I was right there. I had walked down to get water after the second set. I was there at the left side of the stage as he returned to encore. Security let me step in closer. I was about 30 feet away as he sang, without no one else around. I had tears in my eyes. You could feel the vibration and witness the silence at that moment at Red Rocks.

First heard Doc sing ’Am I Born to Die’’ in 78 at Gerties in greenwich village He was there with Merle and T Michael Coleman and he also sang it as the first encore on along night of fst picking.. To hear Billy own in the same way 44 years later was as if to die and go to heaven for 15 minutes.... My heart flies today. With Doc and Billy the soul brothers of flat picking.

Haunting sounds from roots originating centuries before America was born.

Billy strings is a treasure that needs to be on country radio

Holy Sh#t ! There IS NO ONE around like this kid !

Being from North Carolina I grew up on Doc's music and what Billy has done to keep it alive is a blessing. Thank you @billystrings!

“Fathers, do not let your sons forget Do not let your sons forget where their essence was just formed, when their bodies were most vulnerable, they were protected by the womb of a woman. If they ever call all women weak, remind them of the strength of their mother who pulled her whole body apart to give theirs a home.” ― Nikita Gill

So fucking good

AAWWWOOOO

🔥🔥🔥

Holy shit bro!!! I'm dead!!!

some pipes on the kid!

Idumea written by Charles Wesley. We love to sing it Shape Note. I don’t remember who wrote this extraordinary tune.

I know Billy actually met Doc and played with him.

He does no wrong in my eyes……😋

It IS a great Doc Watson tribute, but the song is much older--it's a Charles Wesley hymn from the 18th century.

True talent Wow baby so amazing love all of your skills always your Sunshine ❤️🌞

Cold Mountain the movie. It’s in the soundtrack.

Nice vibrato

Ralph Stanley: “O Death…” Billy Strings: “Hold my joint. On second thought, don’f.”

😲😲😲

Wow!

Sing it William Apostol

I remember my stupid friends saying he couldn’t sing lol

Isn’t that Amazing Grace tune?

I prefer Ralph Stanley, myself. Different strokes, I guess.

I’m not happy that Doc is accredited for Idumea. He sang it. He didn’t write it.
