- Strings does his best Gregg Allman growl as lead vocalist and also adds an intricate solo on his acoustic, before King - the leader of his namesake Marcus King Band - steps in with a fluid electric solo of his own. - RollingStone.com
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-on-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
Running on (running on empty)
Running on (running blind)
Running on (running into the sun)
But I'm running behind
Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it, with what you do to survive
In sixty-nine I was twenty-one and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on
Running on (running on empty)
Running on (running blind)
Running on (running into the sun)
But I'm running behind
Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I don't know about anyone, but me
If it takes all night, that'll be all right
If I can get you to smile before I leave
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I don't know how to tell you all just how crazy this life feels
Look around for the friends that I used to turn to to pull me through
Looking into their eyes, I see them running too
Running on (running on empty)
Running on (running blind)
Running on (running into the sun)
But I'm running behind
Honey, you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around, but I'm running behind
(Running on) You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
(Running blind) Running into the sun, but I'm running behind

..... should have been the half time ... super bowl... but people are not ready for talent... sadly....
Now that would have been amazing!
Preach brother
He doesn’t have the $$$ yet. Super bowl is a pay to play event. Artists don’t get paid for it, they pay to play for the exposure. Their downloads and streams go through the roof after playing. Record companies try to outbid each other every year for their artists to have a chance to play.
EXACTLY!!!!🤙🏼🫵🏼
The National Felon's League is not worthy of his presence....
I'm 58 and I feel 17 listening to Billy Strings. Something activates in the right hemisphere of my brain and my soul smiles. Thanks, Billy.
Strings. Like on a guitar. Strings.
Well I'm 71 and want rock out listening to him.
I'm 41 and same as. Brill8ant
Billy activates both my hemispheres!
That's better than a ribeye steak with a baked potato! 👍😎👍
Marcus king with billy don't get any better. Both the new beginning
Scott Trexler
These young men are killing it... Saw Duanei1969, and he'd be clapping the loudest!!!
The new beginning, the bridge to these Young guns is Charlie Starr and BBS along with TTB and The Mule.
@@GaryBeals charlie is the real deal u ever heard of preacher stone
Marcus KING and Billy! Simply the best.
King & Strings! It's like Jack n coke, Bread n butter, Duane n Gregg!!!
This does my heart good to see another generation appreciating the songs that defined my life. Thank you.
Well said Don
Amen - the future of music is in good hands, you just need to know where to find it (it's sure as hell not on the radio).
And played with so much heart!
Those songs defined a couple generations..now the new songs we hear define this shit show 2020
well stated good sir. the days of the good ole jam bands may not be to gone after all
These boys are the keepers of the flame. Billy may be that once in a generation kind of talent. Praying for the spirits to watch over them...
Me 2
Same.
❤❤❤
Marcus too.
I feel that way exactly, when I heard him do So Many Roads I cried and laughed at the same time
Marcus on the Tele just absolutely slaying everything. Holy shit that tone! And Billy is a nothing less than a flat picking god. Two of the best talents to come out in a long time
First time I've noticed Marcus playing a Tele ... he almost always seems to be playing that red 345.
@Billy Strings official bro you’re a legend, keep on blessing us with your art my dude. We’re lucky to have ya
FACTS 💯
This is very much true!
Doesn’t know the words, sucks
Stay healthy Billy. Ride this bad boy journey to the top. Then be nice.
Some of the sagest advice dispensed , were just visiting celebrate the gift it’s going to be a helluva ride
Then S T A Y nice! 😉🙂
Good advice..stay away from social media.the world is full of shit including me...
Stay healthy! No man is too great to let others care for him, it goes both ways.... I believe that is what Jerry would say! From my lengthy observations... seems to hold true... peace all!
@@nickanderson8938
Just got FB hacked...
Will miss the Billy String Group... ditched it all....
Reminds to always be kind, what I think might be funny? Not so much...
We all need a big hug and a joint... then let’s all go play nice... rusty water or not!☮️🍭
A lot of talk about how great their guitar playing is, but both of these guys have unique old-school, clean, soulful vocals, too. Super band.
I feel like this is what it must have felt like watching Marshall Tucker or the Allman Brothers live. You just don't realize how good it is until it's gone.
No you don't and yes it's just like watching them I can still hear fire on the mountain enjoy these boys are on fire
I seen the Allman Brother's perform at the Georgia Jam about 22 years ago along with The Doobie Brother's and Skynyrd, it was a Great Show, my Brother and I seen Greg Allman using a payphone and went up to talk to him, we asked the obvious question" You're Greg Allman Right? I had just seen him in the movie Rush and I had no doubt it was him, he didn't respond but the 7 foot tall man standing next to him who was obviously his body guard responded for him and said that's not Greg Allman fellas, we could tell he didn't want to be bothered and we didn't want to bother him so we just walked away but it would have been nice to get a autograph maybe I'll try again if I see him up in Heaven, FLY HIGH FREEBIRD🙏
@joe Recto Better yet go to a show!
All is illusion. How long were the Allman brothers together before duane died? 3 years?
@@thegeorgiacreekwalker491 people who r 2 good? to acknowledge their fans can look elsewhere 2 sell their mdse. and concert tickets. They can just Fuck off...
One of the BEST shows I've ever witnessed..in my life. At DelFest late night till 3:45 AM..on my birthday, under a mushroom cloud
Billy Strings is the " man who saved music" as far as I'm concerned! You don't see his generation having his musical knowledge & the talent he & his band display! BSB is my new favorite band which puts him/ them in the company of The Allman Brothers & the Grateful Dead ,... He deserves to be in the room with them & I know they ( Jerry Garcia, Gregg & Duane Allman would of loved to jam with Billy!! Keep up the awesome job y'all do BS band!!!!!
I Met Billy in Kansas not too long ago about 3 weeks maybe. Got to sing for him and play some music with him. He was unbelievably kind and humble I'm so glad he's getting the recognition he deserves!!
Wow!
My kiddos grew up with him . He's as great now as then on the riverbank.
@@nomadnana5565 how amazing that’s so awesome!
Only found Billy this year, F’n Wow. Amazing
Love everything he does. ❤
Seems only natural to have a throwback to one of the greatest country-rock bands in history with Billy's cover of Midnight Rider! Absolutely nailed it, vocals and all!😄🎵🎶
Billy Strings and Marcus King - the future of rock n roll!
Definately!
Thumbs up is too weak.. should be like a big heart button
who else remembers sticking in this cassette with a cooler full of beer and a doobie ...heading up to the woods/mountains ...
I remember, because I did it last weekend.
Sadly I had the 8 track..
Yep, just the other day in fact!
@@gwag8410 haha, yeah they were the worst, I had a bunch
..... always partial to purple barrel..... hahahaha hahahaha 😂
Two good dudes neither one show stealers. Just humble respect and love for what they do and sharing their souls with us!
@Billy Strings official thanks for reply. If you ever get to north central Indiana let's go catch some bass. I'll take you out
That comes from this tribe. Just play and partay.
Being younger than Billy and older than Marcus, I can now officially say that my age has absolutely nothing to do with my skill level. I think these 2 and Molly Tuttle are slowly becoming some of my favorite guitar players of all time. I'll be damned if they don't wanna make you pick up the guitar yourself.......... Keep it up fellas, I'm dragging way behind but I'm with you!
Hoping to see Billy and his great band at Merlefest.. Glad to see and hear about the influence of Doc Watson on this great young talent....
Dude I've been playing for 30 years and I'd be hurting to keep up with these boys
slowly?? :)
Wow, simply WOW!! Never stop Billy Strings and friends. This world today needs you and the music you bring 💯
America’s two great young pickers , a Smokin band , and great interpretations of classic songs . It doesn’t get much better than this folks.
The covid kid.
I remember getting dust in a baggie in my YT feed. Went from 10k to 100k in months. Yr later kids won a Grammy. Plays with the Dead.
The quarantine quartet. Slaying it.
There should be a law passed that these two do an album together.
Definately!
I believe that kid could play a baseball bat!
Copy that...
Hey guys- When I first saw this I was half in half out of my death pit. This is one of the videos that helped me climb out! Thank you all!🙂❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🙏✌️🤘🕊🦋.
This has been one of my favorite memories that has gotten me through the past year! Keep climbing the best is yet to come! ❤❤❤🙏🎶🎶🎶
Resurgence of true American music... Country music is dead. Thank you Billy Strings for saving our traditions..
2019 Guitar player of the year, and also new artist IBMA winner! Billy Strings!
Billy...Marcus ..and ..thankfully ..a whole bunch of “ new guns “ .are here to stay . How about we all just sit back and enjoy them 😎🎸
This.
Ed Petrik Damn straight!
We need these young bucks....all my hero's are leaving me one by one.
Sierra Ferrell
I remember back in the 90s thinking that great music was gone forever. I’ve never been more happy to be wrong.
There's not many cooler scenes these days than Marcus King tenderly caressing a Telecaster, uplit, with a gentle breeze flowing through his ginger locks.
These kids do a great job of respecting the legacy and making it modern. Generational talents.
Where do you buy those guitars with no bad notes on them? Mine all have bad notes here and there! 😉
🤣🤣🤣
Dang ! I was 18 again for a few minutes tonight ! Thank you boys , ya'll did my ole heart some good !
Two great young guitarists. They haven't hit their ceilings yet, either!
they'll hit their ceilings when they realize less is more. Long, fast, flashy solos aren't the spirit of this song. Talented, beyond words though
That's the best cover of Running on empty I have ever heard and I really like Jackson Browne's original version.
Waiting for Billy to make his way down here to southeast Georgia one day. I will miss a day of work to go see this young man live.
Running on Empty is a big part of the soundtrack of my life, thanks Billy and crew, so good, I love Billy Strings. A week ago today, we got to see Billy Strings at the Outlaw Festival at the Gorge!! Just beautiful, I hope to see Billy lots more!!!!!! ❤️✨🔥❤️👏🌟❤️ Hell yes, Midnight Rider is one of my favorites too, it is exquisite.
I don't need to talk about how bright Billy shines on them strangs. Can we talk about those perfect vocals though? My goodness! He really does justice to anything he takes on.
...and bro on the Tele is smokin!
Billys covers always does the original artists Justice!
And what about Hunters "Thunder"!?
That's Marcus King on the Tele... the man
My current favorite artist Billy Strings covering one of my all time favorite songs. I love music
Billy, Marcus King, and a few other young people make me feel good about the future.
Makes me glad that our 9 grands will have some decent music to help them get thru
God blessed those two boys with the awesome gift of music and I'm glad that they, and their bandmates, are continuing to spread the love of playing and making music to the world. It warms my heart to see younger people with such a passion for their craft
God bless these two young musicians playing the songs that are cornerstones of this thing of ours! Rock, blues, bluegrass and country to name a few.
this is God given talent at the next level,these guys will go down in bluegrass history as some of the best to ever play the music.God bless y’all guys 🙏🇺🇸
I died and went to Music Heaven.... Thank you.
I was born in 1950. Billy Strings is the condensation of my musical being in the Now.
rationalguy Born In ‘56 here. These guys a crushing it!
I'm right here with ya guys !
Marcus certainly didnt need the help, but it was nice to see these two work together. That was amazing.
Edit: Billy set him up for an epic solo. It was amazing.
... Gregg Allman.. Jackson Brown..hung out ..LA.. I believe in the 70's
.. Strings.. King.. incredible..actually
.. far out man..!
This is why you go to Delfest
How this song "Running On Empty" brings to Me some wonderful memories of my Teenage Years and the Great 70's Bands on Burt Sugarman's "Midnight Hour". Very Happy facing "60" for I had "my' Dream, and I did it ! Rock n Roll back then had just a healing, up-lifting Aura to it ( that I don't see/feel in Today's Music).. It's just a "Ball N Chain" that only the" Pearl" could do at Monterey. and She really put her heart in Soul into that song.
Smoking hash and jamming to mr. Strings. Tell me. Does it git better than that?
Maybe just maybe these boys was sent by them southern boys upstaIrs to revive that sound we loved durin’ all of the 70’s Like Duane Betts/Devon Allman and that bunch….Roll Gypsy Roll!
Billy and Marcus are both huge talents in their own right and to see them play together, and playing off each other's guitar is a rare treat. A guitar or cadence slip by either of these two while playing live is golden.
Thanks for posting this. These guys are the real deal. If you havent seen them play, your missing something in your life
Steven Berard seen them both but not together....yet!
Both of their music gives me optimism for the future of good music not going to trash. Looking forward to growing old with these guys.
Indeed it certainly does!!!
I know ! There IS hope===there is someone to "fill the shoes" after all.
Kaylie Barker I’m already 75, these guys make me smile and tap my foot!
@@aabce11235 👍
Wow! Did they just burn through Running On Empty or what? Absolutely fantastic!!
We are getting quality music we haven’t seen in a very long time. Just sit back and enjoy it!!!
FACTS 💯
It's rare a thing (well actually two rarities) One: two lead guitarist of this caliber on the same stage at the same time. Two: how Billy and his band always, at least, every live performance I've seen (it's hard to put into words) but, I'll say generate so much energy strictly through the passion for what they and their musicianship you really don't notice there's no percussions at all. They epitomize that old saying... "You'll love what we do because we do what we love" you can almost literally feel that sentiment when they're playing.
Billy has gotten so much better with his vocals.....great phrasing. I see he is using an ear piece now.
David Kennedy you don’t really need an ear piece or to try that hard if you stick to what you’re good at. Bluegrass.. his voice was amazing. Now it’s just below average whether anyone wants to admit it or not. Amazing musician but he’s allowed the industry to force change. Be more popular/relatable. I’ve followed him since day one and it’s extremely clear what’s going on. He’s been singing country lately and has the fakest twang I’ve ever heard and doesn’t flat pick at all anymore hardly
@@weenfain2321 This is an absurd comment from beginning to end. Get out of here with that bullshit.
Ween Fain
THANK YOU !!!!!!!!
That’s what I said.
This is better than the rest of what’s going on today but he was best in his natural environment.
The early videos. I love country, classic rock, old time blues and bluegrass.
He’s best at hillbilly music
@@weenfain2321 yea they said this guy neil young had a terrible voice he should stay in his lane lmao your thinking of it way deeply its about feelin the music and havin a good time.
@@robinhood480 @Ween Fain Imagine someone being able to comment on your careers like you are with BIlly, with such arrogance. What do you think they'd say?
This kid has been doing this for a while now but I’m betting he is gonna be around for a long time.
Artists like these boys are the keepers of the flame plus they know how to make their own fire.
Good music for an old man.
Great to see people of my generation honoring some of the best rock and roll ever made. Marcus King can shred
Hey goats Billy won a Grammy
These two are such awesome individual talents. This was the first time I've seen them play together. I'm so glad they found the same stage and performed on it for whatever reason. Because this was friggin' MAGIC! Neither of them seemed like they were trying to 'cut heads'. They were just enjoying playing! I hope they play together often in the future. It was an honor for me to hear these two perform together, even though it's just on a TH-cam video.
I love this band because of the talent, the melodies and the stories… most of all the natural percussion created is easy on the ear.
Wow, Marcus crushing it on (the brief) lead. What a talent.
Billy Strings. You are gonna go places, my friend!
They both make such GREAT music, but when they are together, OUTSTANDING !!
These two. AMAZING! Love hearing and watching them perform together. Really careful watching and listening going on there between players awesome to see!
I am beyond impressed with this young man… I haven’t seen talent like this in many years.
Rock on, Billy! ✌️
Billy and Marcus are the hope for a return to actual music. Fantastic talent!
big money...double ear closed monitors...really...i don't want to here Mr. Strings constrained...cat's got wings, and a jet engine...let'em do it without a net...as they used to say...get off the man's jock...he's got it...
Yup, agree.
Well said Channing
Billy String is pretty f"@*in amazing. Can pick the life out of a Guitar and has the Voice of an Angel
Marcus gets a perfect sound from every guitar he plays.
Damn these boys can PLAY..!!.!.! Sounds so good...✌️☮️✌️
Watched as Billy's vocals have matured over the past few years...but for me...it's still all about Strings strings.💙
there are no words for how good this was...
The Futures so bright ..I leave the shades open for music like this.. Brilliant gentlemen..
I'm so glad I decided to dig into this dude's stuff~~an amazing talent. So damn good.
God damn I gots to make to DelFest someday. This shit is off the hook
A 4-pack ! ! fully Gratefull B Strings & M King @-{(~)Two of the best doing Two of my favorite songs
I know! Love it!
Something special about Billy & Marcus together
Its magic!🔥
@@MojoMusicMediatheir duets in the guitar shop are legendary already. But, Jackson Browne to ABB mannnnn they was on one that night!😅
@@gjb2379 YES! It was incredible!😀
Damm Billy can sing too
this performance is so clean and easy . the stand up bass is just flawless!
Marcus has got this country version of Slash thing going on.
Thank you for keeping this music alive, guys. 👍🏻
Holy Shit.
Greg & Duane would be proud you did this song!
Hey Billy, 2020 Beartrap Summer Festival. Try and get on the roster if we are past this Covid mess. We’d love to have you and Marcus King Band!
I dearly LOVE this new generation appreciating our music from the 70's and 80's!
..... make sure your at 2020 gray fox bluegrass festival..... Billy and Molly....
Takes beyond a confident man/woman to cut all the amps
DAMN!!! Billy Strings is legit, guy can bring it, like to catch him live sometime. I stumbled upon him about 6-7 months ago and I get more impressed every video I watch, Molly and him doing Little Maggie is epic ... It also looks like I am a Marcus King fan now, great to see the young generation doing great music.
rocdarjar gm I saw him in Raleigh NC. Small hot club. It was an unbelievable experience!
@@patrickdean8360 Awesome ... I keep trying, but his dates sell out quick. My daughter lives in Denver and told me about a show, she would fly me out and we would do the show, I looked, dates were sold out before they went on sale!!! I might have to do a festival, I would so much prefer a small venue.
Wish I'd have been there. It definitely deserves more than just a single "Thumb Up".
So awesome singing guys, you sound great! I love it! Sentiments! God Loves You! Be safe!
"Who's Gonna fill their shoes, Who's Gonna stand that tall".... I think we found some of them Mr. Jones ! Memories of Dickie Betts and Duane Allman when I listened to this.
I was there for this front row. My favorite late night at delfest ever. Been going since the first. Killed this
It was an amazing day and night! But they all are at delfest😀
This is what you call a band “firing on all cylinders”.
So when is the King of Strings. Or Strings and King tour gonna start
Found out about Marcus through Billy. Those covers they did in that guitar shop are incredible. This is just as incredible. Marcus is a freaking monster. He's like Warren Haynes with a tad more country in his style. Perfection I tell ya. Perfection.
When midnight rider kicked in the goose bumps on my arms turned to cactus tree.
Love your description! I know that feeling!❤
How does he make that acoustic sound like an electric.
I hope these relationships are forever.
Billy and Marcus keeping the music alive ✊
This dude is incredible. Hope all his dreams come true.
