You think random people online understand what this is more than the friends cheering and encouraging him in one of their homes, long before his success?
Yup. What’s funny is the guy in the back is his body double 😂 2 years ago the jokes about him were great. He is so mysterious. We need to know who this legend was 😂
Man I swear the gentleman standing up is an awesome musician I met while living on the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Played in a badass band named Bonepony.
damn boi. i tell you what, i first saw this video i forget how long ago, and its been a good minute since i last watched it before today. but to this day i cannot watch it without playing it at least four times in a row because i get to a-tappin my foot and a-clappin my hands and a-sangin along... and this time imma send it to my dad.
This is what God given talent looks like. And it's what hard work looks like. The young man obviously knows he's been given a gift and instead of squandering it, he worked hard to become in my opinion, a world-class musician.
Jared...you're a silly man...he spent his life dedicated to his craft...talent is imagination...its only hard work and dedication that develops SKILL and a MASTER of his CRAFT.
Agreed, love the relaxed jam. I have seen him do this with other celebs now and bands but his best jam is all on his own here with his friends without a doubt.
His best time: best haircut, best clothes, best power of youth, best voice, such the best in and of him!!! Now he looks like the long haired son of Paul Teutul Senior or a part of the Kelly Family 😢 why he became old so fast? And why do the youngest and rustied nail in the backyard become so Mainstream? All his edges and fire drowning out... Go - shave, shower, haircut and back to your roots!!! The young Billy was a masterpiece send by the Lord but the devils Dollars washed it away.
Saw a video the other day of billy rolling a joint! Saw several of him smoking one! WHO GIVES A FLYING F...! Does that make him or willy or snoop all tough badasses! Woo hoo look at me i can smoke dope! Big fu..... deal!
In that setting he could easly look like hes in the old days..would make a great movie..a poor country boy trying to make it..the movie would be called strings...
Outstanding job! I really appreciate you keeping the old mountain music alive, and updating it with modern topics instead of singing the same lyrics from years ago. FWIW, the guitarist's hairstyle and what I can see of his clothing is very familiar, like he just stepped out of the 50's and early 60's. You guys should play at the Carter family's annual event, you'd likely not get paid much if at all but you'd really gain interest for people who, unlike me, didn't stumble upon you on UA-cam. Good luck, and good on you for keeping those old styles of music alive - without people like you, the younger generations would lose this part of our cultural heritage.
Oh, don’t you worry about Billy here… he’s doing all right with his music! Y’know, winning a Grammy in 2021, dropping a duet with Willie Nelson last week, little stuff like that. :)
How? Don't you need to be 60+ and retired to be on this level. that's insane. made me think in a middle how damn cool it must be to be able to do that whenever you want.
F*cking amazing playing and singing bro! By the way, had the same table back in the late 70's. Only difference, it had a huge glass bowl full of weed in it. A few lines of coke on a mirror and some ludes in a small dish. 😉😉😉😉 Now I just dream of those awesome days gone by. I was lucky enough to stay out of prison and only busted for drugs once o a little weed and was in Las Vegas NV Jail for 19 days. Back then I was very lucky because I watched a friend get sent away for 20 years for a pot seed with intent to grow they said. I never seen him again to this very day.
After watching this for years, I enjoy the familiar sight of his supportive, barefoot, hobbit friend in this video.
EXACTLY BRO! Billy needs him just to sit in the back of all his shows 😂 Flip his hair every once in awhile. Slap his knee a few times😂
He's the Dude. Pretty sure he was holding the good stuff. Ya, would love to see Billy bring him back again.
hey there, Shaggy's just at a low point after having to pay Scooby Doo's extortionate vet bills. Give the guy a break.
The samwise to his frodo
He's the bearded dude in the newer videos.
The one dude in the world with an acoustic guitar at a party that you're not avoiding.
Lol
Some say George of the Jungle is still holding onto his bag strap in utter awe, to this day. Absolutely fabulous.
I'm dying xD The guy does look like him
I dunno who's this going out too ...I can't believe I thought I met his brother in Lismore
Dude in the back definitely offers side quests 😂
Honest to God. One of the best performances known to man. Guys in the background have no idea what they're witnessing
I think they know exactly what they’re witnessing. Never forget the ones who supported your vision from the very start! That’s these guys
You think random people online understand what this is more than the friends cheering and encouraging him in one of their homes, long before his success?
dude in the back standing there like he gives side quests.
After hearing this, my guitar sold me in a yardsale.
He he he how many of us feel exactly this way?!😂
Hey man, this type of stuff is possible and I think that's pretty cool
His flatpicking is as crispy as that hair part.
So is his Travis picking,Fingerpicking,Chicken picking. He is amaz8ng
This is the best statement
Close
Lmfao..
this was the first song I heard Billy do about two years ago and have been a fan ever since!!
Same here
Same here.
Yup. What’s funny is the guy in the back is his body double 😂 2 years ago the jokes about him were great. He is so mysterious. We need to know who this legend was 😂
Why was it reposted? Any ideas?
@@peopleofpeople9347 for clicks.
Long time bluegrass listener, no time meth user. This is amazing. Reminds me of college when we'd just get together and jam.
*NO TIME BLUEGRASS LISTENER ALL TIME METH USER HERE!!!* 😳
Blows my mind how great he is!! ✨ WOW!!
Man I swear the gentleman standing up is an awesome musician I met while living on the Kentucky/Tennessee border. Played in a badass band named Bonepony.
This guy is awesome just chilling at his house with his buddies and a guitar fucking amazing
I was laying here heart-broken and this song calmed me and put me to sleep... thank you sir! I don't know how or why but it did lol
damn boi. i tell you what, i first saw this video i forget how long ago, and its been a good minute since i last watched it before today. but to this day i cannot watch it without playing it at least four times in a row because i get to a-tappin my foot and a-clappin my hands and a-sangin along... and this time imma send it to my dad.
Dude shreds! His cover of ‘Nothing to me’ is super dope 🔥
This is what God given talent looks like. And it's what hard work looks like. The young man obviously knows he's been given a gift and instead of squandering it, he worked hard to become in my opinion, a world-class musician.
This man sold his soul how else do you explain this
Jared...you're a silly man...he spent his life dedicated to his craft...talent is imagination...its only hard work and dedication that develops SKILL and a MASTER of his CRAFT.
God-given gift? lol 🤦♂
No. He just *worked* really hard at becoming good at something. Damn simp.
This is awesome - his picking is so ferocious!!
Pure talent, lots of respect from Stockport, England ✌🏻
Such a classic. He’s so young here and has come so far.
Hidden gem. Wow! I will have this on repeat!!!!
Blew me away- I just sat in stunned silence watching. Unbelievable
There will never be a better recording of this. It's not possible.
Agreed, love the relaxed jam. I have seen him do this with other celebs now and bands but his best jam is all on his own here with his friends without a doubt.
His best time: best haircut, best clothes, best power of youth, best voice, such the best in and of him!!!

Go - shave, shower, haircut
and back to your roots!!!
The young Billy was a masterpiece send by the Lord but the devils Dollars washed it away.
This video will lead you down a beautiful rabbit hole. So glad my buddy showed me this.
Thanks to UA-cam for introducing me to this guy tonight! AIC's "Nutshell" blew my mind. I'm an instant fanatic!
