but he's nowhere near the top bluegrass picker. There are LOTS of bluegrass guitarists that stand right beside him and a lot of them are multi instrumentalists. Grammy awards don't mean much to bluegrass musicians. The IBMA carries much more prestige.

[@Teresa7087]

@James Oliver That's just your opinion and I'm allowed to have mine. Grammies don't mean anything to bluegrass musicians? Lol.

[@jamesoliver6625]

@@Teresa7087 I've never seen the winning of a Grammy cited as a signal accomplishment for a bluegrass musician. Years from now he will be introduced as 2022 IBMA Entertainer of the Year (but not guitar player of the year for 2022).

Billy Strings, along with others like Sierra Hull and Becky Buller, are really bringing great bluegrass to a new generation!

[@CorneiliusLibowitz]

How bout Molly Tuttle...

[@TheColdrush22]

I saw Sierra Hull live in 2018 on a whim. I had no idea who she was, but an advert said she was great at mandolin. She blew my big fat mind.

[@snwbrdbum14]

Billy is on that New Grass game. Dude was like, "Yeah, I'm gonna play that Fast Grass, but I'm gonna bring a black-metal chord progression to it." Yeah, there's others who bring strong, traditional music to the stage, but Billy is the tip of the spear for evolution of the genre. This is exactly the man we want carrying Doc Watson's torch going into the future.

[@rob6362]

This chick needs to go dance at a billy show. She’d have a f’in blast

[@dagmar.6954]

I just discovered Billy Strings last year. I really enjoy his bluegrass country style. He is a very good guitarist. Love the instruments that his touring band uses banjo, upright bass & mandolin. The first song I heard was "Turmoil & Tinfoil". Also liked "Meet Me At The Creek", "Dust In A Baggie" & "Watch It Fall". I recently saw a live performance on TV with Billy & his dad playing guitar together on stage that was really good.

[@hlawrencepowell]

He lived the subject matter.

[@MamawT65]

He actually performed this song at the Grand Ole Opry! Great reaction!

[@janetwilson595]

New Grass! Billy Strings is great. He wrote this because one of his friends was in jail for drugs. Saw him in 2020 before covid.

[@scottarmstrong2641]

Turmoil and Tinfoil is my favorite of his. If you want more bluegrass The steel drivers are Chris Stapleton former band, or Union Station.

[@CajunMomma]

Just love the different flavors and cultures in America. Billy Strings has unmatched talent. People go through real stuff. Let it be a warning to not go that route

[@billparrish4385]

Billy is a force of nature! He takes traditional bluegrass he learned growing up, playing with his daddy Terry Barber, and gives it some sweet modern licks! The accompanists in this video are OK, but to me the better version of the song is when Billy and his band sang it at the Opry (video on YT). Couple other great Billy songs are 'Turmoil and Tinfoil' and 'Meet Me at the Creek' (best videos for these, for arrangement and performance, on the Music City Roots channel).

[@jahrolo]

Billy Strings & Marcus King "Summertime" would be a great song for this cold months of the year :) I´d also recommend Jesse Stewart "Grow old" if you like music like this, especially if you enjoy the mandoline :)

[@TomG626]

This for certain!!

[@mamaflush9945]

Yes now you have officially crossed over into bluegrass. Billy Strings along with some other artists have set the bluegrass industry on fire, once again, This is female bluegrass artist that is also a master-picker "Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway - Dooley's Farm (Live at the Station Inn)" Great Reaction

[@johndoe-gt6gp]

Molly and Billy were roommates when they both first moved to Nashville. I don’t know if they were an item, but can you imagine the finger picking going on around that house?

[@automatichiatus8475]

Love Billy!!! More please! If I remember right, Billy had his earrings pulled out in a mosh pit of a punk concert- I'd recommend checking out Summertime with Marcus King and Billy, and also Into The Mire by Billy.

[@barbaralee6410]

Away From the Mire

Billy Strings is a phenomenal musician. He is an expert in Bluegrass music. His dad is great too. Watch the video Family Strings. Billy and his Dad Terry singing together.

[@scrappy8ball]

You should watch the version where it looks like he is in someone's basement just singing this and playing guitar himself while everyone stands around watching.

[@ryanpleiss]

Listen to Sierra Ferrell. She is a combo of country, bluegrass, Calypso, and Latin music. Give “In Dreams, Bells of Every Chapel, Seas, or Jeremiah.” One of the most gifted, unique voices out there.

[@markyates1116]

Billy Strings is a badass

[@cjsmith8319]

I’ve been playing guitar and singing for 25 years. In my experience, Billy’s talent is something that’s insurmountable. Only a select few are blessed with the chops that he has. BMFS is an absolute madman.

[@RyneMurray23]

I saw billy live last year and he and his band were absolutely fantastic. This song is about a guy he knew, and if you didn't know that you might think he was on something haha. He isn't on meth haha. 😂👍🏼

[@5051975terry]

If you want bluegrass listen to Allison krauss & union station. You will be amazed. I recommend ghost in this house live, The boy who wouldn’t hoe corn live And Jacob’s dream. Allison is a child prodigy joining union station at 12 and started recording at 14 years old as a vocalist and fiddle player. They’re amazing!!

[@karlfowler3742]

Love this version, the whole set is fire. Dealing Despair from the same session is also amazing. If you liked Billy, check more of him out. This song is a true story. Billy grew up around drugs and one of his got caught with the dust and he was like, “Coulda been me.” Away from the Mire, Turmoil and Tinfoil. Enjoy!

Saw him for the first time several years ago he was around 19 or twenty. He was touring with Don Julian who is a great mandolin player. It was at a Bluegrass festival in South Carolina. We knew when he played he would go places. A lot of bands there had him play with them!

[@GeorgieKid]

She NAILED it right at the end and didn’t even know it❤ BILLY IS THE GOAT

[@conspiracyathome2416]

Always reminds me of my family when I hear bluegrass. Sat through alot of playing sessions. Never for anything more than it was just a part of your life and just what you did. Family has always been just able to play any instrument. I didn't think it was anything special till I moved away and saw that it wasn't normal in most families. I just did what my family did. Just picked up the guitar and found it pretty easy or natural. Then it was Bass next was the mandolin and then banjo then harmonica. Mandolin is always fun to me though. Banjo for some reason I found to be the more difficult to learn but my grandpa excelled at it. None of us ever learned to read music or had lessons. There are alot of people like Billy Strings out there. You won't ever hear them though cause they never took it as something that could be capitalized on. They just like to play.

[@Derrell911]

I love your reaction...u are so beautiful.

[@Lougaru]

Another great video of him is with Tommy Emmanuel playing Guitar Boogie.

[@hillbillyhippie4235]

Nice job young lady, Carolina Chocolate Drops are a very good Bluegrass/ Folk band, Leaving Eden via liveset is very good and more laid back, the lady on the cello is awesome along with the other musicians and Rhiannon's voice is worth a listen to, I think you would be pleasantly surprised

[@janetwilson595]

He's from Michigan and now lives in Nashville. He's constantly on tour with three great musicians, mandolin, stand up bass and banjo along with Billy's guitar. I second a reaction to Billy Strings and Marcus King doing Summertime. Billy's voice is beautiful in that video.

I am pure Appalachia. I learned banjo very young. We meet in the hills and have mini festivals in peoples barns. There will be separate little jam sessions outside or even in peoples vans. Drinking...smoking darn fine homegrown.We call it outlaw bluegrass. We country folk have seen our share of opioids and other drugs..and I lost a few friends to it.

[@billparrish4385]

Billy says this was based on a true story: Two of his friends in Michigan, the one with a car had given the other a ride, and the passenger (unknown to the driver) had an empty baggie fall out of his pocket. Some way or how, the police later had the driver in a stop, found the baggie, and the residue of dust it had tested positive for the first substance mentioned in the lyrics. The sentence wasn't 20, but pretty excessive given the amount.

[@dkroyley]

You are here!!! Welcome to the chat.

[@allmanjim7231]

You’re the first person I’ve seen do a reaction to Billy Strings! Thank You!!! I found him 7-8 years ago and he is great! Bluegrass is the music of the hills, I’m from Kentucky and it’s part of our culture so dig in. Flat pick’en that guitar like cousin Eddie.

Yes you entered the 4th dimension of blazing fast picking in the world of bluegrass and Billy Strings stands on top in that world. Did you know that CHris Stapleton started out in a bluegrass band called the Steel drivers? Look for Blue Side of the Mountain. It's Chris at his best with fantastic 3 part harmony. Instrumentally the sound is driven by Tammy's amazing fiddle playing,

About a year ago, Billy's tour bus, along with a truck pulled up to his former Elementary school in Northern Michigan. He gave a brand new guitar to every kid at the school.

[@robertcherman]

The music industry in general is filled with a lot of people that are hooked on rugs. Bluegrass back in the day, sang about moonshine (mountain dew), and just about anything else. Even Kenny Rogers has a song that starts out, when I get high I can't leave the girls alone. Way back in the day, musicians had two sets of the same songs, with different lyrics. Clean lyrics for the early crowd and dirty lyrics for the after crowd, midnight to 4 am. I know of only one song from that era, that ever made it to recording, Try both these songs, in one video to show the contrast, of what music used to be like. Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker - Think Twice & Jackie Wilson and LaVern Baker - Think Twice Version X In the version x, the sing about cocaine, and eating ice cream. Not ice cream, something else. This is more soul music than anything and is nowhere near country.

[@thorzzz1z]

Just sub'ed to you cause you love some Billy Strings like I do. He is the best musician to come along in 30 years

The guitarist, Brian Sutton - is perhaps the best guitarist alive today. The fiddler (Michael Cleveland) is blind and deaf in of one ear from birth. These players are a subset of many players called 'Bela Flec and My Bluegrass Heart'. They will absolutely blow you away... especially Sierra the mandolinist and her husband Justin Moses. Awwww heck THEY'RE ALL MASTERS and they are all multi-instrumentalists by the way.
