Stringbean, Grandpa Jones, Scruggs, Lester, Monroe...they all gotta be smiling down from Heaven hearing this.

His facial expressions, the head bobbing, and weaving, are priceless, great showman, and awesome guitarist, !!

Lester and Earl are smiling in heaven saying dang that boy can play

I've seen Billy before and liked him, but jeez Louise, at 63 years old and a lifelong bluegrass fan from SC, thats the best Flatt and Scruggs cover I have ever heard. Best Bluegrass I've seen in many a year!!!

Billy is truly and "old soul" in a young man's body. He has the rare gift of expressing a modern interpretation of any classic bluegrass ( or rock for that matter) song and yet remaining true to the original artist every time. And his supporting cast is right on point. Lucky to be living in his time!

Anyone who isn't familiar is missing out. Strings is the new guitar god.

So great that Billy and the band can do straight-up trad bluegrass without affect or irony, and just nail it -- and then pivot to a Grateful Dead or Zeppelin cover in the blink of an eye. Keeping the flame burning, and keeping it fresh.

Giving away 200 guitars to kids where you went to school is a very honorable thing to do . Thanks Billy.

So young but so much honor to the grass

Talent like this comes around maybe 2-3 times a generation. Tremendous.

Billy is a once in a lifetime talent.

We've reached the point of Billy's career where he will simply get bored of greatness, start to experiment with his experimentation, and in doing so launch bluegrass to a level of the stratosphere no one ever thought possible.

When we lost Doc Watson and Merle I thought that sound was gone forever. This is what evolved. Thank You Billy!

Oh my goodness his voice is a thousand years old. It breaks my heart and makes me smile and I love it 💜💙✌️

As a traditional bluegrass fan for the majority of my 50 trips around this rock, Billy and band are giving the utmost respect to the old school guys but with their own spin. Everything evolves. Bill’s Dad was a major influence but he was allowed to explore other music as well and I think this has made him one of the top musicians in the country. Not just bluegrass. To do what he does on an acoustic guitar, it’s skill and talent. Very few have that. Much love to all.

Billy has one of those unique and soulful voices. His joy of music and life is apparent.

Unreal musicians. I know there have always been "great" ones around but these guys are individually and collectively fantastic. It's a very traditional bluegrass sound with some very new or contemporary variations. Billy's vocals are evolving but masterful for someone so young.

About a year ago I stumbled across “ Dust in a baggie”. So happy I did!

Billy is one of the only people I've heard do that little vocal inflection at the end of some lines, I don't know how to describe it, but I imagine you all know what I'm talking about.

I have never understood how ANYONE can play notes that fast and that precisely. It is amazing to me.

Holy cow this just sent chills up my spine. I always love listening to Flatt & Scruggs and the old bluegrass music, and this fella just made it sound as if to ghost we're singing from the Ryman. I love it

This kid is amazing, and one of those “ one of a kind “ voices, I’m a new fan, forever. Awesome

Couldn’t agree more with all of the positive comments. The entire band is extremely talented. Banjo player totally killing it. Mando and bass totally killing it with Billy. Im almost 50, grew up going to bluegrass festivals with my parents in the 1970’s to very early 80’s. How lucky was I as a child to sleep in a 72 VW Bay window bus, or lay out under the open sky on a blanket at a bluegrass festival ! These guys are keeping that awesome feeling alive while reminding me that there are plenty more memories to be made! Great music for memory making! It has been missing for a while and now its back!

Damn this kid is good! Killed the vocals… Killed the guitar and the solo…. and the band killed it behind him!! First time I’ve seen him. I’m looking for more.

He is just amazing and the band is the whole package! Wow!

One of the best things to happen to country music for a long time

Gheeesh💥 unbelievable!!!!

If you haven't seen Billy live, you're missing out. Him and the band are amazing

Killer! Just found this kid the other day, I've been jamming billy ever since...

Wow. Banjo Man came up with some new licks in that one that I have never heard before. Those little clicking, percussive notes in the right place at the right time were orgasmic.

What I love about him is he feels it deep with in his soul!

This is Real Country boys and girls.

Billy is a phenom.

The mandolin player top three in the country had to watch him like 15-20 times he got my attention

Mad respect for all the guys in this group. Yes, Billy is superb ! But so are the others 👍💥💥💥💥🇺🇸🇺🇸

First time I heard him was with Del MacCourey - well done! I'm 74 and have listened to Bluegrass and gospel most all my life. Family and friends would sing and play their instruments mostly on weekends. Thanks for this wonderful music!

I like the old style of bluegrass music but damnd if Billy ain't making this new version look and sound good. Very talented young man

Let's have some love for Billy's bandmates. They too are awesome! I'm hard at work on my guitar chops, and hope to overtake Billy sometime in......well, never. There's no substitute for talent. Not even hard work.

Got to love these guys, just when it looked like Blue Grass music was fading, along comes Billy Strings and band to resurrect the sound in all its glory. Billy Strings is the most talent in one place since the passing of the originals.

😮 he's really cutting the grass Thumbs Up Guys

he's a genius so is the whole band they make billy step up his game

Billy - Take your place in the line of great ones. You have much to bulld on and lot's of new ground to plow. The world will enjoy watching and listening for decades. Take care of yourself and don't let it go to your head. You are blessed.

Jesus! he's getting better and better! they all are!

Billy is bustin at the seams with talent that he has too express himself in all sorts of ways and that's really great. Don't forget the great Tony Rice wasn't a strictly bluegrass picker or singer either folks. Enough said.

I was at this show. He drove around the parking lot in a golf cart and a megaphone hyping up the crowd before the concert. Great show! Check out one tin soldier, the song he opens with.

goddamn...I’ve been on a Billy Strings bender for a while, but this! this is from some other dimension. Spooky, shaman stuff. The banjo and mandolin solos are incredible. Billy’s vocal is astonishing-he has such command of his singing now that he can take chances and get to someplace way beyond what we expect, and his guitar solo? all that wild chromatic stuff, all those rhythmic shifts, just jaw-dropping.

I am a guitar player. Billy is way beyond good. He is incredible!

What a great jam tune. As a former banjo player and now a flat picker it remains one of my favorites. It is just built for drive and expression. And yup, Billy and the band crushed it. Huge respect to Billy Failing on the banjo. He is becoming one of the best - his timing, musicality and technical skills are spot on. A Steve Martin banjo award would not be surprising.

I am flat out of superlatives to describe Billy and his very talented band....Extraordinary doesn't seem to be enough

Every once in awhile there is a prodigy genius in alot of things ,,Billy Strings is one, he is amazing, fantastic chops and musicality ,,and voice too,,,also originals compositions are beautiful ,,Away from The Mire ,,

No matter how many times I watch this I’m always picking my face up off the ground afterwards

His vocals are so great now. Catching up with his picking for sure.

Oh yes, Billy Strings is a very good singer and guitar player and his other band members are superb too! This is why they make a great band!!!

Got me a sip of RYE Whisky and this soooooooo goooooooood music..... Don't need much else tonight....

Billy is amazing no matter what he does. ❤🎵❤🎵

Life is good when you just discover the likes of him. Doc Watson lives. Billy Strings is the real deal.

I've been listening to bluegrass since the '60s this is one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard Nice job guys

Awesome bluegrass! Love it and love Billy's talent.

And he can sing.

Billy Strings is launching his sidemen into bluegrass fame. What a great band!

Lester Flatt’s smug old self could not deny that Billy nailed this classic.

God touched billy before he got here,an said go entertain people,this kid is doing just that.what a talent

An immense talent for a classic country song. Has recaptured the spirit and sound.

Again thank you Billy 😊🙏☺

"MY GOD! THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH THIS FELLA!"

I Thank the lord for giving me ears- so I can hear this!

Banjo player Billy Failing kills it on this one. I always liked it when Earl Scruggs would play rhythm with the coolest licks in the background. At the 1m 9 s mark Billy F. drops back but still wears it out. Man these guys are talented. I have got to see these boys live.

Once in a generation musician, so darned good.

Billy Strings is the real deal.

I said it before and will say it again this man is headed for fame and fortune don't let it own you. Down home awesome.

I'm 61 and been playing music since I was 14, I couldn't play like this is If I had 4 hands.

Man you don’t need lights and smoke . Your damn good mood need for the theater

Scottish and thats something else 👌🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿heaven sent 🙏

Del is a national treasure. Here folks is another.

Fac…this guy is awesome 👍👍👍😁

He killed it on that solo! Great singing too🎶

He's a musical genius!

The entire world is blessed when a man's interest, passion and God-given skill all align. That's Billy Strings.

I was in southwest Virginia for 5 years and the college put on a bluegrass concert. This kid's got Seldom Scene Clinch Mtn. Boys and that true 'pickin and grinnin sense. Guitar work is impressive. The band's right up there with him... Bravo.

Billy Strings band, the best in creativity, naturally gifted talent beyond words to explain. Thanks guys for using your creative abilities, talents, gifts to inspire the world, and make it a better place through your wonderful music. Appreciate your sacrificial labors, practicing, techniques, work very, very much.....Mucho Gracias

Tradition lives!!

Amazing is all I can say. Not sure I’ve seen anyone quite like him in my 67 years.

Always love this tune. Billy does an updated version. Also really like the Banjo player one of my favorite bluegrass instruments.

I've always respected bluegrass musicians, but didn't care for bluegrass music. Billy has single-handedly changed that. Just amazing.

Every song is a once in a lifetime performance.

I had tickets to this show and missed it. Saw him in Asheville last weekend....holy smokes. Now I'm thinking of driving to Wilkes Barre.

Those two names bring back some great memories.Flatt & Scruggs. Every cookout,Christmas, we’d be listening to the Grand Old Opry.

It is so refreshing to see the pure unpretentious musical artistry of Billy Strings and his fellow musicians.

Billy exists on a plane all his own.

Billy! You're the best man. You're ahead of your time.

I'm 60 from Nitro WV thought old and in the way did the hottest version of this but this is pure gold.Mountaineers are always free

That was something and I don't care what your something is✌️❤️🇨🇦

Baby faced assassin...killin' it

He is at his best with the traditional songs! Although he does have some KILLER originals on his Tinfoil and Turmoil album!

This is a born talent that only gets better with time I know I am so grateful to see an listen to him love your fan sunshine 🌞

I've been going to these bluegrass events my whole life especially in Glenn Rose Texas

Billy sounds exactly like the original. Wow. Just like when Scruggs was young. Must be his offspring. 👋🏼 😁👍🏻 I should also mention. Exelant job!!!!

fabulous.......Fantastic!!!!!

Oh my! I remember this song and thought recently about suggesting Billy sing it. There you go! Great Billy, and that banjo. Good picking.

My favorite we’ll done best I ever heard congrats
