This group of dudes jamming in a basement sounds 1000 times better than 99.9% of any music played on the radio nowadays lol. Love these guys!

[@colinmcelroy8096]

Unfinished basement jam seshes are peak musical experiences

[@shamus240]

Absolutely! Sounds finished and unrefined and better than anything on the radio.

[@amanwithtacos7514]

That's basement looks finished

[@matthewgood1873]

This is how music is made. Not in a damn studio it's with buddies in a basement

[@JaraYT]

I like how every solo is someone running in the woods on a backroad path that only they know.

[@peachy3143]

How can a bloke from the east of England who’s 50 years of age who’s loved heavy metal for 40 years be absolutely in love with this guy and this music … absolutely in awe of this man

[@realKratos667]

I know exactly what you mean.

[@tjbokarat737]

That bloke knows good music, cheers from America mate

[@peachy3143]

@@tjbokarat737 absolutely amazing .. the tightest band on earth .. he is in my eyes the greatest musician and singer of his generation… that pink Floyd cover of fearless was just next level .. I’d so love to see him live ..

It's the best, sitting around jamming with the gang- any age, any type, don't matter.

[@iloveaviation-burgerclub-a8145]

Modern day life cuts of the last amount of time and energy to go for thi very often.

[@Funcrusher794]

Being from the uk, you don’t really get exposed to this type of music much, but damn, Such feel good music. Got my beer in my hand and my foot tapping away. Thank you, Billy.

Go watch that then, you nob

[@thomasramsey6942]

At 511 ya gotta love the dude that's too fucked up and needs a nap.

[@pamcm1098]

He wants the future Grammy winner to take the jam out of his bedroom.

[@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933]

Well.... He returns from upstairs with a spoon ol boy shot some dope and is having a nod I suspect. Or maybe he was playing spoons earlier.... I'm thinking the latter.

[@adamsauceda1164]

@@DingDongDaddyFromDumas933damn I never noticed the spoon 😂

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

Billy Pal. LLL when ain't u vet up 4 a Jammmm

[@Daveinmaine]

First time I saw him live he played this song with Bryan Sutton sitting in. When he got to the "20-some odd years ago" he broke into a little laugh, I assume based on Sutton teaseing him about his youth

[@JesseGreer-ks7gh]

Fiddle player is Vince gills long lost brother

You mean that really wasn't Vince Gill?
