Stephen Wilson Jr. - "billy" (Acoustic)

[@justincruse4550]

The only reason this dude, right here is not one of the biggest stars in the world is because people don’t know real music anymore

[@mckenziejones3454]

100% brother! I can still remember when a song was worth so much more

[@lotusnes]

There's no flipping way. This man is already in launch. He's just doing it his own way and most people don't recognize this kind of genius blooms into the world gently and sweetly because of its genuine nature. It would not surprise me if this music is somewhat healing and cathartic for some of us in society. He is already a star and there is no way of ignoring it's shine. I would even bet more that a few Grammys in this mans future and more amazing collaborations like hearing his music in films in the future. I'm just saying it's inevitable. What an amazing artist. Swoonsville out! ✨

[@cm4231]

He’s pretty badass with everyone I know! But yes I agree!!!

[@chaddeibler-hunt3610]

Not yet.. 😉

[@steveholmes_1]

That’s a fact

[@aberks]

I just found this guy this morning. Spent all day pruning trees in an apple orchard and this music turned a long day of slightly dangerous work into a magical one. God I love his music.

[@prostar505]

i found him by accident a year ago now im an avid fan hes got it going on

[@Frank-m7s4e]

U I'm from Wayne county New York the airport orchard state where you from brother

[@Frank-m7s4e]

I love this dude ever since I took it in my ears

[@derikknutson4685]

Just so we are clear we are the first when this dude takes off !!

[@jessiehenderson44]

Here!

[@VinnyBoscotvchannel]

i heard Howard Stern playing one of his songs today love his style

[@bugoutjeep8065]

The wife and I can’t get enough of this song. All of his songs are great.

[@evan85canada]

This is one especially wicked though, you're right

[@WeAreWestbound]

During the bridge, my guy does a sweep pick in the middle of strumming. For those of you that don’t play guitar, that’s impossible. Stephen’s the GOAT

[@brutalmoshchris]

He absolutely rips at guitar. Underrated doesn’t even begin to describe it

[@jesseericdodier]

Talking about 2:55?

[@uberClaud]

This guy reminds me so much of a young Tom Petty. Not like the same but same spirit, playing, singing, writing. Not rock like TP but their is something the same. Really digging him

[@michele21auntiem]

​@@uberClaudI get whst u mean. He has that commanding energy that draws you in to the music.

[@mikeslamermusic]

I’ve seen my guy SWJ twice live now, he absolutely rips as a guitarist. He’s packing heat, make no mistake!

[@SicBoy92277]

This dude is so underrated!

[@patrickk1966]

I said that when I saw him over a year ago open South Bend, he was in the middle of two of the guys playing hell I don’t remember the other guys because he was so darn good and when they were playing, he would join them in kind of pick up there, do you know background and he just sounds like an old orchestra behind them He’s just an amazing guitar player and amazing talent really unique sound. I don’t know why he’s not hit the big time yet he should.

[@JoeyLevenson]

The guitar sound is one thing, but the man has an incredible control of melody and uses it to create monster riffs.

[@hurstshiftin9873]

Soul prevailing over skill ❤

[@clayskelton9557]

I’ve been listening to this on repeat for 3 days

[@jakecarroll3135]

Been listening to Mr. Wilson for a couple years now. And i totally hear a blend of Springsteen, Cornell. But his blending of genres, gifted guitar work, and wordsmanship, sets him a apart. Great nostalgic undertones.. there literally isnt a single song indont like. I've listened to every album. Love em all. Straight LEGEND in the making

[@grinderhousecoffeeshopllc6954]

I came across the video of The Devil in 2018-2019 and ive been hooked ever since. And such a humble man. Scotty Murray and his twon brother are also the bomb. We were so fortunate to have them come play our 77 seat venue twice and i swear the 100 yr old building is still rocking!! Lol. Go Stephen, go! Angela and Asa

[@jenniferhobbs6354]

Just bought my ticket to see this guy in Arkansas in May!!! Him and Hardy....yeah the hills come with me!!!

[@DavidBlake-m2u]

That will be a damn good show . What venue is it? The amp? George’s Majestic?Fort Smith convention center?

[@jenniferhobbs6354]

@@DavidBlake-m2u The Amp. I'm super excited! Yes gonna be a damn good concert!

[@savannahdennis9351]

Bro are you an angel I feel like your words come from god!

[@hurstshiftin9873]

❤

[@maltisse]

Some of the best music I've heard in a long time. Raw. This is what music wants to be today but doesn't have the balls to do it. Keep em coming man really enjoy it.

[@Dominic-q3v]

Only a matter of time. The real deal right here.

[@zk4339]

Just keep spreading his music to people you know and he will be where he deserves to be before you know it. Best thing is he seems like a down to earth all around descent dude! And thats the type of people I like to see make it big.

[@SBBAckk-ts8xw]

i was laid out in bed and clicked on holler, spent the day listening to Stephen's raw talent, stuck on it and sharing with anyone and everyone 🤍

[@julianpearce312]

Brilliant, insightful and intense, thank you to everyone who made this happen. In a world of plenty of fake and false stories this was naked honesty and personal. I’ve had the pleasure of to speak to Stephen after a gig in the uk, what you see here is what you get in person… a great sincere guy

[@capnpablo1]

I just discovered this fellow this weekend. We must blow this guy up!! Unbelievable talent and sound! Thank-you Mr. Wilson for sharing your gift!

[@Gratefulman1965]

My son just turned me on to Stephen and I have to say thank you to my son Kyle! I’m 59 and I feel Stephen is the best song writer since early Willie Nelson and early Springsteen. He is following his heart and it shows. Amazing lyrics!

[@tylerbowers5812]

Small town Indiana boy and I can’t get enough of this guy! Pure talent! 💯

[@JulieKempe]

I've known a couple of "Billy"s & I won't ever forget them. I hope to see this awesome musician July 6th! 🤞👍👏

[@rtoadietodd]

Just came across this guy today ..this is as real as it gets. Interesting and cutting edge lyrics, darkness and light combine to provide the listener with a visual unholy sermon. Close your eyes, turn off the lights and watch the show.

[@CatCmdr]

I can listen to him all day……oh, I do!! 😊

[@Baticictoni]

I’m from Italy, I listen much of the time only metal music, but for the last week I listen only Stephen. Incredible talent and great songs and music

[@paustinheaton]

Nice. The Krocks in the Kitchen sent me. They said you are great and I agree.

[@DUNNODOU]

What A superstar I can't believe I not known about this man

[@stevebarker4466]

What a Fantastic version!!!!! Love this Cat!!! Skys the limit!!

[@jbarksdale5845]

This dude is the real one.

[@2listening1]

I love that guitar sound.

[@justinguthrie108]

Man this is great, this is a Springsteen Nebraska level. Respect

[@camerongiles7178]

My first thought when hearing his voice. Nebraska era Springsteen. One of the greatest albums ever.

[@markdeville5844]

This one got me in the feels, I think I got dust in my eye

[@jamesjddj23]

love it out here in Scarisbrick Lancashire! god bless the internet

[@zacht1217]

The hills come with me!

[@bubbabrianh05]

Image the chill with Stephen and Brian Fallon.

[@JoeyLevenson]

That’d be a good combo!

[@Brian--jonas]

❤ 🙏🏻damn I've just discovered you tonight Mr #Stephen wilson Jr by you covering one of my favourite bands Nirvana's Something In the way and man you smashed it in your own style let me tell you I honestly never in my wildest dreams thought anybody would ever be able to take any of Kurt's music to the same level as he did buy you took it to a higher level brother I absolutely loved it you sir have now got a new fan for life I've been listening to your songs for over an hour now and let me say my hats off to you I'm loving your sound and your vocals are amazing God bless you 🤠🙏🏻

[@wileyjdraws7594]

Holy cow this hits hard

[@bryanackeret5066]

Hey Stephen! I'm still can't get enough of your music. Both of us Hailing out of Jackson County. See ya💪👊🤟

[@David-sf6jv]

This dude is awesome and he has several songs I love

[@Creek_Water]

Yes! Yes! Yes!

[@BillyActon]

From a HillBilly named Billy I really like that one lol. New theme song!

[@patrickmccray3287]

Legend. Thanks for representing us bro.

[@RealIrishTexan]

This dude is badass!!!

[@vincentreynolds1679]

Just witnessed the start of something wonderful, that’s the truth❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@marcoramirez222]

Cuando creí que todo estaba perdido me encuentro con esta joya maravillosa, en medio de toda la basura auditiva que nos imponen desde todos los frentes... En México aún existimos quienes apreciamos la calidad y el talento!!!!

[@JimSmith-zo3pm]

Probably my favorite of all time fucking amazing

[@waynecribb4922]

Killer song, awesome guitar tone. A song like you don't hear much these days. Probably why I love it. A talent like we haven't seen in a lot of years. I salute you Mr. WILSON !

[@jakecarroll3135]

Im from a small village called Knockemstiff Ohio. This tune literally describes life here to a T! I talk to good ole boys like the fella in your video everyday. I love the backwoods! But this is absolutely amazing. This is insanely good. The blending of genres. The story telling. Nasty, original, badass riffs throughout. I can literally close my eyes and drift into another realm listening to this and all your other stuff. Ive played drums since i was 12 and guitar since i was 15 and ive been obsessed with all music since i was 7 and receieved tom pettys greates hits for a birthday present. It was my 1st album on a casette tape in 1994. It blew my mind.... and down the rabbit hole i went. This is that kinda good man. Im 36 now, and i still love to write songs, play and sing them, and gather with any musician that claims to be!! I wish you the best! And if you are not a national.sensation within the next 2 years something is surely wrong. We all know what we hear on the mainstream doesnt touch whats underground, real, and raw. Everyone I meet i strike a conversation just introduce your music too. Dont quit!!

[@RCSSmith]

Same Knockemstiff in the movie The Devil all the Time?

[@jakecarroll3135]

Yessir different kinda place now, but still rural as hell

[@rodgnarley4986]

Your music rocks brother! You deserve fame and fortune 🎉

[@fredpallesi9980]

In my honest opinion he's one of the greatest hands f****** down listen to his pick and listen to his music listen to how he puts it all together G.O.A.T

[@davidtrunk5583]

This track is killer 🖤🖤🖤🖤 The world needs artists like you, thank god, honest music is still not dead

[@KellieFreer]

Thank you this song is a life changer or something like that It just cuts right through and brakes me to the core I don't know why but I love when music does that and you did it thank you and I wish you the best and a little more on top of that

Another great song Stephen, love the acoustic versions.

[@dawndavis4238]

I'd say I first heard you about 30 minutes ago. You are a great musician and songwriter. I'm just amazed by you. I'm loving this so much. It doesn't happen often when somebody's talent just grabs you like that. You're amazing.

[@dtm67543]

just saw him a red rocks a couple weeks ago been hooked since then!

[@MeanHoneyBadger]

Can't play this enough.

[@MeanHoneyBadger]

love and respect from SW Alberta. Getting up high in the hills 'round here, surrounded by all the familiar mountains it's like being with a bunch of ol' friends. This song seems to embody that feeling like nothin else ive heard.

Blending the almost pop punk guitar riff with these lyrics is complete musical genius! His music is so unique and catchy.

[@ytterp2201]

I love this song I played it at the bar but it was a different version and had the hole bar hooked on all the rest you had on there we need more like you... my cousin Stephen Wilson is the reason I found you I was searching for him and found you lol

Wow that is very good

[@user-vx3jj4yr5c]

[@sistertracy-thechurchofroc6574]

Steve Earle has always been my favorite...especially as a songwriter. For many, many years people either didn't know who he was or only knew him as "the guy who sings Copperhead Road". He had to go to hell and back to get any notoriety. I get Steve vibes from this cat, and that's about as big a compliment as I can give.

[@stephenpearson3925]

Hell yeah 👌🤘

[@stevejohnson3132]

I'm from SE kentucky. I moved to Nebraska with my dad at 14 it was a different world to me. I never knew I had an accent till I moved from home. I caught hell everyday at school. One day this girl out of no where raises her hand in class the teacher is like yes Jenny. Jenny then asked isn't kentucky the inbred state and the teacher said yes Jenny it is. I got so mad I was throwing books and chairs and flipping tables. I walked out of the school they later sent cops after me I told them what had happened and they left me alone. I finally moved back home at 19 and figured out the only difference between a sum bich and a hillbilly is the Mississippi River 😂. So I absolutely love this song.

[@PullStartStables]

I can sing pretty good sometimes. Priceless!

[@laurie1266]

Another awesome song...I love it...Nice work 👏👍😀❤️🙌
