    Who's still here in 2023? Was introduced to Billy strings about a year and a half ago. His lyrics are true and really speak to me can't wait to see him in new Orleans for new years. I'm from Georgia. I hope everyone reading this has a good life and stays prayed up. You are loved!

      Adding that they can all step back/add in themselves at the right time- clearly a group with good chemistry.
      The sheer hard work and time it takes to get that good indicidually is impressive, seeing them all performing together is phenomenal.

      The fact that he is so humble when he can write music and lyrics like he does and then perform and sing the way he does, makes him truly a once in a generation talent. And yes one of his best attributes is how he doesn’t demand the spotlight. He lets his brothers get some too. Love Billy so much

    I'm gonna say this --- I have never been a true fan of country music .. I've been a hard rocker my whole life .. and avoided any kind of country music as it is like nails on a chalk-board for me...

    My dad was named Billy, I lost him as a little girl. Grew up with his parents who always loved bluegrass, and still do. I am going through a painful breakup, so I came back home to my grandparents. My grandma said, you have to listen to Billy, listen to meet me at the creek. She loves you, she says she writes you on Facebook. I was laying here in bed and thought, ok, well I will try it. We live next to Lake Cumberland, and I’ve been going out to the lake everyday and floating in the water. It brings me peace and heals my pain. This song speaks volumes to me. Thank you for this.

    I've been listening to this band for quite a while now and it never gets old. I'm thinking what we have here is a new classic. I like some new bands but they grow old and I move on. A few have made the cut and never get old like Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Del McCoury, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, and now Billy Strings gets added to the list. I thought that the days of good music had left us for good I have never been so happy to be proven wrong.

    I just got introduced to Billy Strings music by watching Fil....
    I'm a major new fan.
    My mom played fiddle, violin, & danced a jig. Dad played banjo, harmonica & sang.
    They played bluegrass
    & old style country music in the 50's.
    I wound up singing & playing for a living out on the road because of my folks.
    I've always loved bluegrass, but this music is something else!
    I haven't seen such joy in playing since I was a little girl watching mom & dad perform.
    Thank you Billy Strings for unleashing your joy on the world.

    As of today 5/27/20 there are 313 people who are obviously very sad and unhappy and gave this a thumbs down! If you listen to Billy play and you're not smiling, tapping your toes or dancing you have a very sad life and I feel sorry for you.

    Wow. Just wow.
    I think I would call the genre Headbanger Bluegrass.
    Definitely the best performance of any group I've seen on Music City Roots.
    They were awesome.
    And Billy Strings has a new fan.
