Billy Strings - I'm Still Here : Last Train To Clarksville

[@johnmac333]

Billy gets all the attention - He's a superstar - but by God his sidemen are phenomenal !

[@guitarmusic524]

I saw John Play that in Bloomington, IN a few times. He passed through a couple times in the 90s when a friend of mine booked a club called the Wild Beet where I played occasionally. That friend invited me to hang out with John and his entourage between shows. When I told John how I enjoyed his music, he replied in his low voice, " Thank you, you're easily entertained."

First I heard dust in a baggy been hooked ever since.

[@therealjulez7886]

u and me both brother stumbled across a kid who carries the fire! hope he gets really recognized

[@tristanbellows4029]

Same dawg

[@robbie1977ful]

Yeah me to

[@phishAA]

Your still here

[@susanzeman4261]

You and everyone else

[@banjochaos99]

Wooyeee, Billy Strings is great, but Billy Failing is just as good on the banjo, such an under-appreciated picker!

[@pigpen1958]

The Whole band They is tight together

[@sandyguerrero804]

I want to hear him sing Last Train To Clarksville!

[@friendofbeaver6636]

I wanted to hear the bridge. The "ditty-ditty-dee-ditty-ditty," part, on guitar.

[@JordieFilip]

I've never clicked the like button so fast in my life!

[@Voirreydirector]

Still the best mashup on line. There’s a bunch of semi-homeless kids in Dublin almost catching up, but this is just gold.

[@gearoiddom]

What a shockingly good and welcome talent. What he chooses to play, how he plays it - he gets it all so right.

[@therealjulez7886]

Billy Strings has it all. the voice, the amazing guitar playing, and look. really hope this kid goes far bc he deserves it.

[@jorgesaojorge3841]

Ele já foi e está longe!!putz!! Génio puro! O Pai é igual!!!

[@heatherschattner]

Outstanding

[@vwald]

wish I could like this every time I watch it.. :)

[@robertmooney1229]

I don’t know how this came up on my KZbin timeline. BUT WOW. Billy makes his guitar sing like I could only dream of. He is a genius with his guitar. Thank you Billy.

This stuff is reviving my faith in blue grass!

[@thekid6109]

To the 79 people who gave a thumbs down...wtf is wrong with you?

[@brucejohnston6184]

Nothing, they just don't like it. There are many types of music oh American one 🤣

[@jaybo516]

They're on a bad trip is my guess 😆.

[@Hendrix-Jimi]

They don't like anything. They're miserable, bitter and angry....

[@pietbliksem]

@@brucejohnston6184 If they 'just don't like it' why they wasting time listening in the first place? Looks like a classic case of wannabe envy.

[@PattiCornell]

Love you Bobby we’re

[@19tractor52]

Man, just found these guys, Billy is great, and the banjo picker just nails the crap out of it

[@carloshathcock5333]

Finally, a millennial playing some good music! Hallelujah!

[@frankassberri4888]

Still, a baby boomer complaining about the generation he created! Predictable!

[@carloshathcock5333]

Your generation for the most part sucks harder than a black hole. BTW, I'm Generation X.

[@jackwindrom253]

I mean wtf???? Let me repeat this douchebag....WHAT the FUCK? This babyboomer has been on the Billy Train for almost 5 years now. And there's plenty more great music out there : Sara Jarosz, Chris Thile, Paul Kowert, Jordan Tice, Brittany Haas, Michael Daves, the Stringdusters, Fruition, Lil Smokies, need I go on??? Do us all a big big favor and STFU.

[@jackwindrom253]

X yourself out of existence ya myopic dipshit moron. Generation X??? LMFAO. That generation of Reagan, Coca Puffs, and Saved by the Fucking Bell #ownbeingajerkoff #youearnedit

[@burnwell_bandit3733]

Banjo dude killing it!!

[@paperairforce2689]

If it wasn't for You Tube, I wouldn't find great talent like this!

Billy Strings you’re a shining star!! 🌟

[@susanreynolds9607]

Yes!!!

[@njgl2010]

I like watching Billy Failings expressions lol. Just another day at the office haha. Incredible musician himself!

[@CatfishSkinner]

Dude is Awesome!👌

[@friendofbeaver6636]

Billy has a great speaking and singing voice. His ability to sing like he's lived the lyrics sets him apart. He's incredible on guitar, and kudos to the banjo and bass players! The "Clarksville" instrumental was so tight!

[@jacobarrowood3587]

Wow the banjo player killed it!

[@magikoflove]

I know right, he's just looking around all relaxed while he's killin it!

[@fretfix1]

Portland Oregon's own Banjo whiz.....Billy Failing!!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Billy NOT Failing

[@mackpainter7445]

Billy Failing killing it with all the calmness of a serial killer

[@mackpainter7445]

Hold it.. There was a spark of emotion at 3:00

[@mackpainter7445]

Billy Failing killing it on the banjo looking thoroughly bored while doing it

[@Scoo-py]

He gives off that old school bluegrass vibe. Stoic look, completely expression-less, while being a master at his craft

[@lizcanfield3840]

I love his banjo player ❤

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

@@Scoo-pyHe’s went to the Berkley school of Music in N.Y. But I get what your saying. He doesn’t do drugs,Billy said he’s religious.

[@rickyball5165]

Bet he has the same expression when your on your knees in front of him.

Billy Strings - Amazing

[@jeffscott8323]

He loves John Hartford. All Fall Down is also an awesome cover\

@Hubert Cumberdale he mentioned the bassist at 0:23 Philip George (sp?) on the bass.

[@eamonperkins8061]

!ts called space !

[@gunzakimbo]

Most honky tonk and bluegrass musicians are like that. Definitely a nice warm feeling when you acknowledge everyone....

[@danadavis917]

He's just incredible. And you can tell he really loves what he does.

[@jeffscott8323]

When you love what you do you give it your all and he is.

[@normamartin8755]

He sings this song with so much ATTITUDE AND HUMOR. I search for every performance of it, each one is a little different from rest.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@aliwhitwell]

Amazing musicianship from all three. Wow!!

[@Yisraela]

Can't wait to see Billy Strings, my second show in Asheville, October!!!

[@Knight14649]

That Last Train to Clarksville, just put a big smile on my face. Thanks I needed that... maybe the best version of this dong I ever heard. Well since the Monkees.....

[@johnfrost9894]

Billy Strings is an incredible talent !

[@BG-nj7kf]

I don't love everything I have heard Billy do, but I have yet to find anything I don't at least like. Just an immense talent. Keep 'em coming!

Ian Anderson never said that.

[@TheTora75]

In the acoustic world there is no distortion to hide behind. This kinda of music is bare bones.

This Dude. Is good

[@noiamspartacus8965]

Mad skills to Clarksville, boom tune!

[@langwaters9653]

WOW!! Just found Billy. WTF?!?! 26 years old?!? Excellent.

[@jimronsivalli1675]

Truly and old soul

[@keithmartin1627]

Lang Waters not bluegrass just old fashioned country check out Colter Wall. He’s only 20 but sounds a Lot older on most his tracks I’m talking 50+ gravelly voice.

Hi Billy 😍

[@ibelieveyourlies1984]

I wish I could transition songs like that. Talented dosen't start to describe these guys.

[@bluerxstandard]

You can. You just gotta pull it out.. Kinda like gum throughout the song.

[@imannonymous7707]

I just want to throw my beloved guitar on the fire right now......I'll never play like this....outstanding

Dude, just listen to how tight these guys are. Not a single note out of time or place, hot damn.

Awesome job!

[@RandyStrubleBackingTracks]

Billy is fantastic!! I just recently became a fan. Other than the fact that he and his band are great musicians, is the passion I feel coming from them as I watch and listen. There are few that truly have that and fewer that can make the listener/ viewer feel their passion.

[@darthphaser2991]

Amazing mash up of the Monkees song. Thats really impressive.

[@Liam1H]

Talk about being well and truly in the groove! Just excellent. Perfect slap bass underlines, glorious blends of banjo picking styles and then there's that singing guitar lead of Billy's. For me, it just doesn't get any better than this. As fantastic as they all sound now, I can't imagine how incredible they are going to sound in ten or twenty years. Sure hope I live to hear it!

[@ScottyWig]

Just killer, , I've never liked the sound of banjo for some crazy reason but I must say I LOVE all of what that guy just played there!

[@freedapeeple4049]

When I run across someone who doesn't like banjo, I recommend the bluegrass tribute album "Pickin' on Pink Floyd"

[@rogerroger7734]

Dude that lick at 3:15 or around it. Wow. Great progression.

[@seangarrison9020]

Dammit! Ever since I heard y'all's music, I have been a slave to the guitar. Inspired big time. Trying to get my flatpickin' up to speed! Tips? Love what y'all are doing! Freaking love it!

[@JD-lq2ef]

Keep at it!!! I have been inspired by a lot of the new flatpickers these days! If you keep Doc Watson in your collection you will have a good foundation to work with! He is the reason Billy and Molly and many others are keeping Bluegrass alive!

[@susanreynolds9607]

Billy, you are the greatest, pls come to NC soon. Keep those bg hits coming.
