Is Billy Strings the future of bluegrass?
If you enjoyed the video, check out my reaction to Tyler Childers' Nose On The Grindstone: ua-cam.com/video/7-K5s6OkW7c/v-deo.html
Yes he is 100% check out turmoil and tinfoil. Or Tennessee stud
Billy can write the hell out of some prison songs. Also he looks younger than he Is. I think he's like 27 or something.
Now that you have the good headphones you have to listen to turmoil and the tinfoil live where he has the red sunglasses on. Dude crushes as you can tell
Also he used to be in a heavy metal band but went back his roots because of his papa
@@tdawg7408 Yeah I'm hoping to get to it in the next week or so!
I don’t wanna brag or anything… But I’m going to! Billy is my nephew and we are so proud of him. He’s real and genuine. His bandmates are equally incredible. So Billy used his last phone call to contact his daddy because he had to tell him that they just won a Grammy! Bluegrass album of the year baby! Look out for the new album being released soon! Unbelievable content on that album! And also Love his literary abilities when it comes to his songwriting! I love words and what I hear come out of my nephews mouth makes my jaw dropped sometimes. The way he’s able to convey his thoughts is remarkable! Enjoy him, love him, support him and make sure you see a live show because there’s nothing like a Billy strings live show!

You should brag, your nephew is just an absolutely incredible player. I haven’t felt that way about a player since watching Stevie Ray Vaughn for the first time or the band RUSH. Billy’s virtuosity is relentless. What a normal guy too, not full of himself and so approachable and kind from what I can tell. He’s midwestern, he’s real, he’s not made in New York or Hollywood. Congrats to Billy and your entire family on his deserving fame and fortune.
Amen!
I used to hate bluegrass growing up. But Billy has changed my mind. Thank you Billy
You’ve been “not bragging” on every single video about Billy. I call bullshit on your story
The thing I love about Billy's faces is that they seem to be a bit shocked by his ability. His faces say "damn, my fingers are doing this!"
Haha that's so true!
Turmoil and Tinfoil by billy is fantastic, but my favorite is his cover of Don’t Think Twice by Bob Dylan. His fingerstyle playing on that song makes me want to be a better man.
Really appreciate the suggestions Daniel! I'll add em both to the list and I bet his Dylan covers are ridiculous...
Turmoil and Tinfoil is my favorite of his, but I'll have to check that out!
Note that Billy flatpicks almost every note in his solos, with very few hammer-ons or pull-offs(none in this solo), even while playing fast. That's serious talent!
That's so insane. He's scary good!
All eighth notes, no time for mistakes. Precise
A lot of people don’t realize this, but yes it’s called flat picking, and it’s extremely hard to do at that speed!
Billy Strings has to be one of the finest bluegrass guitarists of this generation, his style and technical skill is unmatched imo. If you want another interesting country artist, take a listen to Colter Wall. Increbilbe voice on him, he's a Canadian kid from a small farm town in Saskatchewan
Yeah I think you're totally right! I've got multiple CW reactions on the channel. Here's The Devil Wears A Suit And Tie: ua-cam.com/video/T3Vs_nXWFuk/v-deo.html
Bluegrass≠country!!!
@@markchoi5777 this is bluegrass
I would have loved to see you react to the original video where Billy had just written the song. Still my favorite version, and you also have the famous Green-shirted hobbit.
LMFAO
I’m a big fan of “watch it fall” by billy strings
Yeah I got multiple people shouting it out. I'll get on it asap. Thanks Caleb!
Just incase anybody was interested:
Guitar - Billy Strings (William Apostol)
Banjo - Billy Failing
Mandolin - Jarrod Walker
Stand-up Bass - Royal Masat
Billy is awesome. On nugs.net he has a ton of live shows available for listening, does some awesome John Hartford covers, and covers of all different kinds of artists. I've heard covers of Black Sabbath, Post Malone, Johnny Winter and just a ton more.
I don't think I'll see a more talented guitarist ever, especially when it comes to flatpicking.
I really appreciate this Derek! I’ve been thinking about adding credits at the end of each reaction to shout out everybody on the project. I’ll check those out for sure though. Thanks bud!
This song hits right in the middle of my Appalachia heart
His solo version at the house party is my favorite version of this song.
I'm gonna have to check that out!
@@SongwriterReacts Let us know what you think when you do.
WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT A SONGWRITER REACTING TO A SONG
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not haha. Either way, I like it.
Billy is great I hope his every finger is insured for millions.he is a treat for the ears and a legend. I'm British and love his music and I love to hear"train train.".
3:54
When you paused, the hat in the background lined up near perfectly with Billy's guitar! 😂
Haha that's so true!
Meet me at the creek!!! is my fav Billy Strings song!!!!!
Added! Thanks!
Good one as well!
Billy Strings holds a huge part of my heart
I love the “Chris Thile who?” If I could play any instrument it would be the mando. Chris Thile is the best I’ve seen live. My best year of live music I saw 5 of the best mando players at intimate venues in a 3 month period. Chris Thile, Sam Bush, Sierra Hull, Ricky Skaggs, and Marty Stuart. I’d put Billy’s Mando player, Jarrod Walker, right up there along side these greats. Can’t wait to see Billy live for the 1st time.
You had me at, "Non-violent drug offenders".
you've gotta check out turmoil and tinfoil. so amazing
You got it Kennedey! Thanks so much for the recommendation!
My favorite!
For real it is really difficult for me to watch Billy Strings sometimes. I don't know who he sold his soul to, or what angel came and blessed his hands on the day he was born, but I've been playing guitar for 20+ years and not even a fraction of his talent.
I had to stop the video when you reacted to that intro because I was laughing so hard...
Amen, brother! END THE DRUG WAR!
It’s ruined so many families man. It boils my blood just to think about it...
@@SongwriterReacts Yeah, but this song is in reference to a friend who was busted at least once for meth.... While i agree the drug war on weed and maybe psychedelics sucks ass, meth is a whole nuther ballgame.... Speaking of which, you should see a real early performance of this song, when he was about 20.....

@@CorneiliusLibowitz If you're unfamiliar with the term, research "harm reduction."
@@scramblesthedeathdealer And how does this apply to my post?
@@CorneiliusLibowitz I don't know, but just locking people up for years doesn't seem to be solving the problem.
I'm not disagreeing that meth is on a whole next level, but there has to be a better way to deal with the problem.
summertime is awesome as well
Foxes and Fossils are a cover band but the ladies are outstanding. Harvest Moon is in a league of its own. Well worth a listen. Billy Strings and his band are also in a league of their own. Billy and his dad, Terry Barber live are incredible.
No doubt!
That was briliant 🥰
The best version of this song IMO is the original video of Billy when he was only 19 or 20 years old sit'n on the couch playing/singing solo
My favorite Billy Strings track is Highway Hypnosis, very different Bluegrass track
Added to the list. Thanks Nate!
Just found your channel, great reaction!! Everytime I hear this song I want to yell like the old blind man on "Brother , Where Art Thou?"
"Whooooo*WHEEE!!!* That's some mighty fine a'pickin' and a 'singin!"
New sub from me!
I like Thunder. Unrecorded song from Robert Hunter was entrusted to Billy Strings to bring to life.
We call it a STANK FACE, you should really see them in concert, they're Grammy winners now.
Dude, must be seven… must be my favourite track right now, please give 3:29 of your life to hear its majesty.
I love Billy Strings, there a really great video of him doing Summertime with Marcus King. Have you listened to any of The Dead South?
Man I bet the two of them together is insane. Can't wait to hear that!
Nope, can't say that I have...
I love him. Reminiscent of The Darlins from Andy Griffith (The Dillards)
💥
Thanks Aaron!
Billy is the next legend, hope you're having better go of things today , Marcus King is another young phenomenon that is amazing. Dyin is a instant classic especially when you consider the original master who wrote it
Yeah man. His abilities at his age are just slap ridiculous. Can’t wait to see where his music takes us all. Love me some MK too!
Things are much better round here. How you holding up bud?
@@SongwriterReacts Now mind you I'm their age and I am blown away by what some people can do with their time. I'm doin well brother trying to stay away from the news lol. Glad you're feelin good. I am also not a big bluegrass fan so this is a rare gem. More of a blues man myself
@@Morningstar818 same here man! Any good blues stuff I should be checking out?
@@SongwriterReacts well that depends on what era we talkin sir because unfortunately blues is a underground sound once more. But check out anything by two young ladies in a duo called larkin poe. Blues for the new generation. Steeped in the past. And RL Burnside just to go back in time. 44 pistol, my gary clark recommendation from the last one is just as good so you pick can't go wrong with any of em
@@Morningstar818 That name sounds super familiar. Look forward to it!
That is some serious talent on that stage! (Insert Bassist joke here) Kdding of course, I’m a bassist but love the jokes!
I love the song you just listened to. I think you should hear Turmoil& Tinfoil as well as a song that he did with Tommy Emmanuel, he did the song guitar boogie. As you can imagine after hearing Billy play this song his performance with guitar boogie was incredible and Tommy Emmanuel is awesome too
Got it high up on the list. Thanks!
Taking Water is a great tune
Billy strings is a great talent in modern music for sure! Have you checked out Noah kahan? Anything off sick season like northern attitude, homesick? Great song writing
"Don't think twice" is probably more of your style. You will catch yourself humming it all day!
Already got ya covered Brian! ua-cam.com/video/hlM1lOUaKaQ/v-deo.html
that guitar needs a hit from that baggie after doing his solo 😂
You checkout any jazz fusion? I would recommend looking into Snarky Puppy and Ghost-Note
As crazy is this metal grass is it's only three chords in G.
I’ve never heard you say slay 😂😂
My students are rubbing off on me too much!
3:54 The guitar goes 3D and pokes out the bottom. I had to rewind to check if I was seeing things right.
Shoutout to Josh Pray! He's great
Try taking Water that's my favorite of the newer album Home.
Wish I could play this fast
meet me at the creak, great tune to pick
Right on, thanks Bradley!
Away From the Mire > Long Forgotten Dream
You got it! Thanks for the suggestion!
Great reaction as always. If you want to hear some heavy content music with a great sound check out Arlo McKinley from Cincinnati Oh. He plays a lot in Kentucky as well and is good friends with Tyler Childers. Another note on Arlo, he is the last signee to Prine’s Jonboy records. Great country, Americana sound with some heavy lyrics.
Really appreciate ya C! That is exactly what I want to hear! Can't wait to check it out and thanks for the recommendation bud!
By the way, any particular song I should start with?
Bag of pills is one of his singles off his new album Die Midwestern. It’s a pretty good song but honestly about anything from Arlo I think you will enjoy.
The banjo players name is Billy Failing, he is my banjo teacher.
Well tell Sir Billy I said he's unbelievable and to keep on keeping on!
I checked out your page and a couple of Billy's you really need to react to are "Taking Water," another Dylan-esque song and "While I'm Waiting Here."
Also check out Molly Tuttle, who has performed with Billy numerous times. She reminds me a lot of young Nanci Griffith. Try "Take the Journey" or "Good Enough."
What part of Mississippi you from? Region wise for safety reasons lol
Lived most of my childhood in Brookhaven and now we live in Clinton!
Love Billy ! here's his unseen pedestal of roots (49) Trying Not to Love You - UA-cam
ua-cam.com/video/kT5nU3kT24E/v-deo.html
The thing is... this is slow and short by billy strings standards. I've been watching him since I saw him with Don Julin when he was a teen and everything since then is face melting. So hard to choose something to recommend.
Howdy y'all! since i know that many people here are into some good ass music and i'm kinda new to country and bluegrass i just wanted to ask if anyone can recomend me some good musicans and songs? (i'm like zach bryan, billy strings and moreland)
sorry for spelling i'm not american
Check out highway hypnosis by billy strings
Will do and thanks!
Check out “Watch it fall”
Bro he's not talking about weed, talking about legalizing it 😆 dude he is talking about crank. Haha
On two and four is the same pulse as be bop.
If you want to see some ridiculous guitar playing....Train, train at the Muddy Creek Music Hall by Billy Strings is amazing. Long, but amazing!
I'm so down! Thanks for the shout H T!
Twenty something year old musicians with fifty years of talent.
Playing fast and staying up late, Billy Strings style.
I’d love to see some reactions to Trampled by Turtles, those boys can play
You got it John! How the Griz looking this year?
On the up and up, majority of new talent, so there is a lot of potential and sounds good brother!
@@johnrikard123 Gonna be a fun year to watch them for sure!
Please listen to Graveyard Johnny Fast, you won't be disappointed!
Hey Burt! Billy put out a new song this past summer. Since you like Americana, this song is a little less Bluegrassy and leans a bit towards Americana. I love the tune and the video captures some beautiful American scenery. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/y97gX9QSwZk/v-deo.html
Can't wait to check it out! Thanks so much Alison!
That's just Billy's face shocked at what his fingers are up to>
Billy Strings - Turmoil & Tinfoil.
Doc Watson meets Alice in Chains.

He calls it newgrass
Love that haha!
Have you heard Black Sheep by Poor Man's Poison? You should take a listen.
React to bad habits by Corey James grubb
Not weed dust.. Met / Coke dust... This methamphetamine has got a damn good hold on me... "Tweaker friends"
Then you see the pot leaf in the back

Turmoil and tinfoil
U a songwriter? U want to compare? I will anytime been writing 25 years don't care about fame just want it to be heard
Let them out of prison
Oooo son i aas just watching cuz i like billy but then you hit them politics and amen. America the "most free country" with one of the highest non violent populations in the world its a bit paradoxical dont ya think?
