About Billy Strings:
Billy Strings plays hard and he lives hard, picking so fast and intensely that he’s known to break multiple strings per song, and basing the songs he writes on the hard lives he grew up around in the abandoned rural communities of America. His new album, Turmoil & Tinfoil, taps into a deep vein of psychedelia in Americana, referencing everything from the Dead to Sturgill Simpson, but all underlaid by Billy’s undeniable virtuosity and his knowledge of the roots of American music. He’s one of the most beloved young bluegrass guitarists today within the bluegrass community, and his front porch in East Nashville is constantly filled up with Nashville’s best roots musicians just picking up a storm.
The tricky part of making the new album, Turmoil & Tinfoil, was translating Billy Strings’ incendiary live show into the studio. Returning to his home state of Michigan, Billy enlisted acoustic roots wizard Glenn Brown (Greensky Bluegrass) as producer, and centered the music around his new band, featuring Drew Matulich on mandolin with banjo prodigy Billy Failing and much-loved Nashville bassist Brad Tucker. Rich with special guests, Turmoil & Tinfoil shows off Billy’s East Nashville community of picking friends, among them Miss Tess, Molly Tuttle, John Mailander, Shad Cobb and Peter Madcat Ruth. Of special note is a virtuosic duet between Billy and bluegrass guitarist Bryan Sutton on “Salty Sheep” that shows the speed, precision, and creative craftsmanship of bluegrass when it’s done right.

Lyrics:
Through the turmoil and the tinfoil
I could wait my early life
I could see you in the darkness
And I'm running through the night
I recall a silver morning
When your face had turned to gray
You were standin' right before me
But I missed you every day
Though you never said you're sorry
I forgave you even then
But I feel inconsequential
In the current state I'm in
But I'll try to keep on living
Through the nauseating gloom
And I'll try to keep on digging
Wretched past [?]
Though you never said you're sorry
I forgave you even then
But I feel inconsequential
In the current state I'm in
Through the turmoil and the tinfoil
Just the way it used to be
But I have a strength and I have learned
How to fly on broken wings
Lord, you never said you're sorry
I'll forgive you even then
But I feel inconsequential
In the current state I'm in
