At the FREE Winnetka Music Festival in June 2018. Can't remember what the first song was, but i distinctly remember Turmoil..... The entire set blew me away and i've been hooked ever since. BTW, i heard OF him for a while before that festival as a friend was familiar with his music... When i saw he was playing the fest (about 10-15 minutes from my house), i told that friend we gotta go!
First time I heard him was 6 years ago, it was dust in a baggie and I’ve never heard anyone do with an acoustic guitar, what he can do, there’s lightning in them fingers, lord have mercy !!!
Hate to say it, but this is the Billy Strings I enjoyed the most. Now we have a Grateful Dead Pothead. No offense Billy, but you went from Bluegrass, to Dope Grass....
@@MortandHarley Completely agree. I first experienced Billy in videos of this period and was immediately hooked. His talent was so obvious and his sunny disposition was always front and center. The more I knew about him and from whence he'd come, the more I admired his ability to succeed and, seemingly, without resentment of what he'd experienced. He's in heady times right now and I hope he can stay centered so we can enjoy his marvelous music for many years to come.
Had the great pleasure of seeing this duo multiple times. They camped in a Chrysler minivan right next to my fifth wheel one time at a bluegrass festival in Lowell Michigan. I really loved those days. Where did I first hear Billy? At that same festival years before with his dad Terry Barber. I remember turning to my wife one day and said, this kid is going places. boy that was an understatement.
Billy Strings, Don Julian and George Gershwin. Deeply authentic rendition with Billy's great guitar and voice. Thanks Billy and Don. American music at it's best.
Absolutely incredible, got to see him twice last year. Seems he's still improving which is insane because he's incredible here as well. Our generations doc, Tony or Norman. And a stunning voice to boot! Thank you for sharing this gem.
Kid your amazing. Don't understand why you haven't hit it big yet. The way you play and your voice. You got what it takes. Your like the older generation. You feel the music. You don't see that much anymore. Keep trying and if your just doing this as a hubby. You need to really think about taking it farther
We just still love your music!!! Amazing! Keep it up.. you need to be signed by the biggest label out there! Our Son can play like you, but has 4 kids and won’t anymore.
Next to the Harry Manx version this may be my favorite version of this song. If you haven't heard the Harry Manx version do yourself a favor and check it out too!
I love how billy has that just got out of prison look.....the prison of a bad life....what gives him the ability to be able to sing the blues .....and the fact that the good times were ahead...a lucky survivor of a shitty start to life....show that life is what u make of it .. and if beaitiful soulful music is the byproduct....lucky for us....keep on plucking billy.... boywonder
Hey there, I am producer for CBS NEWS. We interviewed Billy for a piece on him for CBS Sunday Morning. I wanted to inquire about using some of the videos I've seen on this channel to help tell his story. Let me know if you have time to chat on this thanks!
This video gives some strong vibes. Hard to explain. Just the house they are in, not the playing itself. It seems miss matched. A old setting but with some timeless playing. They are too good
Back when Billy understood Bluegrass, and it's deep roots.....Now we have a Grateful Dead Pothead...Hope and Pray he finds his way back to the land of Bill Monroe, and Flatt and Scruggs...

Red rocks- Away from the mire
@@rambointhewild9438 That's always been a favorite of mine. Hearing it at Red Rocks is hard to beat!
Preacher and the bear on your channel. Blew my mind. Now I'm obsessed.
This is.. unbelievable. When you see how it’s made right in front of your eyes it’s hard to believe. Truly exceptional
First time I heard him was 6 years ago, it was dust in a baggie and I’ve never heard anyone do with an acoustic guitar, what he can do, there’s lightning in them fingers, lord have mercy !!!
lord have mercy!
You need to listen to Tony Rice. He died a few years ago. This young man is phenomenal, but Tony Rice could have taught him a few things.
I love Don and Billy together. So simple and the instrumentals and Billy's voice shine because there's no other noise to distract. Pure heaven!
Yeah

@@tanyaraven9492 bela was the same. He'll get bored of jammy prog eventually
@@cfcolly That's encouraging news. Just to clarify, I still enjoy Billy Strings' work immensely, just prefer his earlier work.

Everyone who grew up in the 80's had that exact couch. Don't even try to lie!! lol. I love these older uploads. Awesome stuff.
Been watching Billy for years. Give em hell Billy

🙂 I went four times, and I'm seeing him again in November! Billy and the boys are on fire!
@@pamcm1098 lucky! You've got that right though, I can't wait to see what genius is yet to come.
Saw doc and mearle in their prime, nothing like this. Much better.
Sitting in the living room with the video camera on, and this falls out of heaven.
Hell yeah. Probably my favorite version of this song.
I don't understand how this still hasn't broken 100K views. Incredible rendition from a generational talent.
I still love the Marcus king and Billy string's rendition . But I do love when BILLY & Don play together.
MEMORIES OF THOSE SMALLER INTIMATE SHOWS.
Super! Ich werde meine Gitarre wieder entstauben. Danke!
Billy did some of his best work with Don Julin.
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Billy keeps the young gents interested in Bluegrass music Yeah !!
Thanks again, Lower Standards.
I sure could go for something cold to drink about now.
It's a hot one today.
Omg~ Thank you~ So needed to hear and see this for the first time~ Beautiful~
Dang this is an old video, back when people didn’t know that Billy would be taking over the world 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Whoever runs this channel knew it apparently....been sitting on video after video of killer content
Looks at this old gold. Beautiful stuff. Living in the moment is great, but also saving that moment for mass enjoyment for later is great as well!
So looking forward seeing you at Frost Ampitheatre end of September in California!
Absolutely brilliant
This is so great! Sound quality is awesome and the video too. Please keep em coming LS!
Absolutely lovely

We just still love your music!!! Amazing! Keep it up.. you need to be signed by the biggest label out there! Our Son can play like you, but has 4 kids and won’t anymore.
Fabulous playing. You guys rock. New subscriber here
Amazing!!!!
Give billy strings an old ass couch and you got yourself instant success.
Love
Keep rocking man
Dust in a baggie first and today is when I first heard it I think.this shit is fucking amazing I have a new favorite musician
Nothing beats his version with Marcus King. Pure gold!
Billy Strings meets George Gershwin. Magical.
I know Bill has his own crew but I would love for Don to pop onto tour with him from time to time.
Next to the Harry Manx version this may be my favorite version of this song. If you haven't heard the Harry Manx version do yourself a favor and check it out too!
Fuck yeah
No words from bon just speaking thew the mandolin
Love it
Hell yeah!
Very nice
Sweet!!
HELLA YEA JERRY!!!
Yo. I can tell by the fan, that window ac unit and the pattern on the couch….they're at my mamas house.
Jack Black plays a mean mandolins!
I would have loved to hear an acoustic bass for support when Billy soloed but other than that these guys are pros👍👍👍
You guys are such legends it's not even funny
Nice!
I liked Kat Edmonson, and Billie Holiday too 🙉😆🙉
Your voice is real good
wow
magic live from the couch
Oh my god
Start of Pandemic and Dust in a Baggie on TH-cam. Seen him twice this year in Atlanta!
I love how billy has that just got out of prison look.....the prison of a bad life....what gives him the ability to be able to sing the blues .....and the fact that the good times were ahead...a lucky survivor of a shitty start to life....show that life is what u make of it .. and if beaitiful soulful music is the byproduct....lucky for us....keep on plucking billy.... boywonder
Wish I had a cd
There are several CDs, but if you're looking for one from this era, here you are.

Billy as a kid
Why did Billy and Don stop touring together?
Janis would be proud.
Love seeing Billy lost in the music....
😁😁😁
long ways from the microtones. lol, hi Don
whos house are they in?
Nicer couch than Dust in a Baggie
Summertime???🙂
summer time?
pre-tattoo billy! lol
I can’t play a radio 😢
Nobody can. Damn shame what you won't find there.
If you could play this yourself or could listen to this regularly would you need a radio?
Back when Billy understood Bluegrass, and it's deep roots.....Now we have a Grateful Dead Pothead...Hope and Pray he finds his way back to the land of Bill Monroe, and Flatt and Scruggs...
Kyle Rittenhouse jamming with Julin. Pretty bad ass!
Ah, you beat me to it! 😂
The pattern on the couches? WTF?
I feel like the mandolin takes away from his performance
This dude's not even 20 years old
Is Billy Strings related to Kyle Rittenhouse? They look like siblings.
