Both You guys have Such Incredible Gift's , Healing Hearts & SouL's Threw Song 🎵 🎶.
Billy is a true bringer of music through his heart and talent bringing these songs to a new generation - i heard Emmylou Harris sing this when i was in my 20s back in the 70s a sad story relevant today i am afraid ❤
This dude is on an entirely different level, whoever is reading this please for the love of god tab this and do a tutorial on this. This shit deserves it.
Billy does the one thing that most Jerry/Deadheads don't realize that Jerry did. Forget the tye dyes, long solos, drugs, etc. Jerry learned songs. He knew 100s. Most Deadheads I know are still playing Me and My Uncle or Scarlet. But bluegrass (like jazz) is a style where you have to learn songs and melodies. Jerry started there and never looked back. Billy's got the same thing. Both dig deep and played killer B-cuts... like this one.
This Townes Van Zandt song was hardly considered a B side for anyone that cut it, as far could see , it's been a hit song for others, and should be a hit for Billy. I thoroughly agree with you on Billy, the caveat being that he finds great songs by great writers.
This is no B-cut, it’s an amazing CLASSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Jerry and you are right about him, but you obviously haven’t been educated enough about music, start listening and learning before ever calling Pancho and Lefty a B-cut, it just shows your ignorance, sorry man, but my words are truth. Do you also think Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Willy Nelson or any of the many musicians who have covered Townes Van Zandt B musicians??? Themselves fighting words.
This was beautiful. And made me have flashbacks of my love for Jackson Browne while I was growing up. So I'm off to see if he's put out any new music recently. Thank you.
This is soooooooooo good and having said that you cant outdo country music GOATS Merle and Willie. I mean thats just not fair but really enjoyed this version.
The only reason they recorded P&L, is Willy and Merle needed one last song to finish their album, Willy’s daughter brought him a copy of Emmylou Harris (and Rodney Crowell) covering TMZ and Willy said “That’s the song!”, It was 3am but Willy woke Merle up and made him record it immediately and yes it went to #1!
The time it takes to build up the finger isolation in order to play it as subtly beautiful as Townes does just makes this look 1 step above amateur and 2 steps beneath Townes.
Imho the way BMFS reinterprets the guitar part for flatpicking enhances Townes' original masterpiece. Billy probably doesn't have better vocals than Emmylou Harris or Jason Isbell (no offense intended, that's a tall order), but the melancholic beauty of his instrumental chord progressions is second-to-none amongst any version of Pancho and Lefty I've ever heard, and elevate it (for me) to the best version of this song in existence.
The Federales did NOT let Pancho “slip away” in verse 2, and Lefty in 4. If you care about TVZ get the lyrics right… not Willie (great case his rendition is…)

Townes is smiling ❤❤❤
Townes would be proud.
Billy is all the best artists of the last 70 years rolled into one doobie
Billy's version of "Pancho and Lefty" is my favorite since Emmy Lou Harris covered this classic ... I love it!!!
A phenom. A blues/folk/country phenom. I want to see him at least once.
Nice one. I have been covering that song for more than 45 years.
Hope you don’t use “slip away” in 3 verses: please use the original lyrics-they matter to the story.
My favorite song by my favorite songwriter TVZ, I just adore Billy Strings, he if the future of music, IMHO.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

a sad story relevant today i am afraid ❤
Beautiful! I love this melody and Billy's doing it very good!
one of my favorites, thx for sharing this friend! stay lifted.
out of kindness I suppose...
Michigan proud . . . Lovely guitarwork . . . banjolike ❤ With a last name of STRINGS to boot . . .
Love Billy Strings he can play any thing!! BMFS🐐
Great cover of a great tune, Mr. Strings put his stamp on it.
Billy sure is and exceptional talent! Such talent is so special to listen to! Peace, Charles
Im sure Towns is up there patting his legs GOD bless keep it up Billy
Beautiful
I love when he grabs the OM for a solo number
Yes.

Agree, but you should listen to Townes. HE's the real deal!
Why you need the tab when you got something better here? You can slow down the speed and not only listen but see exactly how he plays it
No kidding Townes is incredible. It just makes it easier with the tab my dude, the video is a bit choppy-no hate just love man, good to all.
It's nice but I was disappointed he didn't fingerpick it like Townes.
It's fairly ordinary strumming and picking. If you can play guitar to a level of accompanying yourself you should beable to do this without tab...
Brill~
💚🎶
Great song
Wow amazing ❤

great
Love it. Nowadays if I take a big old pull off fatty I just end up staring at my guitar trying to remember what I was going to play….

Merle and Willie didn't write this song.
@@brmahoney27 never said they did. I know Townes Van Zandt wrote it but come on now, Merle and Willie are the ones known for it.
@@brmahoney27Most people know that. So what?
The only reason they recorded P&L, is Willy and Merle needed one last song to finish their album, Willy’s daughter brought him a copy of Emmylou Harris (and Rodney Crowell) covering TMZ and Willy said “That’s the song!”, It was 3am but Willy woke Merle up and made him record it immediately and yes it went to #1!

Dang, no exhale - baller
🩵🩵💙
All the Federales say
Ya need to play this fingerstyle way
I guess Billy gets away...
Cause he's brilliant I suppose
Hahahaah
This guy ain’t half bad!

Blah blah blah
Ease up on the smoking, looks bad on your videos.
Billy is a recovering meth addict. He's playing with fire by smoking pot.
"don't be yourself"
O he should be chopping lines
@@mattfoley2315 So, you wish to see Billy relapse? Nice guy...
It's practically legal everywhere you go. Loosen up a little geeze
Tbh overpicked in my opinion it's a simple song
sorry but so sick of thus dude he is out of his depth. van zandt was a genius
