It's summertime when I'm hearing this and these boys are surely cutting the grass excellent excellent excellent !!! Keep on cutting from Farmersville Ohio
How great to have a debate about who did a better version of this song. Until Billy Strings came along, Ruby and the Osborne Brothers were loved by a small bunch of old-timers like me. Welcome home to great old music, kids! Follow Billy the Apostle!
Love Billy’s showmanship and entertaining in the spirit of Roy Clark, the intimate contact with his audience while killing his instrument and just having fun while he displays the artistry and skills few ever put in the work to achieve. Well done to Billy and the band, they follow his lead well. So good! 🔥🙌🏼🤗🎯👏🏼
They are totally awesome, seen them three magical times, Billy has revived my faith in music. But the Dead have like 50 original classic songs that everyone wants to cover 50 years later. That's what makes you truly timeless. And Billy has taken already established ways of playing guitar to the next level, but Jerry invented a way that no one ever envisioned. There is a difference between absurdly talented and genius, but there's still time.
Awesome talent young man, refreshing; pickers of classics... and your stage presence has me going from Doc to George Thorogood and beyond...... Thank You for restoring our faith in young talent to be treasured.
Well I been watching you Billy and I damn sure like your music I know sonny and Bobby would be very proud of your rendition .Keep up the good work I know you don't consider yourself traditional but you have done great things for bluegrass music and the fans just keep loving it you play your heart out and it shows
Dude I gotta see Billy live. He really seems to be having so much fun which translates to a great show. I mean the kid became super successful in the 2000’s playing bluegrass. He should thank his lucky stars.
I saw the Osborne brothers in 1967 near my hometown of Norman Oklahoma at the first bluegrass festival in 1967 when I was eight years old. They did Rocky Top!
@@kevinhuffman3900I don’t know if you’re related, or even from North Carolina but Roby Huffman was pretty dog gone close. From Johnston county NC, Bobby once complimented his rendition of Ruby. 😎
I wouldn’t want to debate who has the “best” version of this great song; I’ll just say that if you like this, you should also find a live version from Yonder Mountain String Band (original lineup). You’ll probably dig that, too.
Omg this one hits home!that's my Moms name and God help us all until he it makes right again! Oh no no Ruby ain't the One ✋💅and the 🦜 keeping it clean. Love it thanks
One of the VERY best in the business of makin' songs with strings!! And he would be even MORE appreciated if he could make it look as difficult as it is, rather than so damn easy!!!!!
Indeed. Cynthia Mae Carver played professionally as Cousin Emmy. In 1935 she WON the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Championship. She was the first woman to WIN the event. In 1946 performing as Cousin Emmy and Her Kinfolk, she wrote and recorded Ruby(Are You Mad at Your Man). The Osborne Brothers released Ruby as a single in 1956, and popularized it, I suppose.
Love it last time I heard this was when Yonder Mountain string band covered it and Billy just killed it even better than Jefff singing it which I never thought was possible. Keep on going ya'll.

Some of the finest mandolin work you'll ever see
It's summertime when I'm hearing this and these boys are surely cutting the grass excellent excellent excellent !!! Keep on cutting from Farmersville Ohio
I’m sure Bobby Osborne was smiling 😊 when he heard this cover of Ruby. Billy gives much love and respect to the legends . Very cool!!!!!❤
Billy is keeping the old songs, the true country& bluegrass alive. God bless this young fella!
I was there. This concert changed my life.
Where did he play? I’m from Brookline but haven’t been home for years
@@sabrinaevans8746 He opened up a brand new venue called roadrunner. It's gnarly
rest in peace bobby and sonny. the music is in good hands.
I've been watching Billy on yt since he arrived. It's unbelievable to watch him develop on TH-cam. Go get it Billy strings. I love ruby.
Now imagine how good sounds... not on youtube. Go see him on tour!
This band has real charisma and a virtuoso guitarist at the helm they could really be something special for years
Top line musicians , all.
How great to have a debate about who did a better version of this song. Until Billy Strings came along, Ruby and the Osborne Brothers were loved by a small bunch of old-timers like me. Welcome home to great old music, kids! Follow Billy the Apostle!
Best mandolin I ever heard!!!!

Roy Clark was a killer Showman and Musician!!!!
Roy Clark is a good comparison
lol Roy Clark is a horrible comparison! Clark was awful and impossible to watch and even worse when it come to singing.
Roy Clark is one of the best musicians who ever lived so good comparison
@@jeremyblack3394 I think you're just uncomfortable with comedians
I was singing this song at the age of 3, my Dad can vouch for that one. Billy is just a beast, period!
Saw Billy in Wilkes Barre PA., felt like I was in church!
Billy Strings is amazing as he has been for years, and the band are, too. Great harmonies, especially at the end!
Music is not dead! And so badly needed in these weird times.
Watching this young man mature has been a thing of beauty.
What a talent and all the BOYZ are too! ❤❤❤ billy strings
Geee Billy, what can’t you not do!! Spectacular dude!
Was at this show and I have listened to this over and over since!!!
ya killed it, man. Congratulations Guys!!!
The best on earth right now. Folks will look back at this band the same way we look back at the dead
Yes

Dear God I hope not
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer ride the wave baby!
Jerrod, woah.
Dude put all his stats points in dexterity*
Feel like I got hit by a train
He's incredible
@@nayr3767and used all the mods ever conceived.
So much great music everywhere these days. We are so lucky !
Thank you. It extends well beyond Billy and before he came onto the scene. How lucky are we to be able to see them all when we can.
Saw them in Charlottesville last month and he played this. And damn they absolutely shred this song. Definitely gets my blood pumpin!
Just plain ole AWESOME!
Excellent song. Excellent cover!
fantastic i bought your cd first one ever im a 70s 80s rocker & 68 years old great band
This is beautiful to me.
Old sounds,but Billy putting a new twist to blue grass, keeping the old alive, but he killed this one, hat’s off to you Billy.
Awesome talent young man, refreshing; pickers of classics... and your stage presence has me going from Doc to George Thorogood and beyond...... Thank You for restoring our faith in young talent to be treasured.
That's so damn fast. Amazing playing and singing as always
Well I been watching you Billy and I damn sure like your music I know sonny and Bobby would be very proud of your rendition .Keep up the good work I know you don't consider yourself traditional but you have done great things for bluegrass music and the fans just keep loving it you play your heart out and it shows
Fantastic!!!!!!
After seeing this band I have faith in music again! They do a lot of covers, but their original stuff is even better!
Dude I gotta see Billy live. He really seems to be having so much fun which translates to a great show. I mean the kid became super successful in the 2000’s playing bluegrass. He should thank his lucky stars.
The live shows are mind blowing, ya gotta get to one or however many they play in a weekend
Watching a Boy become a Man, becoming a Legend in our lifetime.
I saw the Osborne brothers in 1967 near my hometown of Norman Oklahoma at the first bluegrass festival in 1967 when I was eight years old. They did Rocky Top!
Respect ✌️
Hes becoming a legend
I am so Wow'd hearing hin give so much mad respect to Ruby, Osborne Bros and all who covered it like Roy Clark! Daymmmmmmnnnnn
Absolutely fantastic and fun. Well done lads.
I’m an old man. Never seen something like this.
I'm seeing them next month in Florida can't wait!
He blows my mind how phenomenal he is!
Billy is one of a kind generational thanks Billy pretty goddamn good
Thank You!!
Beautiful
I can't wait to see him June!!!😍
The band is great but there is something about those high notes in the singing from the Osborn Brothers that that makes there version truly great
Exactly!
None of them can touch Bobby's vocals in his prime. Not even the girls
@@kevinhuffman3900I don’t know if you’re related, or even from North Carolina but Roby Huffman was pretty dog gone close. From Johnston county NC, Bobby once complimented his rendition of Ruby. 😎
Loving it Billy!
When a song is better than the original artist you know that you have a group of super stars 💖
better than the original? really?
Woahhh now. Fine job, but nowhere near Osborne Broths
How does that apply here though?
I don't think so. Billy's a tenor trapped in the body of a baritone. Bobby's on another level vocally, a real country strained old timey countertenor
Well, Cousin Emmy might disagree. I prefer the Rhiannon Giddens.
Fuck I remembering watching back in the '60s. My mom and dad there introduced me to Bill Monroe literally to bluegrass music on. You guys are amazing
I'd say they all crushed it. What a band man.🤘
Holy shit... Killed it..
Thanks!
Thanks so much Catherine!
Absolutely 👀💚🎵🪕🎶🎸🪕🎶💚
Your whole damn band is killer OMG
Just wow !!!! Awesome!!!
I wouldn’t want to debate who has the “best” version of this great song; I’ll just say that if you like this, you should also find a live version from Yonder Mountain String Band (original lineup). You’ll probably dig that, too.
Check out the Carolina Chocolate Drops' live version at Bonnaroo too - with Rhiannon Giddens singing lead.
Billy has the musicianship but Rhiannon shines.
Absolutely badass
Dayum.
Omg this one hits home!that's my Moms name and God help us all until he it makes right again! Oh no no Ruby ain't the One ✋💅and the 🦜 keeping it clean. Love it thanks
wow,,,,,a future icon and his band at the top of their game,,,,awesome,,
Wow absolutely awesome
I think Billy's gettin' the hang of this guitar thing...
Fabulous!!
Just Perfection!!!
Atta boy!
One of the VERY best in the business of makin' songs with strings!! And he would be even MORE appreciated if he could make it look as difficult as it is, rather than so damn easy!!!!!
Sweet take on this classic.
FYI - This song is NOT an original Osborne Brothers. It was written and first recorded by Cousin Emmy in 1946.
Indeed. Cynthia Mae Carver played professionally as Cousin Emmy. In 1935 she WON the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Championship. She was the first woman to WIN the event. In 1946 performing as Cousin Emmy and Her Kinfolk, she wrote and recorded Ruby(Are You Mad at Your Man). The Osborne Brothers released Ruby as a single in 1956, and popularized it, I suppose.
@@Dloomis494 Thanks for this beauty.
Love it last time I heard this was when Yonder Mountain string band covered it and Billy just killed it even better than Jefff singing it which I never thought was possible. Keep on going ya'll.
Osborn Brothers Ruby
I wish I could love this 1000 times! Rhiannon Giddens also does a beautiful version of this song.
Like the Osborne Brothers version much more!
Unbelievable.
Yes!
Wonderful Entertainers !
SICK
Shhhheeeewwwww…. Took us all to his shanty.
Good fucking god dude. This is sooooo dope
I wanna hear him sing a child again by the osborne brothers I think he would crush it
I would like to see TBT do ruby. They would crush it !
He never really looks happy, I hope there's a soul. May God bless you and protect you. Please him.
get it boy!
When you play so fine that guitar duffers like me hang it on the wall, you are at the top of the mountain. Live long and prosper Billy Strings
Waaaaaaa. Hooooooo!
Ridiculous. These guys are insane!
This was crushed by each and every band member!
You lack a meaningful vocabulary.😂
@@alan4sure Thanks for taking care of my light work here Alan. That's why I don't par on the Friends of BS Facebook page.
Sweet 💙
This is NUTS!!!
Wow
The stevie ray vaughn of blue grass!!!
Great rendition, but lemme tell you, this song is waaaay older than the Osborne brothers
Is it really the Osbourne Brothers? I used to love the song because it had Little Ricky Skaggs singing....I like the ob too though.
You're better than Garth Brooks you know how to play believe me I love it the way you play awesome you're better than any country singer I know
Very good and I really like his music but no one can sing Ruby like Bobby
Damnnnn
Dude you done a exceptional job I'm impressed. I'm a huge Osbourne Brothers fan , they would be impressed with redo
Love it don't if daddy would have lol he would have loved it
❤️
Who'd win a wresting match, Billy Strings or God? Trick question. Billy Strings is God. Lol, best sticker ever made.
I notice an Axl Rose influence among others..so fun
