You were right about the betrayal, but as someone said, it was drugs surrounding him, hence the song title and the turmoil created with the instrumental section. He escaped all of this when he was a teenager. It's worth knowing his history before you go down his huge rabbit hole. Thanks for appreciating him and the band. PS a fiddle player has now been added to the band. ❤
@@icemanheatboy1 Yes, you were off, but not entirely... The part about the 'chick" cheating on him, yes, but the rest of it is pretty much on point. But i can definitely see how it could be interpreted the way you did.... And in a way, his mom being on meth while he was growing up did cheat him out of a stable childhood.... It's worth your while to read up on his back story....
Billy is a good songwriter, which is an addition to most bluegrass music. Bluegrass is based mostly around the instrumentation with very little emphasis on lyrics. Except for base, all instruments in bluegrass are a lead, solo instrument. The stand-up however on some tunes, will take over a solo for several measures...
The is the song that got me hooked on Billy long time ago.
Same here ❤

That's insane thanks for letting me know. And I would look into the artist but I like learning from you guys, makes it more interactive 😁
Glad you listened. Please check out Billy with Molly Turtle live at Red Fox singing Little Maggie.
Thanks for watching 🙏 I'll definitely check it out
It's about his mother who was on meth...doing rails on Tinfoil will make you pale
Oh no way, that's rough. I was way off
