- Billy Strings performs the Osborne Brothers' "Ruby (Are You Mad At Your Man)" on 3/15/22 at the grand opening of Roadrunner in Boston, MA. Audio by Casey C.
I’m sure Bobby Osborne was smiling 😊 when he heard this cover of Ruby. Billy gives much love and respect to the legends . Very cool!!!!!❤
I saw the Osborne brothers in 1967 near my hometown of Norman Oklahoma at the first bluegrass festival in 1967 when I was eight years old. They did Rocky Top!
Respect ✌️
Some of the finest mandolin work you'll ever see
Billy is keeping the old songs, the true country& bluegrass alive. God bless this young fella!
It's summertime when I'm hearing this and these boys are surely cutting the grass excellent excellent excellent !!! Keep on cutting from Farmersville Ohio
I was there. This concert changed my life.
Where did he play? I’m from Brookline but haven’t been home for years
@@sabrinaevans8746 He opened up a brand new venue called roadrunner. It's gnarly
rest in peace bobby and sonny. the music is in good hands.
Geee Billy, what can’t you not do!! Spectacular dude!
I've been watching Billy on yt since he arrived. It's unbelievable to watch him develop on UA-cam. Go get it Billy strings. I love ruby.
Now imagine how good sounds... not on youtube. Go see him on tour!
This band has real charisma and a virtuoso guitarist at the helm they could really be something special for years
Top line musicians , all.
I was singing this song at the age of 3, my Dad can vouch for that one. Billy is just a beast, period!
How great to have a debate about who did a better version of this song. Until Billy Strings came along, Ruby and the Osborne Brothers were loved by a small bunch of old-timers like me. Welcome home to great old music, kids! Follow Billy the Apostle!
Billy Strings is amazing as he has been for years, and the band are, too. Great harmonies, especially at the end!
Love Billy’s showmanship and entertaining in the spirit of Roy Clark, the intimate contact with his audience while killing his instrument and just having fun while he displays the artistry and skills few ever put in the work to achieve. Well done to Billy and the band, they follow his lead well. So good! 🔥🙌🏼🤗🎯👏🏼
Roy Clark was a killer Showman and Musician!!!!
Roy Clark is a good comparison
lol Roy Clark is a horrible comparison! Clark was awful and impossible to watch and even worse when it come to singing.
Roy Clark is one of the best musicians who ever lived so good comparison
@@jeremyblack3394 I think you're just uncomfortable with comedians
Jerrod, woah.
Dude put all his stats points in dexterity*
Feel like I got hit by a train
He's incredible
@@nayr3767and used all the mods ever conceived.
After seeing this band I have faith in music again! They do a lot of covers, but their original stuff is even better!
Music is not dead! And so badly needed in these weird times.
Just plain ole AWESOME!
What a talent and all the BOYZ are too! ❤❤❤ billy strings
ya killed it, man. Congratulations Guys!!!
Saw them in Charlottesville last month and he played this. And damn they absolutely shred this song. Definitely gets my blood pumpin!
Watching this young man mature has been a thing of beauty.
Dude I gotta see Billy live. He really seems to be having so much fun which translates to a great show. I mean the kid became super successful in the 2000’s playing bluegrass. He should thank his lucky stars.
The live shows are mind blowing, ya gotta get to one or however many they play in a weekend
That's so damn fast. Amazing playing and singing as always
Was at this show and I have listened to this over and over since!!!
The best on earth right now. Folks will look back at this band the same way we look back at the dead
Yes
They are totally awesome, seen them three magical times, Billy has revived my faith in music. But the Dead have like 50 original classic songs that everyone wants to cover 50 years later. That's what makes you truly timeless. And Billy has taken already established ways of playing guitar to the next level, but Jerry invented a way that no one ever envisioned. There is a difference between absurdly talented and genius, but there's still time.
Dear God I hope not
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer ride the wave baby!
Old sounds,but Billy putting a new twist to blue grass, keeping the old alive, but he killed this one, hat’s off to you Billy.
Excellent song. Excellent cover!
Well I been watching you Billy and I damn sure like your music I know sonny and Bobby would be very proud of your rendition .Keep up the good work I know you don't consider yourself traditional but you have done great things for bluegrass music and the fans just keep loving it you play your heart out and it shows
Fantastic!!!!!!
So much great music everywhere these days. We are so lucky !
Thank you. It extends well beyond Billy and before he came onto the scene. How lucky are we to be able to see them all when we can.
This is beautiful to me.
fantastic i bought your cd first one ever im a 70s 80s rocker & 68 years old great band
Best mandolin I ever heard!!!!
Awesome talent young man, refreshing; pickers of classics... and your stage presence has me going from Doc to George Thorogood and beyond...... Thank You for restoring our faith in young talent to be treasured.
Hes becoming a legend
Watching a Boy become a Man, becoming a Legend in our lifetime.
I am so Wow'd hearing hin give so much mad respect to Ruby, Osborne Bros and all who covered it like Roy Clark! Daymmmmmmnnnnn
Fuck I remembering watching back in the '60s. My mom and dad there introduced me to Bill Monroe literally to bluegrass music on. You guys are amazing
I'm seeing them next month in Florida can't wait!
Thank You!!
He blows my mind how phenomenal he is!
The band is great but there is something about those high notes in the singing from the Osborn Brothers that that makes there version truly great
Exactly!
None of them can touch Bobby's vocals in his prime. Not even the girls
@@kevinhuffman3900I don’t know if you’re related, or even from North Carolina but Roby Huffman was pretty dog gone close. From Johnston county NC, Bobby once complimented his rendition of Ruby. 😎
I can't wait to see him June!!!😍
Absolutely fantastic and fun. Well done lads.
Beautiful
Billy is one of a kind generational thanks Billy pretty goddamn good
Loving it Billy!
I'd say they all crushed it. What a band man.🤘
When a song is better than the original artist you know that you have a group of super stars 💖
better than the original? really?
Woahhh now. Fine job, but nowhere near Osborne Broths
How does that apply here though?
I don't think so. Billy's a tenor trapped in the body of a baritone. Bobby's on another level vocally, a real country strained old timey countertenor
Well, Cousin Emmy might disagree. I prefer the Rhiannon Giddens.
Unbelievable.
I wouldn’t want to debate who has the “best” version of this great song; I’ll just say that if you like this, you should also find a live version from Yonder Mountain String Band (original lineup). You’ll probably dig that, too.
Check out the Carolina Chocolate Drops' live version at Bonnaroo too - with Rhiannon Giddens singing lead.
Billy has the musicianship but Rhiannon shines.
I’m an old man. Never seen something like this.
Holy shit... Killed it..
Absolutely 👀💚🎵🪕🎶🎸🪕🎶💚
Thanks!
Thanks so much Catherine!
Osborn Brothers Ruby
wow,,,,,a future icon and his band at the top of their game,,,,awesome,,
Like the Osborne Brothers version much more!
Your whole damn band is killer OMG
Omg this one hits home!that's my Moms name and God help us all until he it makes right again! Oh no no Ruby ain't the One ✋💅and the 🦜 keeping it clean. Love it thanks
Atta boy!
Absolutely badass
Love it last time I heard this was when Yonder Mountain string band covered it and Billy just killed it even better than Jefff singing it which I never thought was possible. Keep on going ya'll.
Sweet take on this classic.
FYI - This song is NOT an original Osborne Brothers. It was written and first recorded by Cousin Emmy in 1946.
Indeed. Cynthia Mae Carver played professionally as Cousin Emmy. In 1935 she WON the National Oldtime Fiddlers' Championship. She was the first woman to WIN the event. In 1946 performing as Cousin Emmy and Her Kinfolk, she wrote and recorded Ruby(Are You Mad at Your Man). The Osborne Brothers released Ruby as a single in 1956, and popularized it, I suppose.
@@Dloomis494 Thanks for this beauty.
One of the VERY best in the business of makin' songs with strings!! And he would be even MORE appreciated if he could make it look as difficult as it is, rather than so damn easy!!!!!
I think Billy's gettin' the hang of this guitar thing...
I wish I could love this 1000 times! Rhiannon Giddens also does a beautiful version of this song.
Just Perfection!!!
Dayum.
Wow absolutely awesome
Dude you done a exceptional job I'm impressed. I'm a huge Osbourne Brothers fan , they would be impressed with redo
Just wow !!!! Awesome!!!
Yes!
Shhhheeeewwwww…. Took us all to his shanty.
I wanna hear him sing a child again by the osborne brothers I think he would crush it
I would like to see TBT do ruby. They would crush it !
Ridiculous. These guys are insane!
Fabulous!!
Good fucking god dude. This is sooooo dope
This was crushed by each and every band member!
You lack a meaningful vocabulary.😂
@@alan4sure Thanks for taking care of my light work here Alan. That's why I don't par on the Friends of BS Facebook page.
Wonderful Entertainers !
He never really looks happy, I hope there's a soul. May God bless you and protect you. Please him.
When you play so fine that guitar duffers like me hang it on the wall, you are at the top of the mountain. Live long and prosper Billy Strings
The stevie ray vaughn of blue grass!!!
get it boy!
Waaaaaaa. Hooooooo!
SICK
Love it don't if daddy would have lol he would have loved it
Great rendition, but lemme tell you, this song is waaaay older than the Osborne brothers
This is NUTS!!!
Wow
Very good and I really like his music but no one can sing Ruby like Bobby
Sweet 💙
Is it really the Osbourne Brothers? I used to love the song because it had Little Ricky Skaggs singing....I like the ob too though.
You're better than Garth Brooks you know how to play believe me I love it the way you play awesome you're better than any country singer I know
I notice an Axl Rose influence among others..so fun
❤️
I wouldnt say crush it. he does it a key and a half lower than original. good version though.
Damnnnn
Son!!!!!
