@@abramporras7877 I just watched a video last night where he sings dust in a room somewhere's. There was a dude standing to the side of him with long hair. Great performance. He was just lounging & someone asked him to play & he just up & ran with it.
@D D what is his name and why are they just now putting videos out or is someone just putting vids of him out. Thank you this is awesome I play but I wished I could buy some of his talent kid or man he is awesome and so I the guy trying his best to keep up
This dude is amazing. He’s got skills, an amazing voice, and his life experience oozes through his music. He’s going to be a huge star. He ain’t that bad to look at either. Just please don’t die at 27 🙏🏻
What blows me away is that he is a really good singer too! His pitch is dead on. Good ear and sings with passion. There are a lot of great guitarists that can not sing. There are some that sing decent. There are very few that sing well. He's even a good songwriter. That amount of talent is very rare.
And most likely no auto-tune like a lot of the artists these days. I would much rather listen to Billy Strings than any of the pop or hip-hop celebrities any day. He's got pure talent all the way around.
Dayyyyyyymmmmm Billy has picked a little nitch in my soul. Consider me picked to be fan. Billy you got something Divine shining down on you, and you give it to all of us through your playing and singing.
I knew Jack Bonus that wrote this. We lived in Stinson Beach by the Rowans, Grisman, Garcia, Commander Cody, etc. Jack told me that a hobo cursed him after he was mean to the hobo. How Jack hated that hobo! Well, Jack became that hobo, asleep out in the hall. He came and crashed at my house in Maine for a month. Last I heard, he died in a tent behind the Forest Knolls library. RIP Jack Bonus.
Thanks so much for this backstory. I first heard this done by my husband way back in the seventies, then we got the Old and In the Way Album and I never did look for who wrote this great song. So I've been scrolling down all these comments looking for the one wise soul who knows to share attributions. I am SO grateful! My husband's gone now to his peaceful rest. Love how music gives us time travel! And LOVE how Billy knows ALL the great songs! My son gifted me a listen to Billy and I am forever hooked.
We're so lucky to have vids like this. So good to see musicians playing great music. So real. Epic! Big respect, Billy, and thank you for posting these vids.
I've watched/shared this song nine thousand two hundred and thirty-three times... I wonder whatever happened to Don? What a duo. What joy this vid has brought to my life. Damn..
The talent level here is astronomical simply put, PERFECTION!! This is not by a long shot my favorite style of music BUT when it's done so right, so perfect it transcends what music style I like or not. Good music is Good music!!! Wow just Wow!!!!
Wow! You two just made me happy with your musical brilliance. Instantly added to my all-time favorite performances, and songs! This version is phenomenal. My god that was good!
This is like a family reunion for me my mother was from meeker Colorado and all of them would grab a jug and pick and sing anytime for any reason. Thank you I appreciate your talent.
This guy is better than 99 percent of people that are famous musicians!! Anyone that plays guitar or any instrument appreciates how talented he is. Share ur gift with the world Billy, show people the true level of talent,raw fuckn' talent! Keep up the good work and I hope to see you on TV and all over the world soon. I just shared ur music with a few of my musician friends and it blew them away!!
Damn Billy! I dont post, but F'n A bro! I haven't seen that kind of picking entertainment since Roy Clark! I can just imagine you teamed up with Allison Krauss & Bella' Fleck, and keep Don - he doesn't miss a lick! That would just blow my ever lovin' mind. Yes, I do believe that could get Ralph Stanley to rise from the grave! And every man, woman and child would climb shred mountain bare foot and without water just to get a listen! Sure would like to see that happen! Keep picking. RIP Ralph & Roy. And smile down on this new boy! EVEN MY DOG IS HAPPY!
Big guy is great! Little dude singing and teaching that guitar how to play will be the subject and definition of musical genius after and beyond this old world. My spirit feels better after experiencing this Billy Strings! Thank You.
Finally, some awesome music that hasn't been all dorked up. I wish I would have discovered you sooner. I love your voice and awesome talent with the strings. You sir, are going no where but up. Peace.
billys ability to tune the string on the fly shows his command of the instrument. Ive been playing the guitar for 28 years and billy has it not everybody does you can play as long as you want and will never have that thing he has...
AWESOME!, AWESOME!!, AWESOME!!! I wish there were this type of talent at all the bluegrass festivals I go too, keep-up the good work youngman, and thanks for sharing.

TH-cam pushed Dust In A Baggie. Now my face hurts from watching the rest of your videos. Thanks. Effin entertaining as hell!
Man, right?
Jeff Lafferty had to make an account just to post this .... yeah exactly... that same order, the almighty algorithm strikes again
Same here, one of the best recommendations I've had on TH-cam. I never knew I liked bluegrass/hillbilly music!
Same here
😂 same damn thing happened to me.
Damn I don't even listen to this type of music but now I do 10/10 bad ass
Check out dust in a baggie
@@jeffalbillar7625 yeah I went on a streak of his music dust in a baggie was pimp af I like where he in the basement better than his actual videos 😂

The video I am referring to is on this channel, lower standards. Real goid
Same man check out Jesse Stewart
2:14 was the smoothest string-tuning in the history of guitar
Saw that. Pro stuff knowing that it's the B string in particular that's out of tune at that speed and volume. Lawdy!
Hagrid and Harry's bluegrass for wizards
Rules 😆 best comment ever! 👏🏻
Don: “You’re a wizard Billy”
Billy: *in visible shock, plays this song.
Hog grass!
compare true wizardry to nonsense falsities.
Bluegrass wizards is an accurate description... these guys are definitely magic.
Everyone is focused on Billy, while Don is laying down some sick lines and chops! Two absolute pros.
Great players attract other great players.
Hat's off gentlemen. You are extremely talented kid....straight up talented! And that tuning on the fly was 👍
@D D what is his name and why are they just now putting videos out or is someone just putting vids of him out. Thank you this is awesome I play but I wished I could buy some of his talent kid or man he is awesome and so I the guy trying his best to keep up
At the filming of this video he was about 20
27 years old now
Excellent, amazing..
The 10 people that disliked this either dont know what damn good music is, or they are jealous! Plain and simple!😊
Dam straight he is brilliant
Billy Strings is a monster in his own right, but the gentleman on the mandolin is a beast too.
He’s no jarrod Walker son

Despite the fact that I’m from evil country of Russia, I’m so glad that I was lucky to find you guys! Your performances are so inspiring!
IDK who thinks Russia is evil, Russia is actually one of the few sane countries in the world at the moment.

Billy’s one of those once in a generation artists. Enjoy the ride
How on Earth this doesn't have hundreds of millions of views is beyond me...
That mandolin tho
That mans dolin tho
I just can't stop listening to Billy since discovering him a couple of days ago. This guy is amazing. Thank you for posting another great performance!
Absolutely Amaazazing!
Billy and Don are killin it!
Amazingly performaned 🤙👍
I LOVE THIS !!!! You need to tour . Really music . Still exists .
MuscleFuel Fitness Billy Strings has been touring non stop this year. Check him out
This is an old video. Billy has played the Opry
Just saw Billy strings Nov 1st in Carrboro NC. Fn awesome show. Love his new album, every damn song is 🔥
Bro he does
Oh my! I used to be sad that I was to young to have heard Jerry and old and in the way play this. Thank you! That was pure beauty!
The way he retunes his B string multiple times in the middle of the song... I just can't. I can't even. He's so crazy good.
That "What are you guys drinking over there" at the end made me go grab a beer lol
My speakers spontaneously combusted while listening to this...
Dayyyyyyymmmmm Billy has picked a little nitch in my soul. Consider me picked to be fan. Billy you got something Divine shining down on you, and you give it to all of us through your playing and singing.

The Grateful Brad damn, Im sorry man that’s pretty cool but sad
Thanks for the "back onfo" to that. I frequently wondered what the basis was for this song, Pizza n all
Thanks for the insight. I hope hes in a better place.
Cool, I’ve just known it from old & in the way.

Both should go on the road...Billy is amazing. My new idol....
Still one of my fav covers from Billy. Still trying to catch one live. Don has been a HUGE inspiration and mentor. Don’t stop, Billy.
He played it at the Metro in Chicago this past July..I put it on U Tube ..😊🤘
I've watched/shared this song nine thousand two hundred and thirty-three times... I wonder whatever happened to Don? What a duo. What joy this vid has brought to my life. Damn..
I can’t smash the thumbs up 👍 button any harder. This music needs to be global!
That was truly gorgeous your voice is amazing. Gave me chills the whole time.
Same here bro. This song and "watch it fall with me" are CRAZY

Excellent! I've always loved the "Old And In The Way" version. This is just as good & with fewer musicians! Thanks for posting.
I judge guitarists almost only on one thing. Their face when shredding that shit. Thanks for the dope song guys.
Kirk Hope horrible philosophy on judging guitarists abilities but ok
Kirk Hope let’s put this man on the map he is the truth
That's called effort.. sincerity..
Billy fuckin exudes intensity... Definitely makes it better
The energy and life in this song is intoxicating. Thanks!
Dude you're amazing! Voice is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is like a family reunion for me my mother was from meeker Colorado and all of them would grab a jug and pick and sing anytime for any reason. Thank you I appreciate your talent.
This dude would impress Ricky Scaags himself. This kid is 🔥
I would pay money to see that jam.
@D D 30 is a kid.
@D D He's 27...still a kid to those much older. What does it matter anyway.
Jeremy Wade it doesn’t mean a “rat’s ass” because he uses a pick to play, not a birth certificate.
Brilliant playing. Make country music great again.

Absolutely Awesome !!

When Billy took his hand off the guitar neck and wiped on his knee, all in the flow of playing, I nearly crapped!!!
Young BFS so frickin good.
Absolutely incredible
You should record Dust in a Baggie. When you're not at a party. I'm a fan
Jason Fernandez it’s been recorded lol he’s on his 3rd solo record lol

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Too late to feel sorrow
Too late to feel pain
He's just an old hobo
Sleep out in the rain
[Verse 2]
He'll never cause trouble
Don't have no fear
He's just an old hobo
And he'll soon be far away from here
[Chorus]
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
[Interlude]
[Verse 3]
Oh, don't make him ask you
Oh, don't make him beg
He was a war hero
And that's how he hurt his leg
[Verse 4]
He killed thirty injuns
With one cannon ball
He's just an old hobo
Asleep out in the hall
[Chorus]
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
[Interlude]
[Verse 5]
A wife and five children
Who live in L.A.
They miss their dear daddy
Who's gone so far away
[Verse 6]
They still have his picture
It's hung on the wall
He's just an old hobo
Asleep out in the hall
[Chorus]
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
He used to be a gambling man just like you
Until he sank so low there was nothing no one could do
God dam Billy leaving it all out on the floor with this one. I have been watching ever vid possible for a year and this is my favorite by far.
Made my day to see young people taking bluegrass to the next level. Amazing job!
Freaking genius on the strings!!! Love his acoustic and solo sessions best of all!
Holy Fuck !! Somebody better get you guys on a record label quick. That was fucking awesome. You two are bad ass.
