I am 68, been a bluegrass fan most all of my life, Never thought there would ever be anyone else like Doc Watson, but then I herd Billy. First time I herd him he was very young, This Young man will be a force for many years, not only because he can really pick, but because he is a good person.

Fellow Carolina guy here! Dad used to play Doc when I was just a kid. Had an opportunity to see Doc, but missed the show. Once I found Billy I instantly knew he was Doc reincarnated. I have seen Billy 3 times now and this kid amazes me each time. He has shown so much respect to Blue Brass and honors The Doc. What a gift we have to enjoy this music!

Serious thanks for capturing this even though I gripe about folks with cameras at shows. I'm an old deadhead, and being able to find artists this young and this talented has been wonderful. With any luck, he'll be playing past the point when I can no longer hear him.

Amazing talent and fantastic in concert. His whole band is amazing. It's like a bluegrass, widespread panic, grateful dead, phish concert all in one. I hope he doesn't burn himself out but I'll be looking forward to seeing him for years to come.

Me too, it was still a great show in Louisville, but I thought the energy from the band was a tad low/off...but it was so hot and muggy. Also thought the acoustics in the Ampitheater and the sound mix were off...I wanted to hear the guitar featured more prominently and it got buried in the 4 other instruments sometimes. Man I would of loved to have seen this beautiful solo acoustic set done in Louisville! I was at the Sat and Sun shows in Louisville...which night(s) were you there?

I love the Black Mtn Rag. The version that opens the Pickin' For Merle episodes that were on PBS (NC anyway) is killer. Billy's is good too. The Pickin' For Merle episodes were filmed at the 1992 Merlefest as I recall. Oh, and Randall Collins. Norman Blake at his best. Plus the Cuckoo. It seems like I've heard Peter Rowan do this song many times. Great each time.
