      He good, but he's nowhere near the top bluegrass picker. There are LOTS of bluegrass guitarists that stand right beside him and a lot of them are multi instrumentalists. Grammy awards don't mean much to bluegrass musicians. The IBMA carries much more prestige.

      Yeah, there's others who bring strong, traditional music to the stage, but Billy is the tip of the spear for evolution of the genre. This is exactly the man we want carrying Doc Watson's torch going into the future.

The first song I heard was "Turmoil & Tinfoil". Also liked "Meet Me At The Creek", "Dust In A Baggie" & "Watch It Fall". I recently saw a live performance on TV with Billy & his dad playing guitar together on stage that was really good.

    Billy is a force of nature! He takes traditional bluegrass he learned growing up, playing with his daddy Terry Barber, and gives it some sweet modern licks! The accompanists in this video are OK, but to me the better version of the song is when Billy and his band sang it at the Opry (video on YT). Couple other great Billy songs are 'Turmoil and Tinfoil' and 'Meet Me at the Creek' (best videos for these, for arrangement and performance, on the Music City Roots channel).

    Always reminds me of my family when I hear bluegrass. Sat through alot of playing sessions. Never for anything more than it was just a part of your life and just what you did. Family has always been just able to play any instrument. I didn't think it was anything special till I moved away and saw that it wasn't normal in most families. I just did what my family did. Just picked up the guitar and found it pretty easy or natural. Then it was Bass next was the mandolin and then banjo then harmonica. Mandolin is always fun to me though. Banjo for some reason I found to be the more difficult to learn but my grandpa excelled at it. None of us ever learned to read music or had lessons. There are alot of people like Billy Strings out there. You won't ever hear them though cause they never took it as something that could be capitalized on. They just like to play.

    Billy says this was based on a true story: Two of his friends in Michigan, the one with a car had given the other a ride, and the passenger (unknown to the driver) had an empty baggie fall out of his pocket. Some way or how, the police later had the driver in a stop, found the baggie, and the residue of dust it had tested positive for the first substance mentioned in the lyrics. The sentence wasn't 20, but pretty excessive given the amount.
